Templar Traitor is my 22nd novel, so I should be used to this online BS by now. But this one-star really hurts. I shouldn't admit it – that's what these bunts want, to hurt you. But it really stings, dammit!

ANOTHER Robin Hood from me! I have revamped "Robin Hood and the Castle of Bones", one of mine from way back in 2020. It has a new cover by the brilliant Dave Slaney, and I have weeded out a lot of typos in the text. Will re-publish it in a couple of days time. Hope you enjoy it #booksky

AI is stealing my IP, along with everyone else's. It lists 32 of my books that LibGen is "scraping" to train AI bots. This is outright theft. They do NOT have my permission. #booksky

I have enjoyed a spirited debate on another site about this cover of one of my Viking books, published nearly four years ago. Opinion was divided. Can I ask Blueskyers – do you like it? Do you hate it? Would you buy the book based only on this cover? Or does it seem a bit hackeyned to you?
