Coming on here does feel like shouting into the void, but shout I shall, so here goes: I'm a UK-based author of crime novels. Six to date, with a seventh on its way. Currently working on book number eight. Feel free to get in touch for a chat about anything book related...
Covers of the Denning and Fisher UK-based crime book series by author Graeme Hampton.

I'm delighted to say that I have chosen and will be introducing three episodes of a forgotten 1970s TV masterpiece at this year's Hastings TV Festival at the Electric Palace cinema in the old town on Thursday 9th October, one in the morning and two in the evening.

I'm not on here much (maybe it's just a growing disillusionment with social media in general...🤨). Unfortunately I can no longer access the 'chat' facility unless I agree to dontate what's left of my soul to Satan...😐, which isn't going to happen. But if you 'tweet me/poke me', I will reply.

Thank you so much, @societyofauthors.bsky.social for this positive action on the Meta AI shocker. Let’s do this. 👍👍👍
Full details via the link below.

Meta protest: take action On Thursday 3 April, 1:30pm, a group of SoA members and staff will be meeting at Granary Square, close to Meta UK London headquarters, to deliver our letter and make our voices heard. To mark the occasion, we encourage members to share the SoA’s social media activity on the day. More details to follow next week. Meta Takeover: On 3 April, we want to flood Meta with our objections. Please post on Facebook, Instagram and Threads and encourage others to do the same to show your support. You will be able to download social media graphics, which can also be used as temporary profile pictures, from our website next week. Sign the open letter to Lisa Nandy, Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, which you can find here. Involving the UK government is vital. The endangerment of protection for authors’ works is based on what is or is not permitted under UK law (see What else the SoA is doing, below). Write to Meta. To find out if your books are in the LibGen dataset, you can search here. This will not tell you whether they have been used by Meta, but it is alleged that Meta downloaded the whole dataset to train its model. For a belt and braces approach, send a letter to Meta and other AI companies stating they do not have the right to use your books. You can use the Authors Guild of America’s model template. Also alert your publisher and agent if you have one. Write to your local MP. We must keep pressure on government at this crucial time to safeguard creative rights. The Creative Rights in AI Coalition (CRAIC) has an email form here. (If you hear back from your MP, let us know). Sign the Statement on AI training

Finally wrote to my MP and completed the consultation survey on copyright & AI. I’ve had it on my to do list for ages. If you’re concerned about the implications of the governments proposals on writers (I very definitely am!) then the deadline to have your say is next week.

If I've understood this correctly, the government want to destroy our copyright protections in order to allow the 'AI' sector to grow. They do realise that growth won't be in the UK, right? These big tech companies are leaches on the UK economy in the main. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

As a huge lover of audiobooks, getting the audio version of The List of Suspicious Things right - ESPECIALLY the accents - was so so important to me. I’m so lucky to have worked with the most amazing team at Penguin audiobooks & now it’s in the best crime & thriller audiobooks of the year! #booksky

The List of Suspicious Things by @jenniegauthor.bsky.social has been holding a special place in my heart throughout the year. A beautiful debut that is packed with nostalgia, community & heartwarming friendship that’ll keep you smiling throughout. It’s an absolute masterpiece. (Perfect Xmas gift 😉)
