I don’t use AI. I think it’s a both an ethical and environmental disaster, and as a writer, I have no use for it—I want the work to be MY work. My sci-fi romance book INTO THE GREAT comes out on Tuesday. It’s 100% human written and published, and you can get it here: lilfac.com/shop/ws-/pro...

(And if you're looking at that costume and thinking that maybe you've seen it somewhere before, then you've probably seen the cover for AMELIA SHADOWS AND THE ANNOYING ARCHENEMY, coming in December! When that comes out, you'll see how this all ties together!)

The cover for ASatAAE with Awesome Man on it!

(CW: Talk about cancer and suicide) If I can put my Comic Book Dad hat back on for a second -- I don't like that the first thing I think about when I hear about a comic book creator dying far too young is to wonder if it was cancer or suicide. I don't like what that says about the industry.

Nothing like spending a rainy day in a cave. My wife and I were visiting a brewery in PA when we discovered Indian Echo Caves and got to go on a quick tour.

Starting to see digital readers reacting to Dreamhouse is pretty cool. Hits a little different when the book is all on you.

YES!!! Tell people about the books you love, that brought meaning and joy into your life, otherwise, they will never hear about them! Reviews are our lifeblood. Having staff at a local bookshop excited to recommend our books meaningfully moves needles--and they won't know if you don't tell them!

“AI Sucks” is the one horse we should never stop kicking even long after its death. Kick it until its memory is ash. Construct whole cathedrals and raise future generations in the religious fervor of kicking this dead ass horse for losers and hacks. 🥾🐴
