If you think an artist's style looks like AI but you can scroll back through their portfolio and see them doing the same work before 2020, congrats, you're not looking at an AI grifter. You're looking at one of the original victims whose entire style AI stole.

An absolute banger of a book. I am sad that I have to now wait a whole year for the next book in the series. I have had such a good time this year reading so much of this author.

An archaeologist risks everything to stop a disinformation podcaster from using his influence to incite violence. Check out this amazing quote from @victoriadahl.bsky.social! 😍 Available in print, digital, & audiobook October 2nd. preorder: geni.us/FalseFlag #booksky #romancelandia #archaeology

"Rachel Grant has done it again! False Flag, which pulses with emotion and action, is a feminist thriller, a dangerous romance, and a fascinating deep dive into the political and cultural aspects of archeology that few of us have considered. A brave archeologist determined to fight disinformation paired up with a Navy SEAL hoping to prove himself worthy? What more could we ask for? I’m a huge fan of the Evidence: Under Fire series, and this book is yet another great addition.” – Victoria Helen Stone, WSJ bestselling author of Jane Doe
