Alex<p>One reason people obsessively compare digital technology to the printing press (think Jeff Jarvis, Clay Shirkey, et al.) is that unlike radio, TV, or film, the invention of movable type is far enough back in history that its creation can be framed as a story of successful and broadly beneficial deregulation…which it’s wasn’t, but you can’t apply the same framing to e.g. radio, which was obviously deregulated thanks to dark money. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/book" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>book</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>books</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/bookstoread" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bookstoread</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/bookstadon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bookstadon</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Bookstodon</span></a></p>

Alexa Whitewolf✨ IT HAPPENED ✨<br> <br> Sorry for shouting, but oh, wow, I'm lost for words to tell you how excited I am about this! 🤩<br> <br> I've been dreaming of being featured in a book box for so long, and when I finally got an offer last year, I had to do my best to keep the secret (which was HARD, I swear 😅). But now I can finally share that I'm one of the featured authors in the Midnight Tales Book Box this April. Woohoo! 🎉<br> <br> The book is my romantasy novel Secret Shadows (a retelling of the Ancient Greek Hades &amp; Persephone myth and the legend of how The Underworld was formed). So if you haven't read it yet or you want to get a paperback copy + some awesome swag and a ✨signed✨ bookplate, now is the perfect chance to get it:<br> <br> <a href="https://forms.gle/24Hp9osMrtQbQemGA" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://forms.gle/24Hp9osMrtQbQemGA</a><br> <br> A huge THANK YOU to the Midnight Tales Book Box team and also to my readers.
