Facebook Doesn't Care About Security
On Friday, I noticed an unusual check-in on the Facebook page that I run for my studio. Someone named Olawumi Falusi had supposedly checked in there. Now, since I was at home and the studio was closed, I knew that was not factual. Curious, I decided to look at Olawumi’s profile page and what I found there was shocking: this person had spent the preceding 8 hours reposting a variety of the pictures I’ve posted on my public Instagram page, along with trying to copy my captions for those photos ...

The Rise of NFT Books (Part 4)
I’ve stopped advertising on Amazon. And Facebook. I’ve stopped subscribing to author services that “funnel” readers into my newsletter sign-up in order to get free ebooks. I’ve stopped worrying about my ranking on Amazon or how many reviews I have on Goodreads. I don’t chase viral trends on TikTok for #booktok or any of that. I’m not actively trolling social media looking for ARC readers in the hopes their reviews will spur some sort of buying frenzy on Amazon or elsewhere. I don’t need to do...

The Rise of NFT Books - Part 3
I was surprisingly able to get about four hours of sleep last night, which has fortified me for the day ahead - Mint Day! The first book in my bestselling Lawson Vampire series, THE FIXER, mints today at 9PM UTC over on Book.io and I am perhaps the most excited I’ve been about publishing in a very long time. If you’ve read my previous two articles on The Rise of NFT Books (Part 1 is here and Part 2 is here), then you know the many reasons I feel that they represent a true revolution for creat...

The Rise of NFT Books - Part 2
The response to my last article, The Rise of NFT Books, was so positive that I decided to dive in again and explore other aspects of what make NFT books so potentially powerful. Since last week, Book.io, the preeminent Web3 publisher of NFT books, has minted three more with great success. (Again, in full disclosure, the first book in my bestselling Lawson Vampire series, THE FIXER, mints with Book.io on Friday November 4th) Book’s passion for groundbreaking mints has been on full display with...

The Rise of NFT Books
The Web3 version of ebooks offers exciting possibilities and potential for authors everywhere…and not good news for traditional publishers who fail to adapt - again. Over the last few months, a rising star of the Web3 world, Book.io has been making some very interesting moves within the publishing space. Launching earlier this year, Book’s first foray into minting NFT books was to release works in the public domain with AI artwork created by artist Billy R. to produce variations and rarities ...
