Do you think books sell so well that you need to pump them out so quickly?
Do you think there's such a shortage of books that you need to LLM your way into more?
Who needs bad books so much that they need to churn them out like slop?

Yes. All my characters have been informed by my relative powerlessness as a disabled person in society.
Kingston Public Hospital is specifically about a chronically ill patient in Jamaica and how the global powers inform how we are allowed to treat the sick.
