John Oliver gets it, as usual. This is one of the best episodes of Last Week Tonight I've seen so far. Gen AI is theft. Those who use it are not authors or artists, they're grifters profiting from real creatives.

Watch the AI Slop episode here:

Screenshots from Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. Mikey Shulman, Co-founder and CEO of SUNO at a podcast with some dude: It’s not really enjoyable to make music now. It takes a lot of time. It takes a lot of practice. You need to get really good at an instrument. Or really good at a piece of production software. I think the majority of people don't enjoy the majority of the time they spend making music. John Oliver on the set of Last Week Tonight: Okay. First, and this is a hot take, I think a lot of people might actually enjoy making music. It’s probably why they were doing it for the 40 000 years of human history prior to AI. But if that’s not you, and you would rather make music by simply pressing a button, then good news, you don’t need AI. There are already a wide variety of toys made for babies just like you.

Just finished listening to the first episode of @evalangston.bsky.social's new podcast The Long Road to publishing. She's a great host and she and her guests are very knowledgeable. Highly recommend it.

Apologies if things go up slightly later than scheduled for a bit. I'm having some issues - internet stability chief amongst them. Stuff should be uploaded within 24 hours of its originally scheduled time if not sooner.

I've been struggling a lot with health issues lately, so I've been a bit of a ghost on social media. It might be a while until my activity becomes consistent again, so here's everything of mine coming out this month in a neat little package.

Drumroll please!

The perfect bathroom book is here!

It's full of bite-sized horror tales so you can sneak away for wee-breaks! (Pun intended).

And with any luck, it'll scare the sh** out of you! (I'm so sorry, I couldn't resist!)

Is it time for another shameless plug? Sure is! Last week I launched a second podcast where guests get to rave about their favourite media, Ficsation (Episode One with @marvmissy.bsky.social). I also put out an SAB episode about The Swarm by Frank Schatzing, one of my favourite books. Links below!

It sure is fun doing the majority of your work on the internet when your internet has been borked for the better part of a fortnight if not longer.

If you're curious about my books but don't want to spend the money right now, good news! Each month, an audio chapter of Domino is going up on YouTube for free. The Prologue and Chapter One went up together this month.

I might not be the most successful writer out there, but I do get to work with a lot of really cool people: other authors, artists, content creators, editors, voice actors, animators etc. It's one of the perks.

Back in November, I talked about #ghosts and #ghoststories with @radfordwrites.bsky.social on Stories Without Borders.

If you'd enjoy a deep-dive into storytelling and the many facets of ghost stories, this is for you. 👻

I got to do something very cool and host a talk with the creative producer behind Here's Humphrey and related content. It was very interesting to learn about the behind-the-scenes workings of an iconic children's media brand and how Kris became the brand's custodian.

Hey, if you're flooding an already hyper-competitive industry with AI-generated slop, a sincere middle finger to you from all of us who actually work hard to write and publish our books.
