Book Reviews & Writing News
Please note: I am not currently open to book review requests with the possible exception of authors or publishers I already know. I’m sorry this may come as a disappointment, and I really want to support the indie writing community as much as I can but at the moment taking requests is beyond my capacity as a reader. However, I can say with my whole chest that if you have used generative AI in any capacity in the production or promotion of your “book”, your request would certainly be denied. Especially if you use AI to write the request (seriously wtf is wrong with you?)

100K Words!
I thought I’d post a quick blog update on From the Grave of the Gods, which I have now brought back up to over 100,000 words! As I mentioned in my previous blog post, I planned to cut the book I had written into two and flesh out both so they became full-length novels of their own.
Major Novel Changes
It’s been a little while since my last writing update. That’s mainly because there’s not been a lot in the way of updates recently with both manuscripts out with beta readers… until the last few days, that is.
