Authors, AI Books Covers, and Bullying: How harrassing indie authors became acceptable
Need an editor or ghostwriter? Let's talk! https://nonsensefreeeditor.com
A publishing professional used his platform to bully and threaten the careers of any indie author who dared use an AI book cover. The furor over AI images (and the lack of understanding of how they are created) has caused actual harm. This video is all about this one guy, how he is reflective of a greater problem, and a scathing rebuttal for this bullying of authors in general.

Disney Done BETTER? What Beauty and the Beast SHOULD have been
Buy the Kingdom of Forgotten Curses: https://amzn.to/46EKmA0
The live action Beauty and the Beast missed a prime opportunity to do an actual retelling, another in a long line of Disney failures. It didn't have to be this way.
A.R. Kaufer's The Kingdom of Forgotten Curses shows us an actual retold fairy tell, incorporating Beauty and the Beast with Dracula. But is it any good?

"SUBVERTING EXPECTATIONS" Done Right: Watchmen HBO
Dystopian Time Travel and Paranormal novels by Kristin McTiernan: https://amzn.to/3QMlH7F
People got so mad at HBO's Watchmen. Allen Moore denounced it. Fans trashed it. Rightfully so. But looking at it as an independent work, the show made some good decisions. For good reasons. Even still, the motivations were clear. How you feel about that is your business.

Publish your own audiobooks: How to win at indie publishing
Listen to Black Magic's Prey on Audiobook: https://rb.gy/tbt4k
Indie authors should not miss the opportunity to sell their books on audio. Some readers ONLY buy audiobooks, so don't miss out on the ability to reach more. This video will be about the process of recording your audiobook and uploading it to the vendor of your choice (in my case, Findaway Voices). It is less expensive and easier than you might be thinking.

False Teachers: PRE-WOKE Christian Criticism from the X-Files
Read my paranormal and time travel mysteries: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Kristin-McTiernan/author/B00XMBCXMM
The X-Files, on occasion, offered theological insight. In the days before it was expected to sneer at Christians, one episode took the time to call out false teachers, particularly "self-help" style preachers.

Believe all women? Lessons in YA Books for Girls
Read my PARANORMAL MYSTERY & TIME TRAVEL: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Kristin-McTiernan/author/B00XMBCXMM
90s YA books really cemented that young girls were a reliable audience, with authors such as Richie Tankersely Cusick, LJ Smith, and RL Stine rising to the top. The tropes that frequently occur in these books form an interesting pattern of what young girls can expect from the world. It might explain a few things about the now 40-something feminists who grew up reading them.
