This is ridiculous! You should at least be given an explanation.
But why would anyone be accountable for anything, right?!
Good luck with the follow up!

@courtneymilan.com One of my books originally listed in the Anthropic settlement is no longer part of it, and I just called to follow up and was told there's no way to find out why. Sharing in case this happened to anyone else.

I'm sick of pirate book sites.
A novel takes YEARS to write and edit. Surely you can spare a little to BUY it, or if not, USE A LIBRARY.
It's so damaging to authors and we won't be able to write more books if we don't get paid.
