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

‘What makes Helen’s Judgement stand out is its distinctive portrayal of Helen, who is often seen in myth as a mere symbol of beauty or betrayal. Here, she is a fully realised character.’

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).

She's the most scapegoated heroine in Greek mythology, but there's never just one side to any story...

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?
