Also, I'm wondering how AI is going to screw us as authors at audible with this royalty model.

Hey, #authors -- if you have #books on Audible, here's a good breakdown of the new royalty model which I think feels like it will not help less-known authors and will instead limit their royalties. However, authors who want to keep their stuff on the platform don't have a choice.

I've been #reading this series because I love mysteries set in different historical eras. This one is set during WWII. #Books So far, it's been well-written and provides nice background context and settings. www.penguinrandomhouse.com/series/MHP/m... What's everybody else reading?

you think it's a coincidence that the most evil and corrupt people alive want you to believe that trans people are the real problem?

1/ #Books talk. Finished up a mystery allegedly set in 1920s London. Characters and storyline were okay, but setting--I had no sense at all that this was set in the 1920s except for references to WWI. Barely any interaction with tech of the time or cultural references to help ground a reader.

And damn, TV has changed since then. Forensic Files had no issues showing crime scene photos of a full-on dead person (usually murdered), nothing blurred. Fuuuuuck.

Was watching original episodes of Forensic Files, with cases from the 70s and 80s and I was all, "If I went back to then right now, I'd totally be able to survive because I freaking lived it once!" Give me a paper map and a rotary phone, bitchez!

Cis people do not understand how much trans people's rights have regressed in just 5 years. 5 years ago, there were none of these restrictions. 19 states banned legal recognition 21 states have bathroom bans 8 states ban gender marker changes on DLs 25 ban gender affirming care for trans youth

Y'all, fuck book bans. My solution--get physical copies of banned books to share, especially if censorship-laden authoritarians are banning them from your school libraries. Pool your resources and create private libraries to make sure there's access to them. arkansasadvocate.com/2026/07/30/a...

I watched Harry Potter films back in the day. As soon as I found out about rowling's heinous-ness, I stopped. I don't even put them on as background when I'm cooking or cleaning. I suppose there are arguments to be made about "separating art from artist," but not for me.

Absolutely this. Any email solicitation should be considered a scam. It's relatively easy to figure it out once you see a few. So any book-related emails you get from a "famous author"--especially from a generic email platform like gmail--is a scam.

Here, she's standing at a checkout line in a store holding several US dollars in her left hand while with her right hand, she swoops dollar bills toward the cashier. The text says "Take My Money." As an aside, she's wearing a buckskin fringed leather jacket. The cashier is a young white man with very short hair and a young woman looks on smiling.

Let's get this party started! A DEADLY ENTANGLEMENT (9/15 from @minotaurbooks.bsky.social ) is a solid fit for #SapphicSeptember. See what Margot and Rett are up to next! tinyurl.com/ADeadlyEntan... #historical #crime #queerfiction #WLW And though it isn't shelved as a romance, there is this.... 😉
Margot stepped in front of Shiloh and slowly buttoned her shirt, letting her fingertips brush the other woman’s chest.
Shiloh swallowed hard, blue eyes focused on Margot. “When will Bascom be here for you?”
“Less than an hour. Unfortunately.” Margot reached the top button and affixed the collar. She took the tie from her arm and looped it around Shiloh’s neck. “Which is why you are being buttoned up and not undone.”
“Oh, you have undone me, Margot.”
