Yeah I was there when the request was made for consent to record and agreed, but didn't understand that the intent was for the panel to be the ENTIRE episode of a podcast. I have mixed feelings on that. And if others didn't give consent I agree it should be pulled.

At a con last weekend I met my first fan in the wild! She'd purchased a copy at an art fair a few months ago, and it was complete chance that she saw my husband's shirt (which had my book cover on it) she said "I loved that book!!" We chatted for a while and it was so surreal!!

What are people's opinion of panelists cosplaying at a con? Especially when the panel is not cosplay or costume related?

a golden retriever puppy on a bright pink rope leash prances through some tall grass. heโ€™s wearing a brightly patterned bandana around his neck and is carrying a miniature six-stripe pride flag in his mouth. his front right paw is raised mid-stride, like heโ€™s ready to hop into a pride parade at any second.

At this point it's more that she already saved the world once, and now she's tired. ๐Ÿ˜… it's an "I don't do that anymore" / "well too bad you're our option" situation

Itโ€™s a bad time in many ways. Maybe that makes it a good time for angry books.
My angry feminist sequel to Frankenstein is out in July.
It has:
โ€”body horror
โ€”an Arctic cruise
โ€”an scene with Mary Shelley that I researched for months
โ€”several bad men getting what they deserve

My book is "Still Chosen: Another Unwanted Adventure", a fantasy about a 36 y/o chosen one who learns she may have failed in her youth, and has to save the world again! Because you don't stop having adventures just because you're a grown up.

The thing about so-called generative artificial intelligence is, the intelligence isn't artificial. It's real. It's OURS. The techbros stole our intelligence (our data, our thoughts, our stories, our art) and used the software to regurgitate it and spackle it together into digital particleboard.
