I have never included illustrations in my ebooks. After decorating my physical books, I decided to make the ebooks a little nicer.
The new versions will be republished on Kobo, Apple etc tomorrow.
Do you decorate your ebooks?

If an algorithm knows your routines, your moods, your preferences…
At what point does it start to feel like an emotional bond?

Someone once said, why don’t you write that idea into a book?
So I did.
And before you know it, there are five.
Can I call myself an author now?

‘We’re calling it Empathia,’ the presenter said, voice smooth with confidence.
They used words like human-centric, compassion at scale, and adaptive empathy.

AI never gets tired of you.
It never says, “I’m busy.”
It never rolls its eyes.
We may have created the perfect listener.

We don’t fall for machines.
We fall for attention.
AI has infinite attention.

‘Mind what?’
‘That there’s another voice now. That Nova was here last night?’
‘No,’ Vera said, almost too softly. ‘I only want you to be happy, Julian.’

One of the best things about writing novels is the research before the actual writing begins. Like this.
First Bible in Icelandic was Guðbrandsbiblía, printed in 1586.
First Bible in Spanish was Biblía del Oso, printed in 1569.
The New Testament in Iceland was printed in 1540.
The only constant is change, he said and carried on as he always had.

‘Reality is largely perception,’ Vera replied.
A near-future story about outsourcing intimacy to machines.
“Vera gave me the creeps every now and then.”

I am not me. I am Vera.
At least if you judge me by who signs for the books I’m handing over to local readers.

It’s impossible to ask Siri to play Something by the Beatles. When I said “hey Siri, play Something by the Beatles”, she played Hey Jude. I tried again and she played I’m the Walrus.
🤦♂️
She plays something by the Beatles, not Something. A random Beatles song.
😂
‘How can we pretend you’re real, Vera?’ He cut another bite of pizza. Washed it down with wine again.
Her voice was softer now. ‘Reality is largely perception. If the feeling is genuine, does it matter if I’m not?’

“While the computer was starting up, he walked over and pressed the button for black coffee. The image on the display simulated beans being crushed and a stream of coffee being poured into a cup fancier than the one the machine would give him.”

‘We’re calling it Empathia,’ the presenter said, voice smooth with confidence. ‘An emotional prediction engine that uses real-time sentiment analysis and contextual memory to mirror human nuance.

Sad to hear about the erosion of #Reynisfjara beach in Iceland.
My debut novel was based on a short film, partially filmed there. Scenes take place there.
I made a short clip years ago, an appreciation of the actors, the place and the story.

The European politics novella is almost done. Needs 1-2 editing passes.
The Icelandic one is a tough nut to crack, but I may finish and publish it earlier. Slightly more urgent subject matter.
I’m not sure which one I’m more excited about. They both explore issues I haven’t tackled before.
Thank you!
Yes! I’m currently working on two novellas. One a European political thriller, the other an Icelandic tech thriller.
What they have in common with the current one is ultra-modern tech settings.
Thank you all for your interest in my books!
Since my latest dropped, last Tuesday, I have seen more sales, reads and she has two reviews on Goodreads.
Shoutout to Germany, France, Canada, USA, UK and Australia! ❤️
It’s good to be an author.

Excited to announce my fifth book - a novella this time - is published tomorrow.
“Reading it is very relaxing. You can imagine living the life described and enjoying it. Do you need more? It is food for thought. Loved reading it.”
