Please bask in the beauty that is the Song of the Huntress pb out next month! It's queer, court intrigue-y, full of Otherworld mischief, has a host of cursed women warriors & even the dead kings of Wessex. No book is complete without the undead. Just you wait for my next one🪈🧟‍♂️

Make your voice heard. Make it fAIr. Authors, if you haven't signed the petition yet, it's here: change.org/p/protect-authors… Today please join us in asking Meta to compensate authors for the work they have stolen. My books (over 15 years of work) are in the pirated database too.

Meta stole EVERY BOOK I’ve written to feed their Llama AI program. I’m joining with @Soc_of_Authors today to demand #Meta pays for the work it stole. I call on the UK Government @SoniaKumarMP @UKParliament to support authors and uphold copyright. Please share! #MetaBookThieves
A poster for The Society of Authors’ protest against the illegal use of millions of authors work by Meta to feed into its Llama AI program. The headline reads: “Meta Book Thieves. They must Do the Write Thing.” A crowd of protestors beneath the headline are holding placards that read: “Book Thieves”, “Make It Fair”, “Do The Write Thing” and “Words Are Not Free”.

Somewhat pointless I suspect to post this here *gestures at the wasteland* BUT if you're looking for your next transrightsreadathon book, Sistersong is $2.99 in the US today - yay! amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B08ZMVWS3…
