Reinstate Jessie. Also, I am coming to the UK this week to talk about my book, which shares the history of trans people and also the way they were targeted by Nazis (something #JK denies.) If Rowling wants to pick on someone, Iโ€™m here for it and Iโ€™ll be in Londonโ€ฆ I have the receipts and I am ready.

#Mystery main character Petra Cloche talks about her psychometry, pets, fears, secrets, and most embarrassing moment: "I don't have a lot of human friends, or I didn't before moving to Bonneville, so I bond with my animals maybe even more than most people."

You have copyright whether or not you register it, but you cannot sue for damages if itโ€™s not registered. The anthropic settlement only pays damages to those who have registered. Many authors are finding their traditional publishers who were contractually obliged to register copyright didn't.

three book covers from the Haunted series by Chris Eboch each show a young teen boy and girl with a ghost

three book covers from the Haunted series by Chris Eboch each show a young teen boy and girl with a ghost

So it appears two of my books pirated in the #anthropic settlement, published by Aladdin/Simon & Schuster @simonandschuster.bsky.social in 2008, did not have the copyright properly registered by the publisher. Thoughts on what I can do about that? I donโ€™t even have a contact there anymore.
