Brits: Please scream. This is a Labour govt proposing to hand the property of individual British workers to largely US corporations.

#LunarEclipse FAQ:

Q: Is it safe to look at?
A: Absolutely! Unlike a solar eclipse, there's no UNsafe time to look at a lunar eclipse.

Q: Do I need a telescope?
A: Nope! Best view is with naked eye. Just look up!

Q: Does the eclipse portend terror & doom?
A: Not at all! The news has that covered.

Mass survellience. 83,000 cameras used to locate one woman. Why? Because she had an abortion. That's what Ring and Flock Safety are doing. If you don't want to help the government surveil people for exercising their privacy rights, get rid of your Ring cameras.

I am here going to suggest you get Dil or No Dil, the short story collection, because it contains the best romance short I have ever read (Jesse's Girl, a stone cold classic riff on Jolene) and IMO Suleikha is the best short-form romance writer working today.

The @societyofauthors.bsky.social and other creatives orgs have launched a new report showing the calamitous impact of generative AI on the creative sector. It's doing so much damage.

ICYDK, publishing is in a decline. Many authors who have had dependable contracts in the past are now scrambling to make ends meet and seeing lower advances and fewer sales than ever. If you see lots of book publicity posts, it's because we're scared and trying to keep our jobs during The Horrors.

Cover to THE CALAMITIES by Chuck Wendig (designed by The Boland Design Co).

Dark cover -- blacks, reds, golds. 

A man in a fancy suit with a blurred red face sits on a leather couch, casually, legs crossed, arms spread in recline. Above him is a gold-framed painting of a man spread in hellish torment. 

At the top, the text: NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author of THE BOOK OF ACCIDENTS

There's quite a lot going on, so it feels weird to be like HEY HEY LOOK AT ME, but maybe you like books, and like books by me, and want to see the cover to my next one, coming in August:

Apparently someone is also pretending to be me in order to market author services to other authors, using the account oliviadade1h@gmail.com.

Please know: **IT'S NOT ME.**

Believe me, I know very little about marketing (πŸ˜‚πŸ˜­) and would never dare to advise others about the topic!

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT:

If you receive a marketing pitch from "Smart Bitches Strategic Partnerships," IT IS NOT US.

Big thanks to the Cold War historian who forwarded me the scam email he received.

AGAIN: NOT US.

I have now created a template letter you can send to your MPP if you're in Ontario or to your MP anywhere in Canada; while this is primarily a provincial issue, it could also have major repercussions nationally & that must be considered

The hard cover with decorated edges of A MAN FOR MRS CLAUS by Rebekah Weatherspoon. A Black couple embraces. The man is kissing the woman's neck as she holds a sprig of mistletoe over their heads. He is wearing a red tshirt and fireman's gear pants with suspenders. She is wearing a short tight fur lined red christmas dress and white boots.

This book takes place in the summer so its technically a North Pole romance, not so much a Christmas romance.
