"Fan mail"
Apparently in trying to market my books on Goodreads, I caught the attention of a hacker, a bot, some artificial intelligence, a criminal organization, or a bored and profoundly evil kid sitting in mom's basement demanding she brings him Hot Pockets and Monster.
Since catching his, her, or their attention, they have sent me emails at two of my email addresses, they have sent me messages on my contact form here on my website, and they have posted their messages to me on content that I posted on Goodreads.
What is this content? They are threatening messages. Threatening to ruin my writing business and physical threats against me and my family. Funny thing is, there is no "call to action," just evil threats. I have reported them to my local police department, the FBI, and Goodreads.
Of course, nothing will come of that. Even though the parasite that has attached itself to me is "anonymous," and the FBI has the ability to easily learn who is making the threats, they won't. They don't have the manpower to do that, and no actual damage has been done to me. Just annoying threats that take a few minutes to delete, and allows the evildoer to remain in my head, rent free.
I'm not evil like this person is. I couldn't imagine doing this to people. I mean, I'll say sarcastic and sometimes rude things to people, but I won't threaten to destroy their jobs or physically threaten them. For this person--I'm going with the theory that it's a 15 year old kid using AI for help--it probably makes the little guy feel powerful, sitting behind his "anonymity" threatening men. But, Junior, God sees what you are doing to me and others. God will judge you harshly. Stop doing what you are doing. Repent of your sins against God and man. Ask Jesus to save you.
So you can see what I am talking about, I will post some of those fun "fan mail" messages I got here:

Deletion by bots
Along with the annoying crap that this hacker or threatener is pulling on me, Google had to add strife. They just took down my Google account I setup to market my books. The reason, they claim, is that they assume that I am a bot. This is as stupid of a situation as AI presenting a "captcha" to a human to make the human prove that he is not a bot.
Have you ever screamed at your computer, "YOU'RE THE BOT, NOT ME!" I have. So stupid.
So, with Google nuking my Google account, that kills the YouTube channel I was setting up and my Gmail. It kills Google forms and Google docs. I can work without the Google suite of products. This won't destroy me, but it's annoying because many of the products that Google makes are useful.
I actually hate the Google company. I think they have done much evil. I did appeal their nuking of my account. But if they don't give it back, maybe it's a "good riddance." They are a nasty company. Maybe this was a blessing in disguise. I might do better figuring out how to use their competitors' versions of their most useful products.
