If you’ve been following me on twitter @CaffeinatedFae you have probably seen the huge scandal about Cristiane Serruya who has plagiarized at least 95 books, 43 authors, 3 articles, 3 websites, & 2 recipes. I’m creating this post so that everyone can support the real authors and buy the books that were so amazing #CopyPasteCris thought they needed to be stolen.
Looking for more explanation? Here are some good places to look Courtney Milan’s post, a comment from one of her ghostwriters, & Smart Bitches Trashy Books’ Post, & Nora Roberts’ responses 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, & 8. Here is an interview that Lucas Mota had with Cristiane Serruya about the plagiarism. Amazon links provided by Jeanna Louise Skinner (@JeannaLStars). Barnes & Noble & Kobo links provided by me.
I want to give a HUGE shoutout to Claire Ryan (@aetherlev) for creating an amazing algorithm that has been finding more plagiarism in the #CopyPasteCris scandal! FYI she’s an author so check out her books here. Claire just posted a brand new blog post about #CopyPasteCris! It’s a really interesting perspective and you should all take a look at it!
Also, if you want to hear Claire and I talk about #CopyPasteCris with Sarah from Smart Bitches Trashy Books give this awesome podcast a listen!
Nora Roberts has officially filed papers to sue Cristiane Serruya! Read all about it here. First decisions in the lawsuit can be found here!
