I am strongly against AI in writing. I also happen to write and publish quickly. It's amazing how many authors will attack fellow writers simply for doing that. In 2013 I finalized my new medieval romance series. I published these on Dec 3, Dec 4, and Dec 5 2013 to drive holiday sales. This doesn't mean I wrote them in one day each! Or that I was a time traveler with early access to AI! Authentic authors should be supporting each other. #author #authorlife #writing #Writingcommunity

Hey Mastodon, I’m Zoraida Córdova—author of fantasy and romance that blends heart, magic, and identity. I’ve heard great things about this space and wanted to be part of a community that values meaningful storytelling and connection.

Excited to connect with readers, writers, and dreamers. Let’s make some magic here.

I didn't receive any further explanation and they didn't come back to my email request.
I always said that I left my works up there for free for those who couldn't afford to buy. Yes, it won't be as polished as the final product, but at its core, it is still the same story.
I have already taken down a link to the final product since that was a violation of their ToS but I really would like to know if that's enough and also, without communication, I have no chance of knowing and no chance to rectify.🤷

At my signing, a friend and self-published author himself, looked at my stacks of books, still wrapped together in bundles of three as I had received them from the printer… and he asked:
“Are you trying to sell these as bundles?”

And I wasn’t… but what a mad scheme. I should give it a try at a convention.
“Why not get a book and two more for your best friends?!”
If it works once, it’s genius. 😆

Why unicorns?
My reward for going into town when I have to stop at the farm store in what I call "big town" (which it really isn't, though it's the largest town in the county) is to buy a couple of Breyer blind bag unicorns. I feel around the bag, trying to make sure I get one of each, though last time I got two of the same, darn it! Someone needs to make a LibraryThing app f
