The staggeringly fabulous cover for CE Murphy's BONE & BLOOD, a retelling of "Snow White, Rose Red" features two women standing back to back: one is garbed all in blood red, with dark red hair and a black mask; the other wears flowing white, with wheat-pale hair and a glittering mask. Cover art & design by Ravven.

#Booksky! Today is RELEASE DAY for BONE & BLOOD!

There is a story of a widow & her two daughters, Snow White and Rose Red, the most perfect & darling little girls who had ever lived.

This is not—quite—that story.

I'm so proud of this one, guys! Please RT! :)

Honestly I need historians to be the plaintiffs in every case I cover because if they make it to discovery you just KNOW those primary sources are going public.

Exhibit A: The American Historical Association uploading video depos of the DOGE bros to YouTube.

Grammarly Is Facing a Class Action Lawsuit Over Its AI ‘Expert Review’ Feature The feature, which Grammarly shut down Wednesday, presented editing suggestions as if they came from established authors and academics—without their consent.

I'm suing Grammarly over its paid AI feature that presented editing suggestions as if they came from me - and many other writers and journalists - without consent.

A glowing, stylised “F” symbol shines with golden light from the centre of an ancient stone wall. The weathered stones are arranged in a circular pattern around the emblem, giving the scene a mystical, fantasy-temple feel, as if the symbol is magically illuminated from within.

Thousands of authors publish ‘empty’ book in protest over AI using their work About 10,000 writers including Kazuo Ishiguro, Philippa Gregory and Richard Osman join copyright campaign

If you’re asking for recommendations of spicy books featuring ICE agents, maybe you need to take a good look at yourself, you know?

Well, this aged exactly how I was afraid it would

RE: #Glasgow fire.

Seen a panicky post saying we're being cut off from England. Please note that even if Central Station closes, there's Queen's ST, linking us to Edinburgh and the South. You don't get rid of us that easily.
