Facebook, Non-Fiction, & Other Announcements

A few announcements...

Facebook

I will be deleting my Facebook account and Facebook author page over the course of the next couple of months. The author page will go first because I have far less on it to download that isn't already backed up. My main account—uggh. That one will take some work! My decision to leave Facebook came after learning (a) I was one of the affected parties Cambridge Analytica took data from and (b) reading multiple press reports concerning Zuckerberg's recent cozying up to conservatives in an attempt to not be held accountable and continue to mine and sell our data. While A pissed me off, B made the situation irredeemable. The GOP isn't going to aid Zuckerberg for free so it's logical to assume Facebook will become yet another propaganda machine for the hard right.

Genocidal Smile

I recently removed my 1st and only nonfiction book from publication. I stand by every assertion I made in it, but I want to rework some sections and then include them as part of a new nonfiction book that encompasses more than I originally focused on. Do I still believe Paul Ryan constitutes a major threat to minorities, the elderly, and the poor? Absolutely. The speaker says he'll never run for public office again, but he will. In my opinion, the only reason he's "retiring" from the house is because he knows he cannot win reelection in the 2018 midterms. So he'll bide his time, hope we forget the atrocities he's committed against our most vulnerable populations, and reinsert himself into political life when he thinks he stands a chance. Paul Ryan has always wanted to be president... he will come back.

Newsletter

Now that I've made the decision to leave Facebook, there will only be 2 surefire ways to get my announcements: sign up for my newsletter at the bottom of the jaidblack.com homepage OR subscribe to this blog for auto-updates. If you want book release information only, I suggest signing up for the newsletter. If you want book and personal updates, I suggest subscribing to both (or this blog at minimum.)

More to come

I'm still working on my adult fiction (erotic) titles, but I'm also going to be releasing R-rated adult comedies. I realize some of you won't necessarily like that—but!!!!—I've got to write the stories that want me to tell them. 

By allowing myself to be pigeonholed into writing "what sells" I've done you and me a disservice because I've accomplished almost nada. After testing the waters in nonfiction and satire, I now know I have an audience for that too. (HUGE relief lol) I don't want to be one of those authors 20 books deep (or more!) into a single series that invariably declines in creativity and originality with each subsequent title. I want to finish the series and serial I've already got looming over me and never, ever put myself in this position again. I've disappointed myself and let you down along the way so... yeah... never again!! 

That's all folks!

Until the next update...

Now Available - The Yuge Wall of Jina: It's Fully Loaded

It's a year past schedule, but the sequel to The Yuge Wall of Jina: It's Bigly is finally out! 😁 The synopsis and purchase links follow below:

I had a life in the Normal States of America— a wonderful, safety-pin-awesome, it just doesn't get better than this kind of existence. As a successful artiste, beloved daughter, and one of New York City's most desirable catches, no woman could have asked for more. ​​And then in the year 2073, he came along... ​​

One moment my life was near perfect and a blink of an eye later I became the prisoner-wife of a Cro-MAGAnon man. Now a freaked out captive held hostage in Trumpgolia, my abductor is demanding entry into my passage. He wants to fertilize my eggs and use my uterus as an unwilling host for the growth of his spawn. My only desire is freedom and my only hope is escape, but in order to secure either of them I must first penetrate... ​​

The Yuge Wall of Jina. ​

And this time, my friends, It's Fully Loaded.

$2.99 eBook | $6.99 paperback

Likely the ONLY nonfiction book I'll ever write

$6.99 eBook

I know my readers are waiting for sequels in 2 of my fiction series, but given the iffy state of my health this is the one book my conscience dictated I finish ASAP. It releases Feb 1st under my birth name so... fait accompli.

For 1.5 years I've been studying this man; what the media (and ourselves) have been describing as "spinelessness" in the Speaker of the House is turning out to be anything but. Paul Ryan's behind-the-scenes actions are cold, methodical, and reveal the darkest of intentions.

It doesn't matter what your political leanings are; if you never read another book I write make it this one. It's bound to offend extremists on both sides of the aisle—namely the alt-right, the evangelical right, and the alt-left—but my longtime readers also know I'm bound to not give a shit ;-O

Genocidal Smile also delves into more of my own personal backstory than I ever planned to reveal, but relating the parallels between what I'm seeing play out today vs what I've already experienced firsthand became unavoidable. (If you read it, you'll understand why.)

The synopsis follows...

END OF YEAR UPDATE

Many (if not most) of you know I've been dealing with a lot of issues. My physical health has been touch and go for several years now and, to be blunt, has worsened. I was finally able to get Obamacare (and thereby my $1000 a month pharmaceutical needs covered) only to have congress pass a tax bill into law that will likely cause me to lose coverage by October. That said, Glaxo-Smith-Kline has been great about providing me with my most expensive (and unfortunately most necessary) lung medicine free of charge. The not-so-great part is I'm only guaranteed free Anoro Ellipta until September 2018... literally 1 month before I will likely lose my health coverage altogether. To say I'm stressed is a major understatement.

At any rate, and to answer the question I receive most often, YES... I am still writing. I've been working on 3 different books as my health allows and hope to have them done ASAP. I will finish the Trek serial and Viking series if they are literally the last pieces I ever publish. Please understand that part of my illness causes memory lapse and cognitive delays (I have several lesions in my brain) so writing hasn't been an everyday ability of mine. Regardless, I am doing everything within my power to keep my promise and finish, at minimum, the Trek serial and Viking series. 

Happy 2018!

American Genocide

Call your senators TODAY as soon as you wake up—the Republicans are expected to pass Trump/Ryan-care as early as today. Democratic senators don't even know what's in the bill, much less us, the American public.
