A year ago I came up with a concept for a book.
I invited someone (we'll call them B) to join me on the project because I had worked with B on things before.
B has threatened legal action against me (in a different matter, unrelated entirely to the book project) and I no longer feel comfortable continuing the project with B involved.
I have documentation that I created the concept, own the domain names, and have done 95% of the writing/work thus far. B's contributions could be easily removed and replaced with something else entirely (or nothing at all, frankly), with the book suffering very little for it.
No money has been made thus far (as the book is not yet published), but B did put some time/money into research for their portion of writing.
What should I be aware of moving forward? Should I consider the project lost entirely? In order to save it, do I need to offer to buy B out? Can I simply remove their contributions and press forward?
Thank you in advance for any help!
