Have your books been used to train AI?
I tried this, none of my books came up, fortunately. Then I tried the name of a late bestseller author and multiple of her books were listed.

If you want to write #fantasy with #witches, please do not call them #Wicca, unless they are actually intended to be Wiccan and you have knowledge about Wicca.

Not all witches are Wiccan. Not all Wiccans are witches. And not all witches want to become Wiccans. Wicca is also not the same as witchcraft, but a pagan religion with a god and a goddess.

So better don't call your fantasy witches Wiccans. You are not doing real life Wiccans a favour if you do.

for those of you who know about web dev . . .

I’m a 90% stack dev (amateur, in my spare time!)

currently I’m building a new web site (OK, four new web sites to be precise)

the HTML works

the PHP works

the mySQL works

I even have some images (with a bit of help and a bit of anguish from an AI image generator)

2 weeks so far

now for the CSS bit

CSS is not my favourite bit

this may take me another 2 weeks!
