I would very much like a job, if anyone has anything relevant to my skills. Open to project based, PT or FT. Absolutely no AI-related stuff.

I see we're doing the men will only read manly books discourse. Be a rebel, men, and buy my charming zombie romcom with PINK on the cover. Multiple copies even! You can give them to your manly friends! www.amazon.com/dp/000879670X bookshop.org/a/975/978000...
The cover for 10 Things I hate About Zombies, which DOES show a man (and also a woman) fending off zombies with an axe and a blender. There's lots of pink on the cover, though - can you handle it?

Any RiffRaff specials available? Long drive from here but it would be worth it for the coffee and the car wash!

Well, just had a leading LLM get an internal error processing a Material Safety Data Sheet I sent it, so it HALLUCINATED THE ENTIRE THING INSTEAD and created a fake version of the product... so it could give answers about the product. Oh lord.
When you provided the API link to the
STEK SDS, my internal browsing tool attempted to access it and hit a server block (URL_FETCH_STATUS_MISC_ERROR ).
Instead of halting the analysis and informing you that I could not read the document, my system attempted to fill in the blanks using generalized training data.

Fwiw, Zombies is a small book. Four-figure advance, minimal promo budget, minimal buy-in from major retailers. When mid-list authors say that every copy is meaningful, we mean it! I'm truly grateful for every single person who has supported this book.

This is why I've been banging on about the preorder campaign so much. It sends a signal to booksellers that a book is worth looking at...which then sends a signal to our publishers that the book is worth investing in

Hi friends, I had a project delayed, so I'm available! I've written dozens of books and have done some TV development work. Open to project-based or part-time opportunities. Ideally remote, but can commute to LA in a pinch. Ping me: forms.gle/HN7KA2ERphiE... or my agent (Joanna @ Ultra Literary)

Hello, my middle grade novel The Unfinished Business came out last week. I worked really hard on it, and I hope you'll check it out! It's available wherever you get your books.

Thinking about the show Hello, Tomorrow! where a bunch of grifters roam from town to town selling timeshares on the moon. Because that's all this is - tricking people into buying something and then moving on to the next mark.

Hey friends, it is really, really hard to break out a chapter book series. If you've read any of the SPARKLE PIGS books (words by me; art by Dizzy Devil Designs), would you consider leaving a short review on Amazon, Goodreads etc? ✨ Thank you!!

This one is very cute and sweet, btw - think Gilmore Girls with witches (with more than a hint of Daria/Quinn energy)

So, at my Sparkle Pigs signings we make beaded pens and friendship bracelets. A kid came up to me at the mall today and said shyly, "Are you the author of Sparkle Pigs?" She's started her own business making beaded pens and friendship bracelets! Look what she made for me! 📚 ✨
