Just another normal morning where the President of the United States shares completely false claims from a conspiracy theory site. I’ve confirmed with election officials in Maricopa County that this is 100% BS.

535 is the House (435) + the Senate (100).

The number we need is half the House plus one (218), and two thirds of the Senate: (67 Senators).

Just 285 people, all by themselves, could change this wretched story for good.

That's wild. It's even wilder that there's not a chance they will.

If an editor uses AI to edit my no-AI new manuscript, does that mean my "copyrighted" content will be fed to a chat bot & become its training fodder?
And when I publish my book, what percentage of it will I have to declare as AI generated?
Are there editors out there who don't use use ai?

The cover has a light blue background tinge. Centered in the upper third is the title and underneath is the author. The illustrators name is centered in the lower one-sixth. In the middle is Stuart, dressed in a red shirt and yellow shorts. He's steering a canoe down a stream. There are various green plants in circled around the canoe, but Stuart and the canoe are center stage.

I am educating my brother about Hoopla and Libby. He wanted me to help him buy him an audiobook on Spotify and I said, "But, WAIT! Do you have a library card? Cause, that audiobook you want to listen to? The library has the whole series! For freeeeeee!!!"

As fiction writers, our works fulfill a collective need to, at times, escape reality, while launching alternate perspectives into the universe.
To all indie artists out there, keep up the great work!

It's #FriYay and I'm in procrastination mode.
I've written a Prologue, a Part I intro, and "Chapter I"
but, rather than stare at the blank space beneath that, I decided to do some housekeeping chores and discovered that I was a Brilliant Fortune Teller in the Roman Empire πŸ™ƒ

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientistβ€”because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

That's why connecting with an audience comprised of supernatural 'someones' has been my goal for some time now. I can see that to stay afloat in 2026 I must continue focusing on in-person events, where real readers can be met... So here's to us, meeting at a venue near you, soon!
