I have made my stand on AI art (or AI in any creative endeavor) abundantly clear in my Never AI pledge. But Brandon Sanderson says it much more eloquently in his Dragonsteel Nexus keynote speech. I’m not going to tell you everything he says, as I want you watch his...
I have just released my Never AI pledge. I should not have to do this, but with the rapid proliferation of artificial intelligence, the threat posed to all creative-types has never been greater. Writers, poets, illustrators, voice actors, composers, musicians, and artists of all kinds now face a truly existential crisis. As...
Following their massively insulting AI writing scandal, in which they said they would permit AI writing, then doubled down saying it was “classism” to discriminating against AI writing, Nation Novel Writing Month lost a huge number of subscribers and is now shutting down. And that’s on top of a prior...
I have deleted my NaNoWriMo account and will never participate in their official event ever again, even if they reverse course on this issue. For those who don’t know, NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month, which is held in November) has officially stated that they do not condemn the usage of...

Detective Vescard knows all too well the monsters and madmen who prowl the fog-veiled streets of Corradon. He is, after all, a monster himself. But crime ever turns in the Clockwork City, and...
Brandon Sanderson’s Kickstarter is certainly one for the record books. Not only was it the biggest Kickstarter of all time, but it blew away the next highest one by light-years. Bringing in a whopping $41.7 million dollars, the numbers are absolutely shocking — especially since he expected a “mere” $1...
I am happy to announce The Case Files of Aldicus Vescard audiobook has a release date! Produced by Podium Audio and narrated by the fantastic voice talent Phil Thron, The Case Files of Aldicus Vescard will be released to Audible (and through Amazon) on April 26th, 2022. Preorders are being...
Have you ever wondered how print-on-demand works? No? Well, be that as it may, I’ve found a pretty nice video showing how Amazon fulfilment prints books on demand.
