I guess now's a good time to remind publishers that AI-generated material is not copyrightable. The author can use it to generate ideas, but the material must substantially be created by a human. So, good luck with making money off those 1,000 books a year.

The cover of the Audible Original RomCom “Love, Rebooted” by Katy Summers. It features a man and woman in a lift with the London skyline behind them. She has long wavy red hair and is wearing a green tartan pinafore and black top. He is wearing a short and tie and has blond hair. They are both holding laptops.
Oh gosh yes I do! I’m rubbish at promoting myself 😂 this is the book. The blurb is on the page under “Summary”

It’s making me feel so ill. It’s like we’re living in some mirror universe. BUT I do have cat pics and good news. My good news is that my RomCom which has a high masking autistic woman as one of the leads came out last week and has been well received 🥳 And my pic is of my old man Henry 💜💜💜
Who knew the possibility of a US book tour could be so nerve-wracking? With shifting visa rules and authors being sent home on arrival, is it worth the risk? I’m sharing my thoughts and asking, ‘Are you still booking that flight?’

Not yet. Hopefully next year.
I just don’t understand why some people get mad about stuff like this. Why care about how someone else chooses to create? I’m chronically ill and sometimes have to work lying down. I actually just bought an iPad yesterday to make it easier for me. No iPad, no next book for a very long time!
Me and countless other authors today…😂
A screenshot of a review from Audible which says: Love, Rebooted 5.0***** Honestly wow Donna • 6 hours ago What a book ..... The story was well rounded with context and grit to bring the characters to life. Realistic trials and tribulations that are well conveyed and accessible as a reader. A touch of SEnding in a HEA and narration that knew the assignment and executed it perfectly. I have never come across characters portrayed in such a way was just amazing. As a parent of a teenage autistic daughter and a son with PDA, i genuinely have never felt so seen in fiction.
I’ve received my first review on Audible for my book Love, Rebooted and I am crying. My one wish was to help even one person feel seen. There have been tears.

The gorgeous narrators of my book, Love, Rebooted discussing it, and many other things in this video. Gosh I couldn’t be happier having Emily Atack and Stuart Martin play Liv and Finn - they are both SO PERFECT.

Thank you SO MUCH Charlie!!!
The cover of Love, Rebooted by Katy Summers. Featuring a couple in a lift with the London skyline behind them. On the left is Liv, a gorgeous plus sized red head wearing a green tartan pinafore. On the right is Finn, a tall, gorgeous dirty blond in office attire. They’re both holding laptops and looking at each other smiling.
So happy that it’s publication day for my debut novel “Love, Rebooted” - available today as an Audible Original narrated by the gorgeous Emily Atack and Stuart Martin. This book was a joy to write

The time has come to break the seal on book two in my series. Did I spend this morning creating a wholly unnecessary spreadsheet to track my progress? Yes. Am I still a ridiculous pantser who doesn’t think they can write? Yes! But I’ve done it before, so I can do it again. #Author #Romancelandia
Speak up for trans people every single day, especially to your shithead friends and relatives and especially when it’s awkward. Make it your business to make it awkward.
If you're listening out for the winds of resistance, the folks at the Alt National Park Service @altnps.bsky.social are worth following
I’ve watched it three times. The first time I was so worried they’d kill one of them off and kept messaging my friend anxiously hoping it would be a capital R Romance and I’d get my HEA. 😂
Elon Musk tweet: We spent the wekend feeding USAID
Imagine you were the richest man in the world. You could have anything you wanted, go anywhere you wished, do whatever took you fancy. How would you spend your weekend? Depriving the poorest people in the world of food and healthcare and boasting about it?
This bill in OK is exactly what Project 2025 threatened: to make all pornography illegal, and criminalize the people who make it, using a WILDLY broad definition of pornography, which would include any book with sex in it.
We're talking jail time for romance authors.

hey quick question does Goliath win in that story
Where's that post about what advice you'd give to yourself if you could go back in time? Because it's "Woman, do not get rid of your CDs and DVDs. Around 15 years from now, you're going to get very cross about having to rent the things you love, assuming they're available. Save yourself the trauma."
OpenAI says it has proof that Deepseek used its work without permission to create something meant to undermine and destroy its product.
On behalf of all the authors whose novels and stories were taken as training data, oh no that must be so hard for you.
To be an autistic woman is always feeling a little bit like a Sylvanian Family hamster that's landed in Barbie World
"Remind yourself constantly that no one gave you your identity, truth, or power, and no one can take them away without your permission." ⤵️
So happy to see you here!
