Authors Challenge Meta’s Use Of Their Books For Training AI Meta used millions of pirated books to train its latest AI model, Llama 3. All this raises questions about Mark Zuckerberg's leadership style.

Every writer is furious to learn that our books have been stolen. I know I am. I have worked for over 30 years to develop my skills, and then for one immoral twat to steal it because he couldn't be bothered.

There is something so lovely and just so cool to see that my childhood library has ordered my latest book - and then asks me when it will come in Norwegian😊 #libraries #historicalreads

Maybe it's time to start digging for ivory in the back yard. Loads of Vikings roamed Oslo, long before it was Oslo of course. It would be fasinating to find a Japanese piece made with Viking ivory. Somehow they did get around, the VikingsπŸ˜†

I joined here a long time ago, apparently, I can see that from the last thing I posted. Now that I'm back, I'm finding loads of friends and new friends, and this is awesome!
Since last time I posted, I have a new book coming. It's a historical WW2 set in Norway. #historical #WW2

I read a book a day as a kid. It saved me on so many levels. I can't really claim to be much of a communicator. What goes on in my head, usually don't make it out of my mouth πŸ˜‚ Intersting article, though.

I used to write six books a year, so it adds up. Not sure I can do that again. Bloody hard work and not much time for anything else. I did have to use the calculator ... πŸ˜‚

My covers 'A Very Hygge Holiday', contemporary romance set in Norway. Lots of food, pretty cold in the winter, lovely summer. One has a quirky Viking dog, the other a very floofy Norwegian forest cat. Design by the publisher One More Chapter. It looks very Nordic πŸ˜‚
