Writers, beware - these literary scams have mushroomed in recent months. The scammers are very patient and their messages can be fairly sophisticated. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/25/b...

You know what would **really** disrupt the publishing industry? Fair contracts and decent pay for authors. No AI training without the creator’s consent. Artists and translators on the cover. No NDAs for ghostwriters.

By way of introduction here’s a few books that I enjoyed ( in no particular order) I was totally immersed in the world of #IceTown the new Will Dean I’ve been #TeamTuva since the very first book and it was great to be back with her in this wonderfully tense and atmospheric thriller. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Small Robots @smolrobots.bsky.social · 04/10/2024

Would you like to order a little picture of a robot? I'm offering commissions of existing robots in a new style that can use as icons for stuff or whatever you like! Prices start at £20 per picture. Contact me on here if you're interested.

Teabot - a robot in the form of a mug of tea with little tracks on either side - rolling up next to a stack of books with covers in different colours. The books are The Sign of the Four, Guards! Guards!, Feet of Clay, and A Study in Scarlet. The scene is against a background of a turquoise circle.

Snakebot - a robot in the form of a snake, with a long, banded body and a little sphere on its tail - coiled up around itself, sticking out its forked tongue and looking kind of angry, against a background of a grey square.

Crabbot - a robot in the form of a little crab with banded arms and legs and mitten-like claws - rearing up and holding its arms in the air angrily. The background is a grey circle.

Bigbot, viewed from below, stomping along. The background is a pinkish rectangle and Bigbot seems to be smashing its way out, as one side of it is fragmented into pieces where it's been kicked.
