Any other authors getting an influx of book promotion scam emails lately? Got one today from an Vegan social group asking me to pay a fee to feature my book… And the email was clearly written by ChatGPT. Nice try, but no thanks.

@marilock.bsky.social is one of my favorite writers, and I'm biased, because she's also one of my favorite people, but she'd still be one of my favorite writers even if I didn't know her at all
