Very pleased to share this gorgeous cover. It's been an absolute joy to write a novel in the Vampires of Dumas universe. You should read Emma Newman's The Vengeance, the first in the world. My story does not follow on hers (in fact mine is set earlier) but she set the tone and it's a pageturner. 1/

According to Bandcamp a whole 4 people listened to this (one of them being me, I believe) so uh

I'd view it as a personal favor if you could give it 2:30 of your attention 🙏

I'd say that disdain for AI tools and a refusal to use them is nearly universal among the (many!) authors I count as friends. Obviously there are authors using it, but this piece's contention that "authors are now forced to lie to publishers" is weird given how much my community loathes and shuns it

I respect trans people, so it's such a little thing for me to not watch the Harry Potter trailer or show. The proceeds from that property go directly to funding anti-trans work. It's a straight line from HP to destroying lives.
