Urja, a part-Phoenix from Mumbai, seeks her mother in NYC. Mistaking her identity, a goblin aids her, his protective gestures evocative of her dead Father. With everyone lusting for her powers, can Urja trust her new friend (with secrets of his own) or will history repeat itself? #DVPit #F #A #POC

Tara, a lowly shapeshifter, masquerades as a porter goblin on the London Underground. Saving a half-dragon child from Mumbai—a walking source of potion ingredients—Tara must now confront her own childhood abuse to protect the kid from upper class vampires, not to mention Tara’s family. #DVPit #F #A

Past tragedy compels Tara to protect a half-dragon child from Mumbai—a walking source of potion ingredients. Now it’s a high-stakes race to find the kid’s dragon mother in NYC before they’re caught by dangerous vampires, but Tara’ll be damned if she can’t save yet another child! #DVPit #F #A #POC

Tara’s sister died for her clan’s ambitions. At 18, Tara aids a half-dragon child from Mumbai—a walking source of potion ingredients—enraging a vampire. Now they’re on the run from the very beasts Tara was always taught to fear, but she’ll be damned if she can’t save yet another child! #DVPit #F #A

Whatever you do, please don’t stop reading. Read for joy. Read for education. Read for resistance. Read banned books. Read books by marginalized authors. Read about experiences that differ from your own. Just. Keep. Reading.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

baekdal.com/strategy/the... reminds me of the slate long tail article. Although this article focuses on journalism, novelists experience similar problems. The end of tyrannical scale chasing would be a positive, but what new paradigm would best serve both readers and writers?

The future trend around not having social traffic at scale

Social media traffic has been at the center of most publishers' strategy for more than a decade... so what happens when it goes away?

companies programmed us to refer to art, music, video, and writing as "content" to make it seem like it comes from the website and not from a person who had to think of it and make it
