A correction to last week's podcast (Aidan Quinn, *not* Liam Neeson!), along with a story about how my weird brain scrambles names. Also, on officially cancelling/postponing the release of PRINCES, POTIONS, AND PIXIE DUST. And thoughts on envious techbros and how their longing to be real creatives and disdain for genre led to them being genuinely evil in training their "AI" monsters.

My mixed (and spoilery) review of Practical Magic 2. Also thoughts on Ed Sheeran (TLDR: sigh). Otherwise I'm working away on Never the Roses 3 and happy for rain in Santa Fe! Special Cats and New Mexico weather episode :D

How changing the name of New Mexico to New America is absurd on every level. (When did Monty Python start writing the script???) Also the Southern New Mexico Book Festival and a childhood story about why I learned it was bad to be a sensitive person - and how we affect people in our lives.

How to read Publisher's Marketplace Deal Reports and other arcania of how traditional publishing finances work. Also my very cool appearances at Fan X Phoenix and people who do and don't (and why it isn't shocking at all).

The utter nonsense of people claiming to be "thought leaders" and how they feed into an incestuous cycle of creating more nonsense with Generative "AI." Also, the basic common sense of being an author, especially an indie author, and why craft and financial competence matter. And: wine sleeves. Why?

I'm counting down the last few days of my 50s! Also, advice on not having the chops (yet) to execute an idea, thoughts (and history) on men taking up all the air in women-dominated spaces - especially during Romance events - and why it's an increasing problem that authors paying into events is the business model for so many of them.

Ego, really bad writing advice, and what I think Jeff Bezos has in common with creators who believe they're successful because they are just that special. Also, an interesting story about "AI" tags and Bramble - another reason to love them!

I'm addressing a listener question today about HM Wolfe's DAGGERMOUTH and the discourse around it regarding generative "AI" and other, similar situations and what I think about community policing. Basically I come down to listen to the experts and professionals. (Also, you can pry my em-dashes from my cold, dead keyboarding fingers.)
