"A body could only be that scared for so long before it died...or did something about it."

If you're in a burn-it-down mood, the last book in my Shadows of Otherside series might scratch that itch 👇🏾

Which is how I came to be an author, really

Writing the stories I wish I had at age 10/11 so someone who looks like me could be the hero of the story instead of the sassy sidekick or disposable cannon fodder (when there was someone who looked like me at all)

Groundbreaking investigative journalism on sweeping criminal conspiracies are important but if they were enough in & of themselves global wealth concentration and oligarchy wouldn't INCREASE post-Panama papers.

Having the files won't matter until we enforce that everyone is worth protecting.

Anadith Danay Reyes Álvarez died in May 2023.

That fact matters as much as its concealment.

I'm old enough to remember "at least we're not separating them, the camps have been made into family accomodations," talking points that dwindled into silence before 2021 ended.

“I watched him die… then I watched them maneuver his body like a rag doll— only to discover it was because they wanted to count the bullet wounds and see how many they ‘got’, like he was a deer.”

I was thinking about what gifts people used to give to readers (besides gift editions of famous poets' work and illustrated histories of wars and such), and while I was thinking about it, somebody brought a book to the counter....

I'm reading up on the new genAI features coming to Kindle with a great deal of dismay. Authors/publishers can't opt out of having our books scraped for these features, and we're sure as hell not being compensated for their use.

A company called SayPro Publishers has my book Elemental featured on their website and seems to be claiming I worked with them. This is a scam and a lie!

NEW: A major AI copyright legal showdown just took a huge twist today. Facing a class action on behalf of book authors that could've seen it pay over a TRILLION in damages for alleged piracy, Anthropic has agreed to settle instead: www.wired.com/story/anthro...
Anthropic Settles High-Profile AI Copyright Lawsuit Brought By Book Authors
Anthropic faced the prospect of more than $1 trillion in damages, a sum that could have threatened the company’s survival if the case went to trial.

From the SFWA (I'm a member)

This is the link they included; 13 of my books are listed: www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...
Screenshot of an email SFWA members were encouraged to share widely, which reads in part: "This summer, SFWA and other members of the Authors Coalition of America (ACA) have been involved in legal proceedings against Anthropic AI, which was trained on books downloaded from pirate websites. The good news for authors is that Anthropic is now going to trial so the court can determine the amount of damages they will be liable for because of their use of our pirated books. The court has decided this is not fair use, and a class-action lawsuit is now underway. SFWA is now being subpoenaed for contact information from past and present members. This data will be used by lawyers to contact potential participants who fit the definition for this class-action lawsuit, so they can receive monetary damages. You can find a partial list of pirated books used for Anthropic AI here."

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

5 years ago, I self-published my debut urban fantasy novel, Elemental

Since then it's won several awards and I published over a dozen more books set in the world of Otherside 🤯

Thanks to the readers who gave Arden a chance, and kept on reading 💙

WTF? I was quoted in this story but I have never spoken to the reporter nor would I have said those things. Is everything just generated by LLMs these days?

cosmosmagazine.com/earth/oceans...
To whom it may concern, and it should concern the editor: I was quoted in your publication: https://cosmosmagazine.com/earth/oceans/can-we-engineer-our-way-out-of-ocean-acidification/ Still, others aren't convinced that good intentions are enough. Dr. David Ho, Professor of Oceanography at University of Hawaii at Manoa, a cofounder and the Chief Science Officer of |C|Worthy, a non-profit that works on verifying ocean-based carbon dioxide removal, believes carbon removal efforts like ocean alkalinity enhancement shouldn't be left solely in the hands of private companies. "They have no way to prove that what they're doing is effective - that's a big problem," Dr Ho said. The crux of the dilemma, he explains, is that we are fighting a planetary-scale problem, but are doing it with tools that are still being built and tested. Geoengineering is not inherently good or bad, but it is inherently powerful. And power, especially when exercised in ecosystems as complex and fragile as the ocean, must be handled with caution. However, I have never spoken to your reporter, nor would I have said those things. I would like you to remove my quote from your story, and issue a public correction and apology. Furthermore, you should look into whether the other parts of the article are also factually correct. Thanks. d.

Every scene needs:

Obstacle + discomfort + action + consequences

That’s how you create a story with personal stakes, a plot intrinsically linked to your protagonist, and a character arc that gives the protagonist the internal resources they need to overcome the final obstacle.

Just a little something to celebrate having a book ready to go to the next stage for the first time this year 🙌🏾

This one is a paranormal romance with a succubus who gets tangled up in desire and a human hunter of supernatural beings who falls for her 😘

Oooh I figured it out

This was the time when I really started looking for representation of people who looked like me in games, film, media, etc

I only had anything near a chance in RPGs, or if I wrote my own stories and drew my own characters

I just nostalgia'd so hard outta nowhere I made myself cry and I don't even know why but

This was one of my first RPG games, if not the first

I had no business playing it at like 11 or whatever but I loved the theme song so much I figured out how to play it on the clarinet

Starting to think that bombarding people with content designed to make them ill-informed, angry, and antisocial for hours upon hours a day has been a real disaster for society and possibly not one we can come back from in our lifetimes
