You have probably seen “human vs. AI” recognition tests. The question: can a human reader tell a story written by a fellow human writer from a story written by AI?

An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" is a short story by Ambrose Bierce.
My story, which is a tribute to this, keeps garnering rejections. I began to suspect magazines first readers don't know it, and are scared by the unconventional structure.

This stunning YA book cover image was made by Grok today. It's a 14-year-old boy wizard and a 14-year-old girl psychic. There is an evil soldier in the background. I'm not making it up. AI is our future.

In this dark comedy, Vladimir Ilyich Lenin is resurrected in modern Russia, gets upset with Putin, immigrates to America, bypasses the "natural born Citizen" Constitutional clause with help from a billionaire, and runs a big, beautiful campaign for President.

Some languages have accusative cases. The AI luddites try to drag them into English. This is AI! If you used an AI image for your cover, that must mean you used generative AI for your writing, too.

I have 6,600 followers on Facebook and 7,500 followers on X. It does almost nothing for me for writing acceptance or sales. When I sold my first book to Counterpoint, there was almost no social media. Go figure.
