Bisexual stories 🌈📚 often disappear in the algorithms that decide our place in search engines and marketplaces.
Time again for a thread to share #books, #novels and #poetry by #bi writers, or about bi stories, or with bi characters!

I just finished this one and can only recommend it! I hadn't read any of the Order of the Strawberry Circle stories before, and I didn't have to. Had me engaged all the way to the end! Went through it in one sitting 😁

A horror book to read in summer!

Join smalltown graveyard keeper Sven and his opinionated ghost dog, Fi, on a summer night night journey when they investigate what's causing the faces of the dead to appear on the cemetery trees.

A promo graphic for Rotten Roots: An Order of the Strawberry Circle Short Story by Susanne Schmidt The background is dark gray, showing the black silhouettes of trees, and the vaguely transparent silhouette of a red dog (the book's main character has a ghost dog friend). A modern white font says "Come out and play." above the cover for Rotten Roots displayed on an e-reader. The Rotten Roots cover itself features a drawing by Susanne Schmidt showing strange, glowing pink-and-blue flowers blossoming from a twisting, viney plant that is growing toward an open door. Behind the door is only a yellow-greenish light that seems as ominous as the plant overgrowing the foreground.

Made a timelapse of my book cover for Rotten Roots - Sketch to finished cover.

Big Thank You to my husband who made some custom music for the video. He's calling it Fi's Theme.

When I tried to upload my sketch-to-final-cover video for Rotten Roots two weeks ago, my husband noticed I was struggling to find a piece of music for it. I said I wanted "something like stranger things". Amazing guy that he is, he made "Fi's theme".

Sound on, y'all. 💜

Most of the conent I write on my newsletter is evergreen. Here's a piece from 2023 where author @anyakjordan.bsky.social and I collaborated to discuss friendship and found family in relation to representation in film, tv, and literature, as well as at the end of one's life.
Young Hearts Run Free: Friends, the Found Family — Weaver's Deep Thoughts
In this edition, we're going to deep dive into friendships. I say we, because I have special guest thinker, author Anya K. Jordan along for the ride. But first… a milestone.

The singularity is awesome
Google search for “all you can eat buffet near me” Al Overview To find an all-you-can-eat buffet near you, you can use online search engines like Google or Yelp, specifying "all you can eat buffet near me". These searches will typically provide a list of nearby restaurants offering buffet-style dining, including their addresses, contact information, and customer reviews. You can also refine your

i keep cracking up at this post on AI writing
A reddit post: "Why does my erotica writing AI keep defaulting to yoga and gratitude?" Text: I’m trying to write steamy romance, not a self-help book on conscious breathing. Every time the story’s about to get physical, the AI derails into something like: “They paused to reflect on their emotional journey and honor the connection between their bodies.” Like… NO. That’s not what we were building up to. Yesterday, the characters stopped mid flirt to recommend deep breathing exercises and partner yoga. It’s like the AI turns into a wellness coach the moment the tension peaks. Anyone else run into this? How do you keep the AI from shifting tone so hard? Looking for tools or strategies that actually let the heat build without detouring through a spiritual retreat.

After discovering the covers of my books were created by AI, I am pleased to announce the cover for The Rage of a Boy has been re-done (and the cover for the upcoming sequel is in progress) by the amazing @rachelbowdler.bsky.social!

So that now makes Lena McDonald, KC Crowne and Rania Faris leaving ChatGPT prompts in their ‘books’.

I’m so fucking tired, guys. If you don’t write, you’re not a writer. It’s that simple. Stop doing this to your readers, who PAY.

Readers and authors deserve better than this. 📚💙
You know what? I’m totally not surprised when an author who has used AI generated slop in their marketing/cover, forgets to delete the chatgbt response in her manuscript. I am however surprised that Rania is blaming it on her “beta reader”. What a fucking shame. I discovered a post on Threads of someone claiming K. C. Crowne uses AI and shared this screenshot (the pic is not mine, it was posted by OP)

Of the books named on this reading list, Brit Bennet, Isabel Allende, Andy Weir, Taylor Jenkins Reid, Min Jin Lee, Rumaan Alam, Rebecca Makkai, Maggie O'Farrell, Percival Everett, and Delia Owens' titles are all books that DO NOT EXIST!!!

See Alt Text for more detail.

An image of a page from the Chicago Sun Times titled, "Summer reading list for 2025" with an image of a woman sitting on a porch, perhaps, beside a body of water, reading. It's beige as fuck. Above the title is a row of icons that invoke summer, I guess. The article itself is too long to reproduce, BUT, only five of the fifteen books listed here as titles you should read are actually real. Brit Bennett doesn't have a book titled Hurricane Season. The fuck? Isabel Allende has no book named Tidewater Dreams. The Last Algorithm by Andy Weir, The Collector's Piece by Taylor Jenkins Reid, Nightshade Market by Min Jin Lee, The Longest Day by Rumaan Alam, Boiling Point by Rebecca Makkai, Migrations by Maggie O'Farrell, The Rainmakers by Percival Everett, and Salt and Honey by Delia Owens are all books that DO NOT EXIST!!!
