A.I. and the Fetishization Of Ideas In writing and in dispensing my (very dubious, probably shady) writing advice, I am often keen to note that ideas are bullshit. Most writers treat them like precious gems when really, ideas are lik…

I said it before, will say it again -- generative AI fetishizes "ideas" while sneering at effort, execution, and education. That, despite Gen-AI being built on and out of other people's effort, execution and education.

Reviews are the lifeblood of indie authors.

In the last few years, reviews have trickled to a near standstill, which creates a conundrum: need readers to get reviews, but need reviews to get readers.

If you take the time to write even a single sentence review, YOU ARE AMAZING THANK YOU I LOVE YOU

Digital mock up of Bounty Inc. by Adam Holcombe in front of a space themed graphic background.

Random post to say if you want a review copy of Bounty Inc. (or either Gam Gam story), just let me know! I'm happy to provide one!

A Dead and Stormy Night by Steffanie Holmes

Scrolled through my kindle for a mood read that I’ve had on my TBR for more than a year. It’s been almost two years since I’ve downloaded this on KU so that’ll do. 🤣

"I'm not in denial about [AI]. I'm in open rebellion."

Amen.

Such spectacular colors.

A colorful bird with a large patterned beak and bright yellow, red, and black feathers perches on a branch against a blurred green forest background.

Review: The Witch of Willow Sound by Vanessa F. Penney | FanFiAddict Synopsis A spooky, atmospheric, and fast-paced feminist tale about women called witches and the parts of our history we’d rather forget Madeline is missing. ...

“[The writing style] lent the book an unsettling feeling that wasn’t overwhelming but still put me on the suspicious side the entire time. The short chapters also kept convincing me to continue, to read just one more chapter. Just one more. Or three.”

Gone But Not Forgotten making it into the Your Paper Quest Halloween box.

What's been your favorite win as an author? Big or small!

Book Cover, from Out of Dark Waters by Jason Stigliano. A colossal black dragon, curled around the heart of a ruined city.

Do you need a Christmas gift for someone who LOVES Dragonlance? Why not get them Out of Dark Waters?

It’s like a blend of Dragonlance and Final Destination, with a lemon twist of H.P. Lovecraft.
