amazon's really pushing for authors to do "virtual voice" audiobooks now, so be careful out there and don't do artists, including audiobook narrators, a disservice by using them

I want to say that I complained a lot about how hard I was finding my book cover but I NEVER considered using AI. I think going through the process and the struggle was valuable both for my respect for artists and the personal journey of creating something I'm not good at. It's ok to be humbled.

This country has a phenomenon called "going to Australia" (as in emigrating to) Where I grew up we had "going to England" Does every place have something similar, I wonder?

I've accidentally put the phrase "the cat's mother" in chapter 1s of both my books and even though both times my American beta readers have been like "what?" I think I might keep it as an inside joke
