The questions suggested that the people who made it were aware of ethical, intellectual, and environmental concerns about AI and so there was a lot of room to explain your answers and elaborate and I SURE did.

Our library system director shared a survey from a university in Texas collecting data from library workers regarding the use of AI in the library field and boy did I give that survey a piece of my mind lol

I got my first review for METROPOLIS DOWN and I don't know if it can be beat.

Image shows a scifi border graphic in a pale, muted purple surrounding text.

Top text is in the same pale, muted purple, and says REVIEW

Text below is smaller and in white, and says: “METROPOLIS DOWN is haunting, horrible, fascinating, and deeply romantic. It gave me the faith to reconnect with romance in my life by modeling mutual patience with trauma healing in relationships. All against a backdrop of space gore. A very special book.”

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

🕯️🫀COVER REVEAL 🕯️🫀

A big thank you to Fay Lane for creating a beautifully gothic cover for THIS HIDEOUS HEART that evokes a haunted Victorian séance parlor! The details are absolutely stunning — I can’t get enough of them.

THIS HIDEOUS HEART will be releasing this winter.

A darkly gothic pink and black book cover. The pink background has a subtle damask pattern. The design features an elegant black frame adorned with black candles dripping wax, ravens, and an anatomical heart framed by skeleton keys. THIS HIDEOUS HEART is at the center in a Victorian style font. The surrounding graphic with the blurred cover as the background reads, “ Step into the parlor. Montresor House awaits…” with “Coming this winter” at the bottom.
