Deviation Actions
I hate to ask this, but over the last year or so my books online have received hardly any reviews. Unlike many other authors I don't often openly ask for reviews, but the dearth of them lately has kind of forced my hand.
Aside from the book cover, reviews are one of the major factors that really help to sell a book on sites like Amazon.com and Smashwords. So I'd like to ask anyone here who has read my books and enjoyed them to perhaps leave a few kind words about them on the site where you purchased them. It doesn't have to be long--I've had many reviews that only consisted of things like "Good book" or "Great read" or "Fun story" or "Cured my cancer" (okay, maybe one of those is made up.)
I am NOT asking for dishonest or inflated reviews, just honest feedback. It would help me out. If you do leave any, thanks, I will appreciate it!

Marmalade Is Missing Cartoon
Given the, let's say, cultural interests me and my followers on here share, I thought many of you would be interested in a great little independent animated short I found on youtube, featuring a clueless cat and a magical burlesque show. It's very well done with good humor, smooth animation, and great character design. Definitely one for fans of curves and callipygian connoisseurs! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPBtWBSLPhs&ab_channel=WindingSnakeProductions
Update-O-Rama!
Things have settled down since my bit of a crisis in November. Damage was done, especially to my wallet, but things have mostly recovered. I still cannot access my Facebook accounts, and doubt i ever will now. It's not a great loss, but it's still very annoying that the accounts and the money were stolen from me, and both Facebook/Meta and Paypal didn't do jack shit about it because they're unregulated and their customer 'service' is a bunch of self-recursive algorithms and chatbots. When I was actually able to talk to a person, like at my bank, progress was made and I got some money back, but good luck trying to do that with Meta or Paypal. Speaking of Paypal, I can use it again. However, if you hire me for writing or art commissions, and you have an alternative means of payment like Western Union or Amazon Pay or Zelle or things like that, let me know and if I don't already have it I'll make arrangements. ANY viable alternative to Paypal, who screwed me over, is preferable.
My Facebook And Email Were Hacked!
So friday i discovered that someone had hacked into my new-ish business facebook page, Paul Lucas Writing And Art, and accessed the ad account there. They set up a fradulent ad campaign to the tune of a $299/day limit over the past week and drained all the money I had in the attached paypal account. I since blocked facebook's access to my paypal and I contacted Meta customer service and they said they would look into it. Unfortunately, I logged into the account this morning, saw that a new credit card was attached to it. I was immediately kicked out of my account and was locked out despite everything I tried. Worse yet, my email attached to it was apparently hacked too, because every communication I had with Meta was missing and unrecoverable. I spent most of the afternoon changing passwords everywhere. I can't get to their customer help without logging on, and trying both phone and email have turned up nothing so far. I'd just accept the loss, but those facebook pages are
Inkbunny, Inkblot, and Hentai Foundry
I've been trying to organize things for myself the past few weeks and found out I still have accounts on all three of these websites. I stopped using them for various reasons (Inkbunny because it became too synonymous with cub art for a while; Inkblot because the submission process was too clunky; and Hentai Foundry because... I can't remember why. It was over 10 years ago >_

You are the only writer I know (online) deserves the praise and great reviews. I still consistently read the stories I asked years ago.
