It's profoundly saddening to read that AP will no longer be assigning or running book reviews because readers don't engage with them enough and they take too much effort to plan and assign. People complain about critics as gatekeepers; wait until all that's left is marketing.

Here is my personal philosophy, based on several decades of watching publishers go under: the moment a publisher is late on money because they don't have it, they are the enemy and your goal is to get your rights back.

So, I think it's time I begin, in detailed specifics, talking about the mess that is Unbound / Boundless as a book publisher, in essence stealing most of a years royalties from me and many other authors, as a result of poor financial decisions, and legal BS. Please read and share this thread.

Resharing more of my commissioned artwork! This time it's Ash and Lonan from my Folk series, a fae romance trilogy, by my good pal and amazingly skilled artist @bloodwrit.bsky.social 🖤 I love this one so much. Especially their clothes! And I love the way Vic draws Lonan in particular. So beautiful.
