Even if AI could write a novel what problem has been solved? The problem of knowing what you’re reading was written by another person? Who loves reading novels but hates the part where your mind briefly and mysteriously touched another?
you draw up that ad for amtrak?

👶🏽 NOBODY'S BABY, a cozy mystery sci-fi by Olivia Waite
Just got an AI scam email that claimed to be from an *editor* at *Mira Books*, saying they want to make a *promo video* for While You Were Seething because they loved it so much. Sometimes it seems like they’re getting better at this, and then they pull this out of their asses.
The illustrated cover of DESIRE AND THE DEEP BLUE SEA by Olivia Dade, featuring a sunset and rocky cliffs in the background near a sandy shoreline, with an embracing couple in the foreground. The woman is brunette and fat and pretty, with her hair swept back. She's wearing a Grecian-style dress and has her arms around the neck of a dark-haired, lean man with glasses in a dark gray suit.
One of my self-published novellas, DESIRE AND THE DEEP BLUE SEA, has a gorgeous new cover from @lenikauffman.bsky.social and a new audiobook narrated by the incomparable Joy Nash--and that audiobook is out today!

I hope you love the cover and the story! ♥
My only issue with Your Monster is that it’s not seventy hours long. I want it to be made into a tv show and get ten seasons of it.
I woke up with the exact way to start this scene in my head and now it’s flying.
That this war with Iran is unpopular in a way never before recorded in American history has seen remarkably little attention from the press
This book is VERY fun and I think if you like pro wrestling, women in sports, ATLA, SheRa, or all of those, you should read it!
Tonight! Nicola had to cancel, alas, so I’m alone and utterly at your mercy. But I’m also the one with the microphone, so there’s that.

When I joined as the head engineer of the Torment Nexus project, it was to work on fascinating technical problems and make the world a better place along the way. I am appalled to discover that the Torment Nexus would be used this way and, now that my options have vested, will be leaving the project

Don't forget: ASK YOUR LIBRARY TO BUY THE BOOK!!
Libraries pay higher rates for books and requesting that your library purchase a book: A) costs you nothing and B) will make the author so, so happy
Sometimes I just need a good despairing cry when a wip isn’t going right for me and the pressure gets too high, and then five minutes later it all comes together.
Even family blockbusters are somehow now expected to be cynical and grim by people like this. It’s really no wonder that we never get a good Jurassic Park or Star Wars movie anymore. And a miracle that we got a great Superman.
You know what we’re missing now? Films with some actual heart and sincerity.
Amused by that one critic who’s still trying to bang that “no what we need is drama that challenges you” drum. We’ve got drama that challenges you. That is what is popular. Literally a cynical, mean ass film called The Drama comes out in about two weeks.
Very high chance now that this film is gonna blow up, and/or have legs for days.
Willing to be it’s the highest rated film of this type since Gravity in 2013. It’s already blown past The Martian. That critic was bang on when he said he thought they were looking at the first best picture nominee for next year.
I knew it was going to happen but I’m still crying tears of joy
Nobody’s Baby is now everybody’s baby! This second Dorothy Gentleman novella asks some difficult questions, such as: How is babby formed — in space? And how do you convince your soft-hearted nephew that he probably doesn’t get to keep it?
The first in the series was amazing! Go grab that and the sequel now!
how is "mayor chooses his words carefully" a NYT story but "president chooses his words like a haunted magic 8 ball on meth" not
And yet, so many Evel Knievel wannabes try to leap that gulf like it's the fucking Snake River.

When I see someone slagging people reading Romance, I just assume it's misogyny.
Can it be for other reasons? Of course. Yet when I actually engage with the hater, it usually turns out to be the case.
Who could have ever thought that destroying a social media site and populating it with bots and driving away normal people could lead to shit ads for shit things nobody wants.
