Mary, a year ago, I stopped using Facebook for promotion. I only work here, on the platform, and it's much better and feels more genuine. I don't have to read pieces that I don't like only for the sake of exchange ( I don't count your reading group, because all the writers there are wonderful, and the stories you choose, too, so I always read them with pleasure. )

And yes, unfortunately, there's been an influx of Asian authors using exclusively AI and posting AI comments on my stories. There might be purges. I'm worried, too.
