Authors, Beware! There's a firm called "ClaimsHero" doing aggressive social media outreach claiming to
"help" you file to get $ in the Anthropic class action. In fact, it's a bait-and-switch, they are luring authors to sign up with them, then OPTING THEM OUT of the class action so they'll get zilch.

I feel like this could actually become a very famous piece of writing. Or maybe I just think it should. It’s amazing, it makes me think about the things that bring me joy and about the meaning of wealth, and it applies to many more people than Elon Musk.

Joyce Carol Oates said what everyone’s been thinking and did it with elegance.

Not an hour goes by that I don’t think about the people being held at Broadview. In Chicago and the suburbs, the ICE thugs beat up, tear gas, and pepper spray people—old people, toddlers, many U.S. citizens—literally every day. It’s rarely in the news.
I never say this, but please pray for us.

For those still being held in the area, conditions are horrific. Attorneys for some of the hundreds of detainees held in a processing facility in suburban Broadview, Illinois, say their clients are being held under conditions that violate the most basic human rights.

I’ve preordered HER TIME TRAVELING DUKE by Bryn Donovan! I loved HER KNIGHT AT THE MUSEUM and I am very excited for a time traveling sequel! It’s coming out December 9th! ✨
I am such a sucker for the end of The Christmas Carol where Scrooge is flipping out in a good way. I have similar vibes in a scene in my book HER KNIGHT AT THE MUSEUM, and in a different way, in the sequel, HER TIME TRAVELING DUKE! 🥰 🎄

Some Heroes Don't Wear Capes. This past week the crew from A Safe Haven planted almost 140,000 bulbs along Chicago's Michigan Avenue. One of my favorite moments is hearing people driving by and saying "thank you" to workers. We'll see the results of their work in 6 months!

I was accused of not supporting free speech because I wouldn't edit an AI assisted "manuscript." Girl, you already suppressed your own speech 😂

I am going to volunteer at our local library in the new year and I am really excited about it! My first job ever was working in a library—32 hours a week, my junior and senior year of high school. I loved working there. 🥰

I used to wonder how people in Germany pretended that there wasn’t a concentration camp in their backyard. Now Broadview is in mine, and I still don’t understand it. This is exactly the kind of thing I thought was happening in there, from the beginning.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Per @authorsabb.bsky.social, election night was BAD…for people who like to ban books! 🥳🎉
"Freedom to Read" candidates swept school board elections in Pennsylvania, Virginia, Texas, Kansas, and everywhere else in the country. 🇺🇸📚
