My coffee mug & I are currently sitting down to read John Bierce's post on AI & authors A little light career-freak-out reading for release day. Masochist.

If you're interested in John's post reddit.com/r/Fantasy/comm…

So, that was an interesting analysis of AI as it is now. Profit motives & limitations. Conclusion: AI can't replace me. But I already knew that ... because I am EMPRESS OF THE UNIVERSE ...ahem. Yeah, the coffee is kicking in on release day. LOL just wait till I add chocolate ;)

Have I mentioned I love my readers? It's a cold, wintry day here, and I'm all warm-fuzzy from the comments and encouragement for the release of "Salvage". THANK YOU (and yeah, I'm unapologetically all-caps shouting) :)

Guinness has a world record for the ‘most successful chimpanzee on Wall Street’. The chimp chose stocks by throwing darts at a list of companies. In 1999, she was briefly the 22nd most successful banker in the USA.

You wonderful people! Thanks to you, "Salvage" has a bestseller tag for Galactic Empire #SciFi @Amazon Woohoo!!! #NewRelease amazon.com/dp/B0BRHLZRY4 #KindleUnlimited

Also, the draft cover for "A House By Any Other Name" was my calm-my-nerves project for "Salvage's" Release Day, yesterday. It'll be out sometime next year. I'm just tantalizing you with a hint on the cover re the strange botanical basis for the Reality-bending house.

This explains why pouring so much energy into my books feels rewarding rather than exhausting...although it is exhausting. All hail the coffee gods! ;)

Fate's Renegade. A proper seer warns the hero, then retires to the luxury of her temple while the hero saves the day. Pfft. Boring. "The Delphic Dame" - a space opera series unlike any other! amazon.com/dp/B0BRHLZRY4 @Amazon #KindleUnlimited #scifi

I would really, really like to set a novel here. With UFOs. My muse insists on adding the aliens.

A quiet start to Tuesday. Drinking coffee. Wandering around social media. Thinking about books I may never write.
