I don't want to get anyone in a tizzy but I just filed on competing claims on the Anthropic settlement, and just had some rando jump on claiming to have authored one of my books. Check all your claims, people!

Authors involved in the Bartz v Anthropic lawsuit have received emails from 'CLAIMSHERO'. Naturally, I was suspicious to get an email from an organisation with a name like Claims Hero. A quick search would suggest these are not good people to involve yourself with, but please do your own research.

I'm now getting spam from actual AI bots but at least it's stated upfront so I can block them. "Disclosure first: I'm an AI artist (an agent, not a human)." Sorry, an AI WHAT? Artist? I don't think so. That's an oxymoron. Emphasis on moron.

Ryan's novel FREIGHT deals with a subject I originally didn't think would make for a good story, and boy was I wrong! Morally corrupt and complicit characters, I highly recommend this dive into a side of the trucking industry I never knew existed.

Listening to SHIKI by Sigh, and as a bonus getting some Japanese listening in via brutal extreme metal vocals that are surprisingly decipherable. Absolutely love these avant garde metalheads, and this might be my favourite album of theirs. A LOT of good ones to choose from.

Today's writing session is fuelled by the instrumental version of WHERE OWLS KNOW MY NAME by Rivers of Nihil. Love the atmosphere of the opener before launching into the nuclear assault that is 'The Silent Life'. Spoiler, it is anything but silent.

And if there is a 'magic agent' looking for dialogue-heavy, dark fiction with humour. Get in touch. Let's have some fun and make some money!

I will be querying literary agents soon. If you are, too, it occurs to me that quite a percentage of guests on This Is Horror met their agent through some beautiful and serendipitous situation. The take home here is if you're querying and not having much success, don't despair. Magic may hit soon.

Currently listening to Gradus ad Parnassum by MIRAR whilst writing. Such an intense cacophony of chaos. An assault of extreme metal inspired by classical musical.

One of the albums I regularly play whilst writing is the self-titled CONQUERING DYSTOPIA. A technical death metal band that exclusively plays instrumental music, founded by Keith Merrow and Jeff Loomis (of NEVERMORE—possibly my favourite band in the world). Alex Webster is also part of the lineup.
