Booktok Author Arrested Novels & Stories

Declan smiled as he watched Mason and Lisa celebrate her book launch. The function room in his hotel had been decked out with crime scene tape and the chalk outlines of dead bodies on the floor. Six-foot posters of the book cover were plastered around the room and the space was filled with people milling around, eager to get a signed copy. It was the first time the reclusive A.A. Abernathy had ever attended a book signing and people were lined up out the door, eager to get a glimpse of their favorite author.

My phone buzzed—Noah. Not a call this time. A text. Did we do something wrong? My friend said your book might get taken down. My chest tightened. I typed back slowly, choosing words the way you choose steps on broken glass. We didn’t do anything wrong. Someone is trying to scare us. The book stays. You stay safe. He replied with a single emoji—🧠—then another: 🔒 He was locking himself into the part of the story the internet couldn’t access. I wanted to hug him so hard I broke the air.

AMBER. Not complying would also be a very big problem so I decided to get my acts right and do what I had to do before he got angry again. I hesitated for a moment before complying, revealing the book I had clung to like a lifeline. And the moment he saw the book, he stared at it for a moment before he unlocked the cell door and walked inside.

“I want to know about myself… as much as you can tell.” Maribeth sat up straight for a moment, then got up from her chair and walked over to the bookshelf against the wall. She picked up a small book with a black cover and brought it to Elora. Maribeth slid the book across the table. “This book was with you when you came. You hugged it tightly, even screamed hysterically when the police took this book as evidence.” Elora’s hand shook as she tried to hold the book. “Why didn’t you ever tell me?” whispered Elora. She fixed her eyes on it, and a strange feeling filled her memory.

The police, arriving on the scene, apprehended the stunned individual, bringing a momentary pause to the intense pursuit and revealing an unexpected twist in the unfolding drama. [Hello lovely readers! Welcome to my book! Hope you are enjoying it! Please support me by leaving me a rating and review! Your precious words mean the world to me! Love you all!]

"Months of writing, editing, revising and now it's a physical book people can buy." "People are buying," Sofia announced, checking her phone. "We're number seven on A****n's true crime bestseller list. Day one." The publisher had arranged for Blake to do a reading and Q&A. He stood at the podium, opening to Chapter Twelve the section covering his arrest and the moment he realized Morrison had orchestrated everything.

I say crossing my arms over my chest as I looked at the podiums, this must mean the person that killed Axel’s father and took the book didn’t bring it back, what a surprise. “I was thinking the same thing when I found this place, but if you look at the authors of the books, both are written by Alfred Bulkham, which means….” He says trailing off so I could come to the conclusion myself, when I did my eyes go wide as I turn to look at him again.

Arthur notices what I did, and he grabs the book under my pillow. "Why are you hiding this?" He asks me, and I notice that he catches Lucas's attention. Lucas looks at us and checks the book Arthur's holding. "What's that?" He asks him. "How to avoid writer's block? by Ezckapel." He read the title. I explain to them that I wanted that book. I explain to them that I've been suffering from Writer's Block since I got into an accident. Arthur got shocked by what he heard.

The host took the book from her, and his expression shifted instantly. That was the second trap I had set. Take the first word of each of the final five chapter titles, and they spelled out a sentence: I am a plagiarist. [Why would anyone put something like this in their own book? Unless the whole thing is stolen!] [I'm telling you, Bryan just took someone else's work and used it. This looks like something the real author planted to protect against theft.] The comment section exploded. Before the interview even ended, Bryan got up and walked off the set.

I got to my locker, input the combination and focused on getting my books out, I slammed it shut after picking the stuff I needed, but then I sighted someone beside me staring at an article over her screen. What's interesting is that my face is on it. What the...? "May I see that." I didn't wait for her to consent, I strode carefully and peaked properly. I only glanced through the headline and lost my head. "CAMILLA RENÉE ARRESTED AND CHARGED WITH ARSON." It read. The air was sucked away from my body. "If you were arrested, how are you here? Are you a criminal?" I glared and took off without answering.
