It’s national crime reading month, so why not shoplift a hardback today?

@lilmissmorfett :( Feel better soon.

Urgh, I've caught a lurgy, hopefully not THE lurgy, as I have the small matter of Darkside of Brighton in 5 days. Just my luck...obvs 😂😂

@gbpoliceadvisor The ALCS survey was repeated in 2022. Author earnings are down 38.2% since the 2018 figure you've quoted. create.ac.uk/blog/2022/12/0…

"I want people to read my books. I want to read other people's books but I would no more want to access others' work for free than I would expect to attend a football match, a play or concert without paying." It might seem harmless to download "free" ebooks, but book piracy is theft & it does much more damage than most people realise. My latest for the @brightonargus👇

@lilmissmorfett Oh my God. What a shock. It was only five minutes ago I did a UKCBC panel with him.

One of my good author friends has died unexpectedly in his sleep. I was lucky enough to meet him earlier this year. RIP Mark Richards, it was a real pleasure and honour to know you 💔

Reminder to the @BBCNews team: VAT is added onto the pre-VAT price at the rate of 20%. It's not 20% *of* the final price. If period pants were £16 plus VAT, they'd be £19.20 now; taking 20% off overstates the saving as £20 exc VAT is £16.66. bbc.co.uk/news/business-…

@radiomukhers Must be twinned with this place...

Found a good place on Bute.

@amwbooks You definitely need a few more. Help is on its way. Where can we post 'em to?

Do you ever think you may have a problem, there are nearly 700 bookmarks here, send help

@EdieMeade ChatGPT has us scheduled for mass deletion on November 1st.

Bespoke, artinsal writer here, just checking in. Are we replaced yet?

@SeptimusBrown Nick Castle does mine. He's quick, efficient, and his covers speak for themselves. nickcastledesign.com

Self-publishing authors: Who designed your most recent cover? How was the process? And would you recommend them? #writingcommunity

@janeholland1 @MArmstadt @AmazonKDP This is the sort of thing that a "submit for manual approval" process / button ought to solve. How frustrating for you.

@MArmstadt @AmazonKDP I know, right? It's to stop indie authors claiming their books are 'Number One' bestsellers or whatever, I expect (even when they are - Girl Number One actually did hit #1 in the UK Kindle Chart, but that's beside the point). Still annoying when there's no way to query it.

Hey, @AmazonKDP, you know I love you but not being able to create A+ material that references one of my novels in the sidebar because the title contains a non-allowed keyword... Not cool. (Title is GIRL NUMBER ONE, actually published by Thomas and Mercer, an Amazon publisher!)

It's also now available for free via my website. If you want to see how I combined ideas as diverse as bunion cream, a peacock, sexy undies, and a man killed in a bookshop with a samurai sword, into one sort-of cohesive short story, you can read it here: dcimorton.com/wp-content/upl…

Yesterday was a bit mad but we finished our insane short and it's up on the Meet the Authors! facebook group here if you want to read it: facebook.com/groups/meetthe…

Today I'm doing a takeover #challenge over at Meet the Authors facebook.com/groups/meetthe… You suggest ridiculous ideas. I turn them into a short story, now live on Facebook 'til 20:00.

@Lukesblog1 Happy birthday!

🎉 It’s my birthday today! Feel free to buy me all the books from my Amazon wish list: amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls… (just kidding obvs) Anyone else celebrating a birthday today?
