Oh also of course my book and its follow-up (a similar medieval queer romance/thriller) are also looking for a new home. This book’s sales INCREASED every year purely on word of mouth. Imagine what could be done with marketing. Captive Prince x Song of Achilles:

The House of Atreus trilogy comprises Clytemnestra’s Bind, Helen’s Judgement and Electra’s Fury. All three are ready to go. Currently writing a standalone retelling of a famous but lesser-explored Greek myth. #GreekMythology #HistoricalFiction #Retellings

Sign the Petition Protect authors’ livelihoods from the unlicensed use of their work in AI training

My first novel was on the pirate website used by Meta to train their AI. Although the UK government doesn’t appear to give a toss about protecting authors’ scanty livelihoods in the face of greedy, morality-free big tech, there’s nothing to lose by signing this petition. 🤷‍♀️ chng.it/9Svmx6NwHK

Excellent article! “It’s hard for publishing people to realise just how opaque our industry can be.”

I’ve just finished these two novels, which I enjoyed immensely. Very well-written and unique perspectives on familiar legends. I’m excited to see what the third will bring (hoping to return to Clytemnestra and the further fall of the house of Atreus).

Every UK national newspaper prints identical front page Journalists and music industry urge Labour to abandon plan to water down copyright laws for AI firms, amid threat to £126bn creative industries

It’s precarious enough trying to make a living for most creatives. Copyright laws must not be changed in favour of big tech while disadvantaging creatives.

The UK Government is consulting on changes that could weaken copyright protections, allowing AI firms to use creative content without permission or payment.

🚨 Tech firms pay for electricity to power AI. why not pay for the content that fuels it?
