So I had already been removing my books from all the distributors individually within Findaway Voices’ interface… but someone on the Facebook Group Wide For The Win suggested they were also deleting all their audio files. BRILLIANT. Hard to steal what you don’t even HAVE. Since you can only republish with audio files, you need to republish first with “no distributors” and then go back in and do … [Read more...] about How to get out of Findaway when you no longer have a “delete project button”
Writer thoughts
Findaway Voices/Spotify… why it’s not “Just a Misunderstanding…”
There is a "hysteria" afoot apparently with regards to poorly written TOS contract terms in the new TOS update for Findaway Voices that apparently our feeble lady brains (and yes, men have accounts there, too), must be misunderstanding. We must just be confused. That black eye was just an accident. The more time goes on, the more I can see that predatory men are predatory everywhere. It is … [Read more...] about Findaway Voices/Spotify… why it’s not “Just a Misunderstanding…”
A Brief History of Brian and the Yuletide Slay Ride Blurb
Here's the blurb for Yuletide Slay Ride... It's coming out HOPEFULLY next Wednesday (the 13th) but no later than the 20th. I'll keep you posted! "I turn slowly toward her, and that thin frail hope that I’d held onto… the hope that I could sate the demon raging within me and cool off my simmering rage by hacking up Gregor… that I could spare Mina my evil tonight… that hope is gone. What will … [Read more...] about A Brief History of Brian and the Yuletide Slay Ride Blurb
A friendly reminder that it isn’t just George R.R. Martin who isn’t your Bitch
The other day I wrote the epilogue for the last novella in Brian and Mina's Holiday Hits. I woke up with inspiration and OMG it is SO good. I've known the ending of this series (the Valentine's book) since before I started writing The Easter Hunt, and few stories have lit me up the way Brian and Mina's stories have. They're fun, dark, sexy, and if you love Brian you'll love it. And if you haven't … [Read more...] about A friendly reminder that it isn’t just George R.R. Martin who isn’t your Bitch
TikTok, AI, and other impolite things
I don't write a lot of blog posts that aren't just "so here's what I have for you next" but I have some thoughts and feels about two things which seem unrelated at first glance but are very related to me. TikTok and AI. Before I get into this, I want to point out that I have author friends who use TikTok and author friends who use AI tools. I am not making a moral argument nor am I speaking … [Read more...] about TikTok, AI, and other impolite things
“My Characters Tell Me What To Write”
Early on in my writing career, like EARLY on, back in 2008, I would always get SO irritated when people talked about "The Muse" or their characters telling them what to write or any other woo woo magical explanation for what I felt was THEIR hard work and talent. It just felt like an excuse to not work. Or like they were being "fake humble" about their talent. But now, 14 years later, I … [Read more...] about “My Characters Tell Me What To Write”
