From the SFWA (I'm a member)

This is the link they included; 13 of my books are listed: www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...
Screenshot of an email SFWA members were encouraged to share widely, which reads in part: "This summer, SFWA and other members of the Authors Coalition of America (ACA) have been involved in legal proceedings against Anthropic AI, which was trained on books downloaded from pirate websites. The good news for authors is that Anthropic is now going to trial so the court can determine the amount of damages they will be liable for because of their use of our pirated books. The court has decided this is not fair use, and a class-action lawsuit is now underway. SFWA is now being subpoenaed for contact information from past and present members. This data will be used by lawyers to contact potential participants who fit the definition for this class-action lawsuit, so they can receive monetary damages. You can find a partial list of pirated books used for Anthropic AI here."

Just a little something to celebrate having a book ready to go to the next stage for the first time this year 🙌🏾

This one is a paranormal romance with a succubus who gets tangled up in desire and a human hunter of supernatural beings who falls for her 😘

5 years ago, I self-published my debut urban fantasy novel, Elemental

Since then it's won several awards and I published over a dozen more books set in the world of Otherside 🤯

Thanks to the readers who gave Arden a chance, and kept on reading 💙

It is never the day and I am NEVER the one to pitch with AI trash

I don't want anything to do with it. I don't want my work run through any generative AI platforms. I don't want to work with scammers and frauds who use it in their process.

I value HUMAN effort, skill, and creativity.
Excerpt from a cold pitch sent to my contact form: "I create cinematic book trailers using AI — no crew, fast turnaround. Perfect for launches, social media, or promo boosts. Here’s an example I made entirely with AI:"

Hi if you're an author who is concerned about generative AI and the theft it represents, please let BookBub know because it looks like they're the next ones thinking to try it 😡

Text of an email received from BookBub: "We're surveying our community to learn how authors are thinking about generative AI in relation to their writing, research, book marketing, or other business operations, and we would be grateful for your participation. This technology is controversial, and we know it can bring up strong and complicated emotions. Because of this, we think it's important to hear directly from you, our partners. Our goal with this (completely anonymous) survey is to learn how authors are currently feeling about generative AI, and to understand how and in what ways it's being adopted and applied. We're all navigating the rapid developments in AI technology together, and we hope that by gathering and sharing these insights, we can help everyone in the publishing industry figure out how to navigate decisions around this technology in our own businesses."
