Okay, we already know what you’re thinking: “Which one?” And you would be right. There are so many, it’s hard to keep track of them all. So, Kat, the infamous blogger (and one of our Biggest Offenders) whose known for twisting the truth, giving half the story, and even telling blatant lies just to smear other people’s reputations, has done it again.
(Note: we want to apologize. We’ve been meaning to post about this for a while. We just didn’t have the time. We’re really sorry!)
Now, if any of you haven’t already noticed, Kat’s changed her Buzz Worthy News, Scandalous Scandals posts to what is now called Controversy or Controversies. And not surprisingly, here are a couple examples (links) where you can see her smearing authors we know, who’ve been victims of the GR bullies abuse in the past: and . You have to scroll down a bit to read her smear campaign, but trust us, it’s there. What’s interesting is what Kat says in regards to the headache Amazon’s erroneous email gave Jamie McGuire:
You see, they were reveling in Jamie’s misery when all of this happened. And why do they hate her so much? Because she succeeded despite them. She was one of the authors who was viciously attacked last year and yet her book still became a huge success. Quite a slap in the face for the bullies. Kudos to Jamie.

Anyhow, moving on to we wanted to address this time. This one was regarding Eve Thomas and what happened to her back in May. Here is Kat’s version of the story (try not to vomit):
Kat’s right about only one thing here. They do need to leave Eve alone. And Darkwriter is John G., another well-known bully.
Now, if you read Kat’s entire post (and this is not the entire post), it makes it sound like some unknown reviewer, who has no history with Eve whatsoever, gave the book a bad review and Eve suddenly, out of nowhere, freaked out and contacted the police.
Doesn’t it make it sound like that? And we all know that this is not the case.
What Kat fails to mention is that that review came from a person (Coaxial or All Hail Grimlock, a bookseller whose real name is Shoshana B.) who has been part of a gang (Angela and company) who have been harassing Eve for months. There is a whole history there (of the attacks on Eve by these people) that Kat just conveniently ignores.
You see, everyone, it all started back in February when Eve tried to apologize for promoting her book on GR and was attacked for her apology. Then Coaxial threatened to leave scathing reviews of her books without even reading them. The bullies didn’t stop there. They crossed the line when they contacted Eve’s charity to try and discredit her and then later began leaving all kinds of psychotic comments on her book page.
So, if Eve went a little crazy this time and freaked out, it was because of this. It was because these bullies isolated her, cornered her, made her feel paranoid and alone, like an animal caught in a trap, being harried by its captors (just like what Kat did to Rebecca Hamilton and so many others).
So, what did Eve do? She lashed out. Then, the GR bullies (with their weapons of choice: the GR fora and their blogs) jumped in with another character assassination saying:
Oh, look, everyone! This author freaked out over a bad review and contacted the police. How crazy is that?!
We’ve seen this kind of thing happen to so many people. It happens far too often and we’re getting sick of it.
Furthermore, Kat makes it sound from the GR email above that Eve was warned several times in the past before her account was deleted. We know for a fact that she wasn’t and that her account being deleted from GR came totally from left field and had everything to do with what went down with Angela and the Asshat group. It happened at the exact same time and Angela, being as paranoid as she is, was convinced Eve was behind the info leak that led to her conversation being posted in Asshats Will Be Asshats. The fact is, Eve had NOTHING to do with that, but Angela was convinced it was her. THIS is why Eve’s account was removed. (For more information, see our posts Asshats Will Be Asshats and Something Rotten at the Core of GR). So, you see, there was something very dirty with what went down that week and it wasn’t because of Eve’s behavior.
Now, we haven’t researched into the . For all we know, this could be true or it could be completely fabricated. In any case, it is irrelevant to what happened to her months ago and what happened to her just recently in May. As far as the book itself is concerned, we won’t make any comment simply due to lack of knowledge, but we will say that how she was treated was wrong and unjust. It makes us wonder, when all of this was going down, how come none of these self-righteous people (who think so highly of themselves and their “high morals”, i.e. Kat, ., etc.) reached out to Eve with love to try and understand why she was melting down? If these people are really the good, pious people they think they are, how come they didn’t stop to help another human being who was obviously going through a crisis?
We’ll tell you why. Because they are bullies. Plain and simple.
