HOLDING MY MAC UNABLE TO SHUT DOWN & APP COMPLETELY NON-FUNCTIONAL

I cannot delete this app. I found a Macworld article with instructions for deleting apps, but I am held hostage. The app is open on my MacBook. I cannot close it. When I click on the icon in the tray, I am told “No document can be created.” That’s all I get. Trying to run OS X and app updates in general, I am told I can’t because Book Crawler is open. Trying a hard shutdown, I am told I cannot accomplish this because Book Crawler is open. It won’t close. I can’t delete it. I have emailed the developer. After 24 hours, I have had no response for directions to solve the problem. Reading these reviews I am reminded I paid $15 for it. I had forgotten, buying it when my MacBook was new. DO NOT BUY THIS APP UNTIL THE REVIEWS VALIDATE that the developer has corrected things. I want this app. I need this app. This app is why folks like me buy MacBooks, iPads, and iPhones.
