Pinterest is sniffing out AI images, but it can make mistakes. Here's how to appeal Pinterest's "AI Modified" label when incorrectly identified on your book covers.

💬 Monday Reader Question… 💬

Claire thought Noah was just another arrogant coworker. Turns out, he’s got layers.

Ever had a colleague surprise you—in a good way? Let's hear your stories!

Y'all! Come on now. I know this box fit into my mail slot when you shoved it from the back, but how am I supposed to get it out the front? Those additional frames ain't playing. Ugh. 😣

(Finally had to get the hubby to manhandle it and yank it out.)

📚 Women of Caprock is a series of interconnected standalones set in the male-dominated world of oilfield services, where the ratio of men to women employees is 75% to 25%. With even fewer women in management. 📚

🎶 Fellow #Authors, what do y'all listen to when you write? 🎶

I'm curious because I can't do music when I'm writing. I'll get carried away into the song. But I enjoy listening to nature sounds. 🦉 There's something soothing about hearing birds tweeting with a river running in the background.

Anyone else make geometrical designs with their eggs? No? Just me? 🤓

It all started when I lifted the carton from the fridge and almost dropped it because the weight was unevenly distributed. Now that's what I call fun with food! 🥚

Light green background with the words: Code Block (Book 2 of Women of Caprock) Hay, all! Round 2 of blurb possibilities. Which of the following blurbs makes you want to read more? BLURB #3: She's looking for a harassment-free fresh start. He suspects she's a spy. How are they supposed to work together? Light green background with black text surrounded by mauve-colored quote marks. BLURB #4: New city. New job. No complications. At least, that was the plan...

Light green background with text asking book lovers to help decide which blurb for the book Code Block makes you want to read it more. Small graphics of books in the background. Blurb 1: New city. New job. No complications. At least, that was the plan... Light green background color with beginning and ending quotes and the book description for book 1. Blurb 2: She's starting over. He's working on a promotion. Neither has time for complications… Light green background color with beginning and ending quotes and the book description for book 1.

Let me know what you think of this for my tagline (does it make you want to read more?):
❝ New city. New job. Fresh start with no complications. At least that was the plan... ❞

Would love to get your opinions in the comments! ⤵️
