Thanks! Adventure Fantasy (+ romance). A competent couple who like each other from the start, so no E2L needed. Here's the cover: e-book only for now.

I just posted a video on TikTok: You don't know if something was written by AI.

Think the presence of em-dashes and certain syntax or style is a give-away? Think again. I bust that idea, and show my work.

@j.r.redstone over at the 'tok. Check it out and let me know what you think.

OK, another great question came up about character portraits during the development phase (creating the char. profile, pre-draft). I've been using video game engines for about 25 years to visualize characters. These are from Unreal 4 engine.

Meet Sheliak - a gravity-defying thief from a world with three moons who came seeking a legendary emerald and found something far more valuable. They treat gravity as a suggestion and express themselves with the kind of technical precision that turns simple thoughts into overcomplicated poetry.

OK, since someone asked (TY for asking!):
Meet Astara - a platinum-haired bard who weaponizes music and strategic charm for her debut as Lord Winterfield's newest spy.
