Hard to believe my 8th book, Feral, is officially released into to the world today. Support an Indie Author and grab a copy now. Links are in my bio.

Side note… my 1st book, American Nomads was released 4 years ago. 8 books published in four years. Whew! Time to revise #9 🙂

@ScottLaudati Nice! South to Roswell or on to Albuquerque?

@TAR_Kirk 😂😂😂

@ashleyschendel Another is working on it now, looking to buy next year. The duo in the 1bd, will move to the 2bd until they buy their own. When that happens, my youngest will move into the 1bd. And the cycle repeats.

When everyone is on their own we have rentals for income. Win/win. /end

@ashleyschendel We live on some acreage where we built 2 more small houses. 1 w/2 bds, 1 w/1 bd. Our kids live in them & pay rent & their utility bills. The goal is to allow them to save up $ to buy something of their own.

1 has already done this w/her husband /1

A snippet from one of my upcoming novellas

[NLMcLaughlin @NL_Mclaughlin]

@MissSamVee Yes. Very cunning, merciless hunters who like to taunt and play with their prey (or food)

[NLMcLaughlin @NL_Mclaughlin]

@ScottLaudati A lot of the ones I know, aside from you, write splatterpunk, horror and a few even write fantasy. I'm sure there's more, those are just the spaces I've run into them.

[NLMcLaughlin @NL_Mclaughlin]

This 💯. Mark edited the entire American Nomads series. By the end of the series, he was so well versed w/the characters, he even pointed out that a Cajun character of mine, “might not say it this way.” 😂

I honestly think his feedback helped me become a better writer.

AI has been trained on hundreds of thousands of books and 95% of those books have spelling errors. AI will flatten your writer's voice. https://t.co/oqGT2mSeAi

What is in your book?

@Whitedale_U Here’s the link to the CNBC article.

It looks like Hatchet didn’t care, initially, but after the recent court ruling, they changed their stance because in the words of the McMillan CEO, “No one can own Ai generated work.”

@Whitedale_U Found this clip of a recent interview w/the CEO of McMillan. Also saw an article on CNBC from a couple of days ago where the courts recently ruled that work created through Ai, cannot be copyrighted. /1

[David Perell Clips @PerellClips]

CEO of Macmillan: "Our copyright law doesn't protect things created by AI. Nobody can own it. It's not subject to copyright protection.

So now, as a businessman, am I going to invest in something that has zero barrier to entry?

If I publish that book tomorrow and it's deemed not to be covered by copyright, everyone else can publish a different version for that book."

@MichelleMo28539 @Whitedale_U Ah, more clarity. Thank you.

I’ll never understand how folks can release a book without reading it so many times, you could recite it word for word, blindfolded. I once published through a smaller press, even then, I read it one more time when I got my copies.

[NLMcLaughlin @NL_Mclaughlin]

@mmdaviesostrom @jakonrath @Whitedale_U Yeah, the whole thing is weird. So many questions without real answers.

[NLMcLaughlin @NL_Mclaughlin]

@Whitedale_U Makes sense, and good to know. Still begs the question how it got this far. With all those eyes reading it, someone should have flagged it early on.

[NLMcLaughlin @NL_Mclaughlin]

@mmdaviesostrom @Whitedale_U How did no one figure out the use of Ai before this? If it's glaringly obvious, it should have been flagged way sooner.

[NLMcLaughlin @NL_Mclaughlin]

@mmdaviesostrom @jakonrath @Whitedale_U I hear you. It still begs the question how it made it through editors without being flagged?
