Plagiarism Files
Brazilian romance author Cristiane Serruya has pulled her book Royal Love from bookselling sites after being accused of plagiarism, first by The Duchess War author Courtney Milan, and then by numerous readers on Twitter who found Serruya had plagiarized other sources as well. Serruya blamed the stolen work on a ghostwriter she hired from the site Fiverr.com, and has taken down all the work she produced with that writer.
