A contact form reads: Subject: Checking Authenticity Body of message Hi there Beth. I have been contacted by someone who is using the email, [email blacked out], and using you name and one of your novels 'Feast of the Starving Stone: The Chef’s Five' to engage with me as a fellow author - if it is you then great, if it is not, as i suspect, then this is a fake approach. I just wanted to be sure. thanks. [signed name blacked out] You're a real person, right? No, I'm a bot. Please don't include existential questions in a contact form. Yes.

I just found out that an AI scammer is impersonating me in their spam campaign. I am LIVID.

Please, please share this post. Warn people. I’m horrified that someone might be ripped off in my name.

No one is safe from being impersonated like this.

a. Editors are crucial to the publication process. With just one exception, every editor I've had has either improved my book or notably improved my book.

2. Any publisher using AIs for editorial is not actually editing their books.

Δ. In my experience, AI editorial like Grammarly is often wrong.

Amelia Shadows has never had what you might call a “normal” childhood. For one thing, her dad’s the most powerful dark magician in the world. And for another, she’s spent her entire life in a house filled with ghosts and monsters and incredibly dangerous magical objects! As far as Amelia’s concerned, her life’s actually pretty cool. When Amelia and her cat, Clara, aren’t having adventures or dealing with dimensional portals in the pantry, she’s learning to be a dark magician, just like her dad, with the help of a ghost tutor named Gustave. You’d think a ghost tutor named Gustave would be pretty fun, but he’s actually pretty boring. And if a boring ghost tutor wasn’t bad enough, now Amelia’s dad has hired another ghost to oversee things, Hans. Which wouldn’t be that bad, except Hans has very strong opinions about how things should be around the house. This new head ghost has got to go, and Amelia may have a surprising ally… Magic and mischief and a life lesson or two from Matthew Dow Smith, creator of DC’s Misfits of Magic and Maverick’s The October Girl.

In stores now!

As someone who feels like I am moving at a snail's pace right now--compared to being able to write two books and a novella or two a year a decade ago--you might wonder, have I ever been tempted to even think about using AI to speed the process up?

The answer is not even fucking slightly.

Could you make one of her waving and FLYING please? ❤️

And the model for the woman on the cover to House of Secrets #92 introducing Swamp Thing was the great comic book writer/editor Louise Simonson!

An image of the five main titles in the Summer King Chronicles by Jess E. Owen. Title lettering in an ornate frame appears above the books, and a line from a five star review reads: “I’m sitting here, wondering how to put my newfound love for this series into words.” the whole image is set against a snowy mountainous backdrop illuminated by an aurora borealis. That image is from the cover artwork for the book “A Shard of Sun,” and was painted by Jennifer Miller aka Nambroth.

Fair winds friends!
I believe my stories are evergreen and important now: compassion, heroism, friendship, discovery, fall and redemption. If you haven’t read my books yet, I invite you to the world of the Summer King Chronicles. If you have, let this be your sign to read again and come back home🪶💫

If you're looking for an inker I'd love to hear from you! I'm hoping to line something up for late summer/early fall. :)
