Another One and a Headscratcher

Since I wrote my last post on the absolute deluge of spammy, scammy AI generated book marketing emails, I continue to get them. Every single day. Multiple emails a day. But this one takes the cake. 


First of all, there's no salutation. Just a "Hi". 

Second, it's about a book I've never heard of. I didn't write Champagne at Seven! Nor did I have anything to do with its publication. 

Third, I don't write "binge-worthy women's fiction." 

And finally, I have no idea who Olivia Wyatt is. 

Why on earth did this get sent to me?

Whatever these spammers paid for this AI email generator, they definitely overpaid. 

 -----------------------------------------

It's hard enough being a creative person in a mostly indifferent world.  This kind of predatory crap is infuriating. 

I'd hate to see any writer get conned into spending precious money chasing empty promises.

Be careful out there, people.
