Yeah that *was* me checking the BN site every hour from the time you said it was processing, why do you ask?

Just letting you all know that I’m reading @lookninjas’ new book while waiting in line to defeat Kylo Ren and the First Order.

Blurry proof! I’m not sure Kylo and Hux will buy the book, but everyone else should.

Also it’s up on BN, too.

It’s really good so far (like there was any doubt.)

My most Boomer take is that evil should have some fucking dignity.

Took this over to the Work Sib because he got me playing the game, and his response?

“Pass. If he’s a top I will be crushed, and if he’s a bottom I’m going to feel wholly inadequate.”

I cackled so loud everyone outside the office turned to look.

You can fight AI in indie publishing by leaving reviews.

Seriously.

Ai-generated garbage is flooding the self-publishing market. It works as a numbers game- put out ENOUGH fake crap and eventually someone’s aunt will buy them the ebook as an unwanted gift, and you’ll have made two dollars. This tactic works at SCALE, which means real independent titles are now a needle amongst a haystack of slop.

If you have read a book this year that has less than 5 reviews, your rating is an algorithmic spotlight on that needle.

A one sentence review helps. Really. A star rating helps if you really can’t think of anything to say, but if you can muster up even “I laughed at the part about the tabby cat” you are doing indie authors a favor like you cannot believe.

(Also if you left a review on one of my books this year I am kissing you so softly on your forehead and I adore you)

mercy seems like a long shot here, so my prayer for inauguration day 2025: may they be incompetent. may they just be really bad at implementation. may their egos choke their effectiveness. may they drown themselves week by week with infighting and selfish posturing. may they be easily distracted. may the very governors and senators and agencies and religious leaders that the new administration expects to be friendly force endless stalemates to preserve their own power. may every delay turn into a three ring blame circus so chaotic that no one remembers what they were doing. may the good and necessary parts of government be too boring to draw attention and keep running quietly in the background. may the next four years be full of sound and fury and signify nothing.
