The AI generated scam emails from nonexistent book groups (that try to extract some sort of fee) and phony book marketing/promotion ‘experts’, both trying to scam vulnerable authors, are out of control. The sheer number I receive daily is nuts.
AI generation makes them un-filterable.

That whole "be the change you wish to see in the world" is a message that can happen person by person—and flower by flower. Yesterday a stranger gave me flowers and a reminder of hope. I'd like to share this bouquet with you today.

This cozy fantasy romance about a new king and his bodyguard? NOT COZY ANYMORE. Now they are tackling a corrupt regime and the tagline is "The King is dead. Long Live the King."
SO. Guess this is my next big writing project. I wanted it to be a standalone, but who knows at this point.

Four years ago today, I lost the manuscript to the book I was writing. It was a devastating blow. Here, I write about how I picked myself up and started again.

What Do You Do If You Lose Your Manuscript?
It’s every author’s nightmare. You finish writing for the night, save your manuscript to the cloud and go to bed. But when you wake up and turn on your computer the next morning, the file has gone.

The worst part of being a self pub author is the marketing. I hate it so much. I'm no good at it.

Do you like Arthurian retellings?
I wrote an Arthurian book that follows Arthur and Guinevere's children 20 years after Arthur's death. It has themes of finding out who you are, living up to expectations, and has lots of adventure, magic, and ren faire vibes. Available anywhere books are sold :)

I love gray, rainy fall days, but my SADD does not. I am always super depressed when it rains. Ugh. Stupid depression
