It's been a year since I unpublished the kindle version of my books. I'm now contemplating removing my print titles from amazon distribution as well. It's a hard step to take, but the reality is that change won't happen until we leave certain platforms in droves: Meta, Amazon, Google, etc.
Emma Scott FaceBook post 3 days ago (would have been 10/02/26)

So here's a fun twist in the AI slop-filled wasteland that the literary market is fast running headfirst into. I didn't write this series. No one did-it's entirely AI-generated slop. Somehow this ended up on my Amazon listings pages AND on my Author Central which is where authors manage their titles behind the scenes. 
I've contacted Amazon and I've gone into my AC page and changed the books' descriptions from plot synopses to notices that basically read: this crap isn't mine, don't buy it. The updates will take a while to show, but hopefully by then, Amazon will have take them down anyway. I'm changing my passwords to KDP, AC, and Amazon itself, but this happened because the entire goddamn industry is run by bots. There no button for me to push on AC that says, "This is not my book" but anyone can use an author's name and attach a book or books to their account because the bots are too stupid to know the difference. 
So now there is a new AI menace where authors, completely unbeknownst to them, can have someone else generate bullshit books and use that author's name or platform to leech off of. It's bad enough the slop exists at all, but what if I hadn't seen this? I could end up on an "author who uses AI" list and then what? 
AI sloppers are now not only profiting from work and craft they never bothered to learn or work at, but can slap a real author's name on their "books" and reap the profits. 
Authors, check your AC. Since these books have sold little to nothing, they weren't high on my AC books list. I found them by total accident. I don't even want to think about what it would have looked like if they had somehow hit a list or generated some attention.

Subject: I Put Together a Trailer for Faery Sight

Hi Patricia,
The supernatural mystery surrounding the land of Faerie in Faery Sight really stood out to me. The mix of magic, mystery, and the faerie world gives the story a strong visual feel.
I put together a short trailer for Faery Sight because I thought that world would work well visually. There’s no upfront cost to review it. Would you like to see it?

"The faery realm she creates feels refreshingly intimate. As Bossano describes it, the fascinating faery dimension ‘might be around the corner, between the pages of a book, or in one’s own blood.’ This closeness transforms the reading experience into something almost tactile." - RW Magazine

Matriarchs of old handed down to me their ancestral blood-magic and fated me to distill a meaning of our daily strife. Bedeviled by it, I prick my heart with the tip of a quill to fill blank pages with dreamlike ponderings, offering naught but an escape, or a vision of what could be... For there glimmers a freeing light in every heartfelt mindscape on the moonlit path.

Different roles, same fight. I couldn’t walk out today, but I'm with all of you who can. #FreeAmericaWalkout 💙 www.freeameri.ca
USA in distress (American flag upside down) 
How? Let's start here:
US population is 340+ million
172+ million are women
* I am a Hispanic woman * First generation born in the U.S. to immigrant parents * I am a survivor of sexual abuse * Biological mother of 2, and step-mother to 2, adult children * Grandmother to 3 toddlers * Divorced, currently in an interracial marriage * Self-employed * 
Millions of us are Under Attack. 
The current regime is bent on dehumanizing, persecuting, and killing immigrants, they’re actively threatening denaturalization and birthright citizenship.
The president himself is an adjudicated rapist, credibly accused of pedophilia.
Women’s bodily autonomy, access to health/gender affirming care, our ability to make our own reproductive decisions, marriage equality, the survival of our small businesses,  and our right to vote,  are all under attack by this lawless administration. 
(Patricia Bossano author pic)We demand freedom to move. Every person has the right to seek safety, love, and a better life across borders without the threats of walls or cages.
We demand an end to the kidnappings by ICE, investigations into and full accountability for the extra judicial killings of immigrants and US citizens, and a freeze on funding toward the abolition of ICE. 

We demand care and respect for the planet. We all need clean air, fresh water, and a living earth. We must stop selling off the planet and our communities to big polluters, corporations, and data centers. 

We demand a genuine democracy that lives through fair votes, free speech, and the right to gather and dissent without fear. And that ultimately puts the people and planet over profit and allows our communities to live and thrive.We demand the right to our own bodies, including control over our reproductive decisions, gender-affirming care, and the right to build our own families free from fear and from laws used as weapons.

We demand justice for survivors of gender based violence, including and especially for those harmed by the wealthy and powerful who are often held unaccountable.

We demand peace and justice. Our labor shouldn’t fund bombs or unilateral invasions to other countries to grow the wealth of corporations and billionaires. Our tax dollars should build homes, schools, and hospitals, not cages or wars. Peace is a people’s right, not a privilege.

We demand truth in learning. Schools must teach the full story of our people and our past, and support the leadership of young people.We demand a Free America where MAGA’s purges and power grabs end, the law applies equally, and the freedoms promised in the Constitution, to speak, write, gather, protest, and live free from tyranny and military occupation, belong to all of us, not just the powerful few.

We demand an economy that honors our labor and our lives by providing fair, living wages, dignified work conditions, and the power to make decisions in our workplaces. All people should have food, shelter, transport, rest, and enough joy to live and grow.

We demand home and health for all. Everyone deserves a safe, affordable, and lasting place to live, close to kin and roots, and care that is fair, near, and within reach.

Happy #Hanukkah to those who celebrate 💙 Utopia is a premature truth no longer! “We learned about honesty and integrity - that the truth matters... that you don't take shortcuts or play by your own set of rules... and success doesn't count unless you earn it fair and square.” —Michelle Obama
8 hands, one on top of the other.

INTEGRITY
