Someone who was not my publisher set up a fake preorder for my latest book on Amazon.

Some of the information from the fake preorder, including a completely different item in place of the cover art, was imported into the real item.

If any of you is a real person who works at Amazon and can fix a listing after it was targeted by a scam like this, please let me know ASAP.

Yes, both my publisher and I have already reported it.

I have been spending the past month working (a lot) to relaunch my daily story recs as a newsletter with the demise of Twitter. Built up well over a month of recs to post.

But IDK which service to use. Obvs not Substack. 5x/week emails need to be affordable. Is this a thing? Any comments welcome

Not feeling well, so not really around, but today is Intersex Solidarity and Remembrance Day, and I have plenty of resources for this day that I'd like to briefly share! :intersex_flag:

(Responses will probably only happen later, but feel free to ask)

@bogiperson@wandering.shop avatar

@justpeachy @bookstodon Hi, sorry I missed this! This has been changing a lot recently. Even a decade or so ago, the vast majority of intersex people had one of the two binary genders (at least publicly), but a lot of intersex people have been coming out as nonbinary, so it's very much in flux now.

Also more trans (any kind of trans) people who are intersex are now out about being intersex when formerly they (we) weren't.

Hope this helps! :)

I had to skip yesterday because Shabbat starts so early this time of the year.

So now you get TWO of my recent favs.

Nov 3: HYBRID HEART by Iori Kusano, from Neon Hemlock (2023)

Near-future science fiction focusing on a Japanese idol singer, whose every breath is tracked... Claustrophobic and deeply felt:

Let's do a update! From my favorites bookshelf -

A TASTE OF HONEY by Kai Ashante Wilson! (2016)

A gorgeous high fantasy novella (who says high fantasy has to be doorstopper-length?), unapologetically Black & queer.

Honestly stunned to hear that the preorders page for my latest book on Amazon is NOT actually from my publisher.

My publisher is looking into it right now.

This explains the weirdly inappropriate image uploaded with it.

PLEASE order directly from the press while this gets sorted out:

Pls notice when publishers, booksellers, book bloggers etc. shift from "books by Palestinians" to "books about Palestine" - these are very much not interchangeable terms.

(Fwiw the same thing happened with "by Ukrainians" and "about Ukraine" & I pointed it out back then too. It repeats.)

I think this is the first review of Rosalind's Siblings I see! From Clara Ward.
