A screenshot of Cat Rector's website store. The audiobooks are listed at $20.99 Canadian and the collection of ebooks is listed at $24.99 Canadian.
This day of boycotting major businesses is a great time for me to announce that you can now buy my ebooks and audiobooks direct from my website!
Catrector.com/shop
Or from catrector.itch.io
Both platforms allow you to keep the files forever instead of via subscription model!

Dear Manager, last week I:
1. Woke up in the morning
2. Stepped outside
3. Took a deep breath
4. Got real high
5. Screamed from the top of my lungs, "WHAT'S GOING ON?!"

Findaway voices, the audiobook distributor owned by Spotfiy has partnered with Elevenlabs to offer AI narration on its platform. Shameful stuff.
#booksky #writingcommunity #narrators
Quite frankly, fuck Spotify.
No one asked for AI narration.
No one needs AI narration.
Authors knew Findaway/Spotify didn't have authors/narrators best interest at heart with the rights grabby TOS they tried to foist on us a year ago.We left in our thousands.

Hi, by telling your kid that what theyβre reading isnβt a real book and forcing them to read something they have zero interest in, youβre going to make them not want to read and you look like a hypocritical dick for doing so.

The cover image of The Rose Bargain by Sasha Peyton Smith. Several arrows flow from the cover, showing tropes and details from the book. Fae bargains, marriage competition, only one bed, royal brothers, forbidden love, female friendship, sisterhood and Bridgerton + faeries.
The cover image of Where Shadows Bloom by Catherine Bakewell. Several arrows flow from the cover, showing tropes and details from the book. Mutual pining, devoted knight/daydreaming noblewoman, poetry, Versailles inspired palace, deals with gods, Sapphic YA fantasy, dual POV, and shadow monsters.
New audiobook releases! I was thrilled to record these two incredible YA fantasy books for Harper, both of which have been released this week.

FOTUS just rolled back all of Biden's AI protections, so he can continue to feed his corporate ππ

If you scraped the Internet and used people's work without permission and compensation for GenAI, as OpenAI admitted to doing, you are stealing. Full stop.

Imagine a society where survival didn't depend on a job. Imagine how that would alter the fabric of...everything. Imagine if you could leave a job without fearing the loss of income or health care. Imagine the power of the worker in that society. 3/11
