When a Jewish girl accidentally reawakens an ancient curse over her town, she must fight through mythological nightmares and break the curse before she's torn apart like the demon who start it all.

(CURRENTLY EDITING!)

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

The rise of gen AI, backed at every level by the far-right, suggests the arrival of an _anti-information_ age. AI offers a self-reinforcing bullshit loop that, much like a Russian disinfo operation, serves to muddy the information space and create doubt about the very nature of reality.
Elon Musk's AI platform has been retrained to generate a "both sides" response to whether climate change is a threat. One is the view of science, while the other is fossil fuel industry waffle.

Today's last lines:
The general grabs a tie from the curtain.
“Turn around.”
I lose no time in obeying in case he decides it's more convenient to kill me after all. He secures my wrists together with grim efficiency.

Aaron getting tied up, not even for fun this time. So unfair😭

The Human ambassador bowed, hands behind their back.

The Xturi envoy extended a big, soft paw. "I was told Humans greet with touch?"

"Are Xturi comfortable being touched?"

The Xturi's large, round eyes opened wide. Their thick, silky fur rippled as they laughed.
"We relish touch!"

"Excellent!"

Currently having a blast with the finale of Ash and Roses, rubbing my hands with irrational glee like a Bond villain as I write a 'falling chandelier' bit. Dream scene realized 😈

After a LOT of wrangling with the blurb, I think I finally have the logline for Captive Hearts Book 2: Ash and Roses!

Neil has always been the protector. But this time, I'm going to save him.

Very excited to share the whole novel soon 😁

Last lines written today...

“I let my guard down around you more than anyone. You shatter my defenses completely.”
Aaron looks down, a blush creeping up his cheeks. The poor thing is completely undone by my earnestness.
“Oh. Er… right,” he whispers. “That’s- that's good to know."
