Can you help with a literary mystery? 🕵️‍♀️

Just found this book in our loft (buying old books from charity shops was my hobby as a kid 🤓). I think the name inside is Lord Leaningham but nothing comes up with internet search. Maybe Bluesky can help?! 🙏

This is bound to be fascinating. 👇 Graham's been a great help with my crime books, sourcing experts to help me. Would definitely recommend getting in touch with him if you need help.

What in the tech bro hell is this?

I’m not an AI hater. I find it fascinating (and yes, scary too!).

But everything about this screams they have NO clue about the real world of publishing. No clue.

Soooooo... a while back, I managed to get some of my backlist back, and today, I took the leap and re-released the first book.

What did I learn? How did I do it? And… will it be worth it? 😬

Well, this is nice, isn’t it? So many familiar faces! I’ll post more tomorrow about what I’ve been doing this week (to sum up: self-publishing a rights-reverted book wide with an add-on ‘buy direct’ offer which has been EXHAUSTING!). In the meantime, sleep well BlueSkybies. 😴
