“I find it both incredible and disgusting how there are so many self-proclaimed best-selling authors out there who have not sold more than 100 copies. So many of these types of authors that lack accountability, transparency, and authenticity trying to sell their books with an abundance of false hype, false statements, and inaccuracies.”

“Learning that I could forgive my father, while realizing I did not have to let the aspects that I found unhealthy, disrespectful, and wrong continue, brought peace. It was liberating when I could forgive the man, but could also distance myself from elements that I had no reason to experience or engage with anymore.”

“Are you honest enough to share? Would you or could you add an AI statement of Use, or a note on AI and writing tools you used for your book? I think that would be a major challenge for so many today who are typing in simple short prompts to create complex 200 plus page books and then claim they wrote them.”

“With so many authors out there buying fake or hype reviews, consider clicking on that review, to see if the reviewer is being genuine. Check to see if they are saying the same wonderful things about every book, or, for that matter, every product they review. Review the review to see if it is true.”

“The Library of Congress is owed two copies of your book. U.S. copyright law (17 U.S.C. § 407) requires every published book to deposit two physical copies of the best edition at the Library of Congress within three months of publication. Most indie authors do not realize the obligation exists. The requirement sits in the statute regardless of whether anyone chases it. How to comply: send two copies of the best edition. If the book is published in both paperback and hardcover, the Library is entitled to two hardcover copies; paperback-only releases satisfy the deposit with two paperbacks. Copyright registration and the mandatory deposit are separate actions, and completing both is the cleanest path. Mail copies to: U.S. Copyright Office, Library of Congress, Washington DC, with the LCCN or PCN application if applicable.”

“Acknowledgment remained absent long-term. She would push to the point of sickness through drinking and activities that made recovery more difficult. She would refuse to rest, often requiring extended recovery, would acknowledge the issue briefly, then forget and repeat it.”

“I feel like my ex-wife could pass the most sophisticated lie detector tests and convince an experienced forensic psychophysiologist that specific lies she tells are true. I believe she knows she is lying about certain things, but I have also found that specific narratives she has constructed over time appear to her as absolute, undeniable truths, regardless of evidence to the contrary. I find this delusional and dangerous.”
