You know what would **really** disrupt the publishing industry?
Fair contracts and decent pay for authors.
No AI training without the creator’s consent.
Artists and translators on the cover.
No NDAs for ghostwriters.

Wise words - particularly as I'm trying to madly follow people back...
You know how we're all madly following each other at the moment? Just a quick note of caution. A few weeks ago I got chatting to Famous McAuthorpants on another platform. It was a nice chat & her profile seemed legit but it turned out to be scammers. Be careful out there x

By way of introduction here’s a few books that I enjoyed ( in no particular order)
I was totally immersed in the world of #IceTown the new Will Dean
I’ve been #TeamTuva since the very first book and it was great to be back with her in this wonderfully tense and atmospheric thriller. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
