A recent spate of op-eds on AI and the death of thinking convinced me to opine. Lacking the credentials to write something scholarly, I decided to do what I do better: being silly. Here's my latest blog post, a satirical take on the issue:

What if your protagonist is also your antagonist? In the words of Marty McFly, “woah, that’s heavy.” #writing #writingcommunity #amwriting #author #authors #authorsofmastodon @bookstodon

The print editions of: “You are a Strategist: Use No-BS OKRs to Get Big Things Done” are now available via independent retailers!

Because eBooks are great and all, but there’s just nothing like that “new book smell.”

My latest story is out in the world! Medical science fiction (yes, the title is a play on an early Prozac slogan). But also about #immigrant struggles and family drama. Enjoy!

@bookstodon it's pub day for my JEHANNE DARC:BOOK ONE, and four days from my launch reading at the
Rainbow Book Fair in the West Village. Those who pre-ordered the ebook will find it on your devices. But this week is a test. #AuthorsofMastodon

Okay, after chewing on this topic for a few weeks, I've worked up the courage and wrote the blog. Authors, we need to talk about Substack (and leopards).

I’m noticing a trend of having longer chapters. Or maybe it’s me? At any rate, the chapters in my #WIP are a fair bit longer than they were in my previous book. Not sure how much will get cut come time to edit. #AmWriting #author #authorsofmastodon #writingcommunity

One of the things I enjoy most about seeing people's reactions to my books is that moment right after they've read two or three of them, when their previously-hidden connections become apparent and they start freaking out. Good times.
