LTUE Next Week, the LTUE Bookcast, AI Slop, and the Rest of the Week’s News Sands and Storms, my week has been kind of busy! Granted, I had family in town, but still, there's a lot to talk about today! So let's dive right into it! First up, the elephant in the room: Life, The Universe, and Everything is next week. That's right, it's practically here (but hopefully there's no LTUE Grinch waiting somewhere nearby on a summit).

This week's #writing news! You can also catch me on the #LTUE bookscast this evening at 6! Hit the jump for more!

The Bots Are Back in Town: Unneeded Amazon AI Summaries, “A Pirate Planet,” and Axtara Hey folks! Sorry for the quiet week. It's just been work work work mostly as usual, with not a lot to report on that angle that you haven't heard before. Draft work on A Pirate Planet has been completed, which means Pre-Alpha editing has begun on Axtara - Armies and Accounting. Also known as "That third Axtara book." Oh yeah. It's coming.

The bots are back: Amazon rolls out the dumbest use of AI integration seen yet, Armies and Accounting is in editing, and more!

Two Book News I know where I was going with that title, but I'm not certain it landed right. Oh well. Can't win them all. So, it's done! After a flurry of promotion, discussion, and anticipation, I've release two new books in the last month. Blood Less Vile in September, and The Phoenix just this last Tuesday. And now ... they're out! Which leads to once again, the shall we say "fugue state" that follows a book release.

Silence: The New Rejection That's Expanding in Insidious Ways | Jane Friedman When agents and publishers refuse to reply to submissions, is it any wonder that writers end up seeking validation from scammy alternatives?

Friday News: “Blood Less Vile” Public Beta Call, “The Phoenix” Nears Second Alpha, “A Pirate Planet” Moves Forward, and Memorial Day Wow. That is a mouthful of a title. And I'm going to tackle the shortest bit of news first, which is that this coming Monday is Memorial Day in the US, a day set aside for the memorial of US servicemembers that have died in the line of duty. A lot of people forget that, but that's what the day is…

Big old news post on three different book projects this week! Plus some discussion of Patreon, and more! Hit the jump!

Paperback Price Changes, Patreon Changes, and General Musings Wow. What a week. Or rather, what a series of weeks. Things lately have been ... chaotic. As you're about to see. Let's start with the paperback price changes. I recently was informed that due to low prices on Axtara - Banking and Finance, bookstores were no longer willing to stock it. This is because it was at a price point made almost half a decade ago, a price point which has now been punched twice—first in the general, boxerish sort of way by general inflation, and then by a sucker punch to the back due to the Trump Tariffs.

Lotta news this week, folks. Pricing changes for paperback, Patreon updates ... things are busy!

The Organization Behind NaNoWriMo Is Shutting Down -- Here are my Thoughts. Here are my thoughts about NaNoWriMo shutting down. (Post contains mentions about Child Grooming and Endangerment).

Have you ever participated in #NaNoWriMo before? Well, they’re shutting down. And I made this post to detail some of my thoughts about it.

Alpha Calls—Yes, Plural—and a Hemelein Submission Call for “Tales from the Silver City Saloon” Hey folks! We've got a Wednesday update here, but that's because we've got news that's hot and couldn't wait! First up, a reminder that Blood Less Vile: A Jacob Rocke Mystery has an Alpha Read going on right now and needs Alpha Readers! In addition, email invitations have been sent to prior Alpha Readers, but there's been an oddly low response count, which may mean Gmail (which most use) is acting up again, so if you're a prior Alpha Reader, please check your folders outside the main folder, as Gmail keeps moving even its own service's invites around and the email may have been shoved off to one of the secondary folders.

Two Alpha Calls AND a submission call? There's a lot of writing going on over here. Check it out!
