While human cloning is illegal now, one day it might not be; it might be a luxury. Or a necessity. Which is what happens in Mary G. Thompson's new #SciFi #horror novel "Precious Children." To find out why, and more, check out this exclusive interview. paulsemel.com/exclusive-in... 📖👶👶👶

I finished @marygthompson.bsky.social's Precious Children today. I couldn't put it down! Clones, shared bodies, creepy kids, dysfunctional families, dysfunctional societies. It made me wonder about my own parenting in the best possible way.

Precious Children novel by Mary G. Thompson. 9 blond boy doll heads look creepy on the cover. The one in the center has light radiating from the crown of his head.

Every time I see a writer post something positive about LLMs, or admit to using them, I literally fall out of my chair, wail in despair, and stab myself in the eye with a ballpoint pen. I don't want to know that these people exist.

There’s a fabulous solution for this “problem,” which I explore in my forthcoming novel, Precious Children! It’s cloning rich people thousands of times! And absolutely nothing goes wrong.

This isn’t getting enough attention. Bad look for @sfwa.org. And a big deal for an organization that should know better. I’ve seen the jargon about committees & board decisions & 🙄, but the correct decision is credit the visual storytellers with the script writers. NOW. Not after losing credibility.
