Thank you! 😁

It's used a ton of my books as well. I asked it what one of them was about and it completely made up a different story. I challenged it and it apologised then made up a second totally different story. AI just makes shit up and it's incredible no one is doing anything about it!

When LUCIA first came out on Audible there was a mix-up and the epilogue that I'd written was not included. I've finally decided to add that epilogue back in. All editions should now have it, with an updated cover, AND a new endorsement from Dr Jo Ball who you might know!

Today on Rock, Paper, Swords we talk to Edoardo Albert. He writes about Britain in the early medieval period, the 40th millennium in the Warhammer universe, and lots of other things! He has written novels and non-fiction, so there was a lot to chat about.
