This is the most important distinction imo. Like the software is not that exceptionally capable, it's the totally unhinged and inappropriate levels of trust people have placed in it that is really dangerous.

And apparently my phone’s camera liked the two together so much it got carried away with the colour saturation.

They look lovely together. I wonder, will there be a matching edition of The Magician’s Apprentice?

One of the first posts I made in Bluesky was of the French omnibus edition of the Black Magician Trilogy. Here is the sequel, the Traitor Spy Trilogy, with an equally magical cover.

What an adventure this #Anthropicsettlement is. Five days of scurrying about hunting for contracts and photographing old printed ones, I sign back in to find my corrections are gone and I can’t upload anything. Are publishers having as much trouble with it?

Filling in the census today, I typed too quickly and entered ‘publishiting’ as the industry I work in. So glad I caught that one! #unintentionallyfunnytypos

One of my readers in #Australia accidentally got two print copies of CAULDRON BORNE, the 5th book of the #WalkerPapers. Does anybody need one? It's brand new and everything, and she's hoping she can find somebody local (ie, on the same continent) who'd like a copy. :)

Saddened to hear of the passing of #RussellKirkpatrick, New Zealand born fantasy writer and lovely guy. A geologist and cartographer, he made a map of his books’ world of exquisite detail and geological plausibility, that would unroll to span a room at con panels.

For a fiction author there can be no glory so great, no award so gleaming, no praise that so warms the heart, as unsolicited fan art

Let's be clear about something: any editor who runs an author's work through an "AI detector" is using the same technology they're supposedly trying to avoid. Furthermore, they're feeding that author's work -- w/o permission -- to the same companies that have probably already stolen earlier work.

Power was out this morning so we tackled moving the last few year’s worth of fiction purchases from piles on the floor to bookshelves. While reviewing what is on the shelves.

I mention this because I was getting weird looks at the front desk of a clinic on Thursday and didn’t work out why until I saw the news that night.

I’d just like to say… I am not related to Matt Canavan, though possibly there’s a link on some very distant branch of the family tree. #australianpolitics #unfortunatesamelastname

Does my next novel have a fabulous cover that I can finally reveal to the world? WHY YES IT DOES THANK YOU FOR ASKING. To be released March 2026 and you can pre-order it here: www.harpercollins.com.au/978103892277...

The cover of 'What the Bones Know' by Kirstyn McDermott. The image is a green-tinged night scene of the front of a house seen at a distance through trees. One window shines with a yellow glow. In the foreground the ghostly, transparent figure of a young girl drifts close to the edge of frame. The title is printed in large red capital letters, taking up almost the entire cover, and wavering as though viewed underwater. The tagline reads, "Sometimes what is buried does not stay buried".

I feel I ought to make a lovely tableau to accompany this book in the photo, but it is so gorgeous it doesn’t need it. Meet the new French edition of the Black Magician Trilogy. A beautiful cover that’s even more green and lush in person.

Currently reading The Bullet Journal Method by Ryder Carrol and How Minds Change by David McRaney. Good reads for when I’m too busy to focus on a narrative.

Gosh. Now I’m here I don’t know what to say. Out of practise with using social media, after only (barely) using FB for ages.
