I'm posting this again for the morning people: Romancelandia authors/writers/etc., you do not have to use Substack, and in fact you should absolutely leave Substack. This platform monetizes white supremacists, so why do you want to hang out with a bunch of Nazis?
Sean KilleenThat's 100% why I created leavesubstack.com -- got tired of re-hashing the points; wanted to make a simple 1-pager.
Romancelandia folks, you can leave substack. You *should* leave substack.

Weyodi OldBear- The Rood and The Seed is available for preorderIn 2018 I won the Imagining Indigenous Futurism prize for my short story "Red Lessons". I ended up turning the short story into a three book series. Book One; The Root and The Seed and The Thief In Between is now is available in ebook format from Android Press. www.android-press.com/product-page...
I continue to gnash my teeth at the fact that Arthropic stole my editorial work when they ingested literally hundreds of books I edited, but I'm happy at least some authors will be getting some amount of money in compensation.
Courtney MilanI am deeply sorry that this is not a result that everyone can participate in--there are so many people whose work was stolen who won't see a dime from this, so I know that this will be met with mixed feelings all around.
Writers, I highly recommend this ep which really dives into story structure. Lots of the thriller/mystery stuff applies to romance or provides a contrast that you'll find thought-provoking!
Fated MatesOnce upon a time, Sarah went to Sweden and met a thriller writer who likes talking about the rules of writing in genre as much as we do. We’re so excited that to be able to bring Anders de la Motte’s brilliant thoughts about thrillers and mysteries to Fated Mates!
I'm looking forward to seeing The Odyssey, but they better do my girl right! (This is an amazing book that looks at the myth from a different direction. One of my top ten all-time favorite books!) amzn.to/4vy7oo3

Romancelandia over here remembering that @fatedmates.net ep where they talked about a book where the hero was a guy who Zeus (Zeus? Someone else?) cursed to become a tree and eventually he got chopped down and turned into a door…and yes what I'm saying is the hero of that book was a door.
Suzan EraslanI am convinced by all the thirst for Erling Haaland that a lot of you just want to fuck a tree.
There's a ton of great stuff on this list and you still have a few hours left to bid!
