J.K. Rowling on Twitter about her new novel The Casual Vacancy.
The so called “Sock Puppets”-Affair: A gruesome story of lies, fake identities and bad reviews. In tweets
Right. A lot of tweets about to come up. If you’re not interested in one of the UK’s bestselling authors sockpuppeting, stop following me…
— Jeremy Duns (@jeremyduns) August 31, 2012
The writer is Roger Ellory, who writes as RJ Ellory. He wrote A Quiet Belief in Angels, which has sold over a million copies worldwide.
— Jeremy Duns (@jeremyduns) August 31, 2012
Incidentally, I’ve screengrabbed all of this. Please do yourself. If the reviews suddenly vanish, it’s more proof, of course.
— Jeremy Duns (@jeremyduns) August 31, 2012
Backlash away, if you like. Or spread the word. Condemn it. Blog it. RT it. Facebook it. If a journalist, please report on it.

The digested @jeremyduns: best-selling author RJ Ellory spends hours publishing anonymous praise for his work and criticism of his rivals’.

All in publishing should follow @jeremyduns as he exposes a relatively new form of literary awfulness. It’s astonishing how prevalent it is.
