I'm giving myself a mental break from bookreading for today, but I plan to read Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson.

I've already made some way - over 20% - and I'm having a good time so far.

What are everyone's thoughts of Mistborn? No spoilers, please.

I pulled all my e-books off Kindle yesterday because of this. It effectively ends my writing career because, despite everyone complaining that Amazon is evil... nobody buys books from the many other stores my books are available on.

I am sad. I am angry. I am *exhausted*.

I am ONE indie author. I am nobody. My protest is utterly meaningless in the face of this ever-expanding AI takeover. Unless all indies do this, and all tradpub authors pressure their publishers to fight Amazon, my pulling my books is not going to do a damned thing to make Amazon stop doing this. All it will do is end whatever tiny little chance I might still have had at having a real writing career.

But I am so sick of AI being shoved into every aspect of my life and not even having the right to opt out of it. This is the ONLY protest I CAN make. So that's what I'm doing. And at least I know they won't be able to use my books this way.

Kindle's New Gen AI-Powered "Ask This Book" Feature Raises Rights Concerns - Writer Beware

In a recent press release, Amazon noted that some new features were coming to Kindle. We’re adding new AI-powered reading features that preserve the magic of reading on Kindle.

Big News!

THE MALTESE FALCON by Dashiell Hammett entered the public domain this year. Other authors are free to take the character of Sam Spade and the story of the falcon & run with it.

I have done exactly that, attempting to answer the question, "What happened to the black bird?" in a story titled "Mockingbird" that has been published by Eclectica Magazine. Read it here:
