Libraries purchase books. When you see a book at the library, it isn’t “free”
the library bought it.
which in turn means that the community bought it.
In other words, library books are not lost sales for authors and publishers; they’re positive sales. Active sales. Those are bought.

Wow. Along with the awful covers and the attitudes towards romance, they think they can monetize/dictate fanfiction. Um, no?
Speaking of 831stories. I saw this on threads and thought I should share because I am not only a professional author, I am also a fanfic writer. And this is a publisher, a creator, trying to control and profit from fanfic.
This is predatory and disgusting.

For those that missed the news, I slipped and fractured my back. I was already struggling financially when this happened. I started up a Gofundme to cover my medical expenses and monthly bills. I still need $200 or so to cover my internet/phone this month. gofund.me/73a3f6eec

Finished reading my first historical romance in months- I picked up Mary Lancaster's "Haunted" as a freebie during Dragonblade's Halloween event. Sweet novella about a widow and a visiting officer staying at her house... and a ghost that looks like her late husband.

James Bond a la Red with all the "retired" 00s.
Some Hollywood MBA dweeb is going to pitch an idea where they bring all the Bonds back (even using CGI to resurrect Connery) and say “It’s like 007 meets The Avengers!”

Baltimore has SO MANY gorgeous historic buildings and many (most?) of them are not as well cared-for as this one was before tonight. We're not sure what to say other than to be CAREFUL this fire season, and that careful & sustainable historic preservation matters
