Author finances and why being transparent about money isn't that easy. Also a bit more on Bard Art Friend, the ways in which we steal stories from each other, appropriation, intention, and owning our motivations.

The article on author finances that I mention is here (https://www.salon.com/2015/01/25/sponsored_by_my_husband_why_its_a_problem_that_writers_never_talk_about_where_their_money_comes_from/).

A bit more about Bad Art Friend and the really excellent discussion about it in the New Yorker. Also about kindness, what it means to us, whether it's a weakness or takes a particular strength of character.

The follow-up New Yorker article, which reviews the short story at the center of the bad art friend saga, is here (https://www.newyorker.com/books/page-turner/the-story-at-the-center-of-the-bad-art-friend-saga).

I go long today talking mostly to the authors out there about buying ads, marketing, and promo – and why putting time, money and attention into writing instead will not only make you happier but more successful in the long run.

Really well done supernatural suspense in a book I'm reading, how voice works, and an example of male gaze creeping into the depiction of a female character. Also when not to take advice from successful authors.

The book I talk about is THE WITCH HUNTER by Max Seeck and you can find it here (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/52322799-the-witch-hunter).

The Cory Doctorow essay is here (https://forge.medium.com/ignore-career-advice-from-established-writers-ec28fedb67c0).

Find THE DRAGON'S DAUGHTER AND THE WINTER MAGE here (https://jeffekennedy.com/the-dragon-s-daughter-and-the-winter-mage). The whole series, which is on sale! is here (https://jeffekennedy.com/series/heirs-of-magic).
