Greetings. Welcome to my latest attempt at social media.
(I'd just write stories if I could, but marketing isn't free, so here I am.)
I write gritty sci-fi, weird horror, & pagan fantasy.
I don't use any A.I. for my stories, books, or games.
Do come & see if my writing & your imagination get along.

There should be alarm bells ringing at full tilt in Westminster when it comes to the coordinated intimidation campaign we saw over the weekend.
What we got instead is a toothless statement that the government “condemns.”
Not nearly good enough, I’m sorry.

What Happened In Dover and Portsmouth Should Scare Us

Of course, when one is selling ebooks direct, one needs to permit sampling to minimise returns and similar issues.
Of course, there's no software to do that...
