Greetings. Welcome to my latest attempt at social media.
(I'd just write stories if I could, but marketing isn't free, so here I am.)
I write gritty sci-fi, weird horror, & pagan fantasy.
I don't use any A.I. for my stories, books, or games.
Do come & see if my writing & your imagination get along.

Author: Julian Miles, Staff Writer Thirty seconds after landing I'm the last combatant standing. I'd like to say it's down to skill, but it's the luck of the algorithm. We went in with 501 effectives. Their response gauged our forces, dropped a preset margin of error,... https://wp.me/p6C8jg-UQj

My word. 200 followers. Thank you!
An' welcome to the world of a natural born antisocial who became an author... Oops. 😁
Consequently I'm not good at marketing (but great at writing stories).
Hopefully your imagination and my writing will get along. Come and see. I have a lot of books: lothp.org

Hey, #booksky, I had the pleasure of being interviewed by the folk over at RIF (Read Indie Fantasy).
It's A Month of Rain & Reads, and it's Tuesday, which means it's Interview Day.

Today, we hear from British multi-genre author Julian M. Miles (@rafellin.bsky.social), about the life he's lived, the stories he's told, and tales yet to come: www.readindiefantasy.com/amorar-inter...
