An image showing the covers for my published books. The series name (The Way of the Wielder) is in white text at the top, and immediate beneath that is Book One (in blue text), Book Two (in red text), and Book Three (in green text).

Beneath that is the covers for each book, respectively. Book one is on the left. It’s titled, “The Way of the Wielder”. On the cover is the profile of a young woman looking left, staring at a glowing blue orb in her hand. Behind her is a misty cityscape, and between her and the author’s name (at the bottom of the cover) is a vignette of a fox running across a mountainous landscape.

Book two is in the center. It’s titled, “Mysteries of the Material”. On the cover is the profile of a young man facing right, staring at a fox mask in his hand; the other is holding a dagger. Between the title and the author’s name is a vignette of a woman standing before a glowing stone building.

Book three is on the right. It’s titled “Convergence of Connection”. The cover features a young woman facing the viewer, her hands before her with four orbs (green, gray, red, and blue) hovering around them. Behind her is a green and gold glow with leaves and vines along the edges. Between the title and the author’s name is a vignette of an angel before a starry golden sky.

Below that, the following text in white: Paperback, Kindle, and KU options available on Amazon now!

A parent should be able to propose removing a book from the school library only after READING IT in its entirety & delivering a book report to the librarian. The book report should be an argumentative essay on why it should be banned, at least 5 paragraphs & include counter arguments & proper citations. The parent must also give their stance on why the book is more dangerous than guns. Until then no discussion shall be entered into.

"AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry."

Win win.
I just registered my name & book details with the appropriate law firm.

You may have heard about the class action against Anthropic, who trained their models using pirated, copyrighted works (including mine):

https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2025/08/authors-celebrate-historic-settlement-coming-soon-in-anthropic-class-action/

Since they are settling the suit, you may want to ensure you can be contacted by counsel; you may be owed damages. (Amount TBD. Don't get your hopes up, but expect more than zero!)

The Authors Guild has useful information on how this impacts authors and what authors need to do:
