He’s no different than a publishing house, right? Well, except for passing himself off as an author and creating sock puppet accounts to review and upvote his own books.
#GHOST WRITING FORUM CRACKED#
Given that he’s cracked the top 100 with at least two books, it’s fairly easy to pinpoint where he’s making his $80K a month from.

Moreno notes in a follow up that short stories and novellas aren’t paying off so he’s moved on to full length novels with a greater upfront cost but higher payoff.

So that writer wrote two novels each for $1,500 up front ($3,000 total in advances) plus an additional $4,000 as her 15% share of the royalties to total $7,000 earned in May Do the math to figure out how much I made on the rest of the 85% in royalties (and that’s just two books). LOL I don’t pay $5,000 per book, more like $1,000-$1,500 + 15% royalties on gross sales after I make back the advance.

On Something Awful forum (account registration required & annoying video plays so turn down your speakers), he boasted of making $80,000 a month off his ghostwritten work. To one author, he has paid $7000 for her books. Moreno claims to have over 130 “books”in his catalog. Moreno bragged about his publishing success on the forums at a video game forum ( Screenshot here). He’s not always careful when identifying who the author and publisher is. Yuppie Bitch is the new name for Roslyn House Publishing LLC. The other authors are published by the multiple LLCs he has formed including, but not limited to, Red Garnet Media LLC (Denise Avery, Bree Bellucci, Elyse Clair), Infinite Muse Press (Haley Pearce, Nora Weaving, Eva Fellheart), Roslyn House Publishing LLC, and Yuppie Bitch (Hadley Danes, Natalie Baird). These last two authors are connected to the others via one reviewer who has reviewed just Moreno’s books plus Sylvia Day’s Crossfire.
So far he’s connected with the following pennames: Hadley Danes (non functioning website registered to RedGarnetMediaLLC) , Bree Bellucci, Denise Avery, Haley Pearce (likely his first ghostwritten novel), Dara Bowman, Natalie Baird, and CR Lacerte. He also may write under Chelsea Kendall, Amanda Lawless. What does Moreno do with these stories? He “edits” them and repackages them under several different identities. The “writer” would received $50 to $100 depending on length. Ian Moreno from the East Coast posted on “Hire the World” for ghostwritten erotic short stories. You can see exactly where this is going, right?
The positive reviews were upvoted and there were several five star reviews by individuals who had reviewed nothing else but a small circle of self published books. The reviewers started getting a massive amount of downvotes as soon as the bad reviews were posted. She left a negative review for a book and so did another reader. A reader emailed me out of frustration arising out of a run in over at Amazon.
This is kind of a long story and I’ll try to reduce it into easy to consume paragraphs but stick with me.
