Can confirm as both a migraine sufferer and a huge fan of these books! Imagine a queer D&D adventure where you take a dose of LSD and wait for it to kick in as you venture into the unknown

Did Cromwell ban Christmas? youtube.com/shorts/g5ZDW...

Just came across the umpteenth reviewer who once wrote decent reviews but has now hopped onto the slop train (for at least a year). Authors, please vet your reviewers or you might end up with someone who feeds your books into the slop machine for their "reviews". #WritingCommunity #IndieAuthors

Nothing today!! #HelpSky 💕💸

I think I speak for all authors when I urge you to be more David in your approach to life, Christmas and everything

Albeit I'm [un]officially on reviewing break, here is one recommendation for your Christmas reading list. If you love murder mysteries and are either neurospicy or enjoy novel with neurospicy characters, you absolutely should read this. I loved it! 5⭐ No notes. Need more. -- #BookReview 👀📚💙📚🌎📚🌈

*sigh* Can we just NOT? On the other hand, it's light on my budget if I can't buy 70% of books and games any longer because some pea-brains decide that using AI is "the shit". Yes bro, it is shit, utter shit even. Just drop the 'the'. I'm not buying ANY AI slop. Fuck that! #FuckAI 🖕

Do not let yourself be defeated by the AI slop flooding the book market, do not give up your unique, beautiful stories because at the end of the day, AI slop is just that, and human readers crave human stories and art. Sail through the slop like the fcking badass pirate that you are.

I suppose I have a new fan (some AI fan person) who has no other hobby than adding me to defamatory blocklists. Allegedly I'm now a supporter of various right wing nutjobs. Who knew.🙃 This is your reminder to check what blocklists you're subscribing to. Some people really have lost their marbles.

Mystery solved: Checked my Kindle Content. The book had an update available (why the bloody hell books don't update automatically if one has 'automatic update' enabled is beyond me). It is indeed 'skin a fish' and not 'sink a fish'. At least that won't be another thing keeping me awake tonight.

I don't know who needs to read a book about menopausal women who quietly poison bad men who hurt women and children, but if you do, it's out for ARC readers right now. Forbidden Tea comes out at the end of January - and Book 2, Widow's Biscuit, has 7.5K written. Link in pinned. You can't miss it.

This not only looks like a good time, but gives me a weird parasocial pride to see Juno Birch up there in lights. Aw, I remember her back when she spent all her time burning Joy Desprets to death. ❤️

If you wanna treat this birthday girl, you can buy me a coffee!! ko-fi.com/beverlyannem...

I wager my best bet - and most reliable one - is to ask @michellefranklin.bsky.social to shed some light on this obscurity.

I need some help with an oddity I ran across in a book: 'She was able to sink a fish in thirty seconds.' I beg your pardon? Can anyone explain the phrase 'to sink a fish' to me? I've never heard that one in my life and my attempts to find anything helpful on the internet were completely in vein.

Fly up! Fly up! We have a new Wyvern Den post from @kiraofthewind.com on The Envoys of War by @dlawsonauthor.bsky.social. Check out all the ways this book stood out! grimoireinkreviews.wordpress.com/2025/12/21/e...

This is massively disappointing. I love E33, but I won't defend Gen AI usage. They were right to be disqualified.

🌟 Sunday Spotlight 🌟 A bite-sized horror short story with almost cozy vibes and...wholesome? Only @bookspotlight.bsky.social can pull that off!  #booksky

We made it! 🎉 Don't forget, the free sale is still on today and tomorrow!

All set to virtually attend MG Mason's @chaoticauthor.online funeral. 🖤 I fully expect to break apart during the livestream. Good thing it's virtual attendance. Good thing technology makes it possible, otherwise I wouldn't be able to. I also wish I did not have to. This is going to be brutal...😭

It's the story of three brothers who go to war over the imperial throne. It's a story of an empire built on lies. It's now out in paperback. From me and @profgabriele.com. Buy one for your friends. Two for your enemies. Gift-giving/revenge solved! www.harpercollins.com/products/oat...

CW dick content (illustrated) Alright, can we talk a moment about that cozy turtle neck picture? I can't... 🥰😂 Also, aside from decent advice for drawing dicks - as far as I can tell, but I'm no artist -, this is also educational advice for everybody who needs additional sex ed regarding dicks.

For those who haven't heard, from January 2026 (20th, iirc) onwards one will be able to download all DRM-free books from Amazon. Allegedly for "easier accessibility on different e-readers". I have my doubts. 🤨 Either they're trying to rope customers back in or someone slapped their wrists. 🤔 👀📚💙

Day 4 of my WYVERN review for @dlawsonauthor.bsky.social's The Envoys of War! E is for ETHOS. What is the overall vibe and feeling of the setting as a character? What do these characters *believe* in? Think D&D with Good-aligned heroes

So tempted to quote-post each piece of this thread. It articulates much better than I could one of the really demoralizing aspects of publishing as it now stands. It also reminded me of an interview with a trad-pubbed author that I read a few years ago (I don't remember the author--if someone does

2025 was pretty rough for most of us. But you're still here, bro. "But I didn't achieve my goals" Maybe not, but working toward them is never a waste. The things you managed to do, work on, learn, and create is plenty of an achievement. Give yourself some credit. You did your best. You did great.

Case in point, I just read a spicy Christmas story which in and by itself was perfectly fine. A nice, quick, spicy read with charming characters. But someone - might have been the editor and not the author (ref. acknowledgements) - clearly used AI for editing. Result: AI-speak all over the place.😫

PUBLICATION DAY GIVEAWAY! A Scottish island SciFi mystery Third Loch From the Sun is out as an audiobook today! I have 2 FREE audiobook codes up for grabs - comment & share this post by 18.00 GMT today, 18 Dec, to be in the draw. Good luck! 💙📚🪐 #BookSky #SciFi #audiobook #giveaway #romcom

The other day I found a book (that claims to base on research & historical facts), which in and by itself might be a good book (some people I trust read it and said it is) but, it's blurb is 100% genAI slop. As long as nobody fixes that blurb I won't go anywhere near that book. HELL NO! #FuckAI 🖕

Someone clearly isn't capable of reading the room🤦 My advice, free of charge: Easiest way to publish and not shoot yourself in the foot? Do NOT use AI. Easiest way to keep the workflow up? Write. Take a walk. Read a book. Watch a movie. Play a game. Braincell killer AI ain't it, folks. #FuckAI 🖕

Just a brief holiday reminder that if you are donating to the Salvation Army you are funding their anti LGBTQ+ Policies. Not to mention during the 4 weeks I was homeless w/ 4 children the head of their shelter here in Spokane told me to have my Doctor LIE about my dog being a service dog. And then
