I do hope so. Why would anybody want to read that stuff? It's as flat as a pancake.

And more than a few indie 'authors' publish books that are 100% ChatGPT-generated, which is nothing short of a scam. As a 100% human indie writer, it stings.

Day 6: In my current wip it's still to be decided who is more monstrous, the monster or the villain
Day 7: The sad fact is that villains' goals do not stray much from everybody else's. What makes the difference is how villains try to accomplish such goals

#ShamelessTuesdays

One word: stunning. Also atmospheric, gripping, heartbreaking.... One of the best horror series I've read lately. (4/4)

A doomed character you can't help but sympathize with. A damsel in distress with prophetic dreams that may become a knight. A villain you love to hate. A cast of magnificent supporting characters. A rounded worldbuilding and unique lore. (3/4)

What wouldn’t you do for love? As it is said, the road to hell is paved with good intentions, and Mark is about to find out how quickly that road will become a highway. But do not be fooled, this is not a romantasy story, but a peek into hell. (2/4)

The Sleepy Hollow Incident, by P.D. Alleva
Sleepy Hollow, Winter, 1997. Marc, a romance writer, watches his beloved Lori slip away after a car crash. Desperate to save her, he makes a deal - his soul in exchange for her life. (1/4)

Day 4: Porcelain Soul snippet
Day 5: There is a lot of stuff my characters are afraid of. And they are right. Supernatural threat or human threat, we all should be afraid of the dark. Terrifying things lurk in the shadows.

Let's see
The vampire's coffin would take up all the space in the living room; the werewolf would leave the sofa covered in hair; the zombie would drop gore-ish chunks everywhere; the ghost would keep me awake all night rattling its chains...
A tough decision.

In the Rock Lounge of Nottingham pub The Trip to Jerusalem hangs a model galleon covered by what looks like 50 years of dust & cobwebs, which no one dares clean. The last three people who have cleaned it are said to have died mysterious & unexpected deaths within months of doing so.

Thank you! ❤️

I enjoy reading ARCs, and I love to promote other indie authors' books as much as possible. However, finding so many books that rely heavily on AI or have hardly any parts written by a human being in them makes me very sad and angry. I feel *cheated* ☹️
#amreading #amwriting #ARC #IA #FuckIA

Hey Authors!

If you're not crediting your cover artist in the copyright section of your book, I'm going to assume it's AI and never read your books again.

Artists deserve credit.

View of a pond reflecting trees in green leaf…

Hags and water spirits abound in English folklore; in Suffolk we have a tale of a pond in Rendlesham said to be haunted by a ghostly woman in white who has been seen gliding on its surface or rising from its depths…

There are 3 white lady tales in Godley Green, in an old part of Greater Manchester. One lady haunts the lanes looking for her lover after she was murdered by her jealous husband. Another said to guard her hoarded wealth. The final is said to be a harbinger of death 👻👻👻
