Eh fine. Not bothering to quote anyone but it's as fun an idea as any.
Here's the first paragraph of my first novel, Blackcloak, published in 2015 and written in the folly of late-stage youthful fatalism.
It has "look I am a serious writer trying very hard here" written all over it.

Right. So by that logic, a nuclear strike isn't an act of hostility either.
Please do not underestimate the gaslighting these people attempt *every fucking day*.

Yep, I am sure the court will be very impressed by the erudite reasoning and sound argumentation of renowned legal expert...Adolf Hitler.
Or maybe the shitbag just wants to swear on it.
Btw: this guy is two small degrees of separation away from the anti-immigrant March for Australia movement.

Sometimes a double A game surprises me with its writing. It might be a one-liner (Jack responding to an infodump with "nonsense/bullshit" in SOPFFO) or a running gag (passive voice being called out in Disciples: Liberation). Here's a doozie from Veil of the Witch. This game is my current (anti)drug.

That last line makes me wish, just for once, the maga fuckers were right. So far, crickets. As fucking usual. Let's just keep cheering on the systematic carving up of Palestine...

![Today, Jason Beeferman and Emily Ngo of Politico reported on 2,900 pages of messages exchanged on the messaging app Telegram between leaders of the hardline pro-Trump factions of Young Republican groups in New York, Kansas, Arizona, and Vermont. In the edgy messages, the leaders used racist themes and epithets freely and cheered slavery, rape, gas chambers, and torturing their opponents. They expressed admiration for Adolf Hitler.
One of them wrote to the others, “If we ever had a leak of this chat we would be cooked [for real for real].”

A satirical pic of my favourite antifa member, who actually said (roughly translated from Aramaic), "Fuck your temples and fuck your monopolies and fuck your markets and fuck your moneychangers and fuck your bankers, I am the LAW!" like Judge Dredd, only with the actual power of God on His side. ✝️✊

Holy shit. They're literally inventing an enemy by projection and demonising a term that should be a given as GOOD in the modern civilised world. Antifascism. Is. Good.
I have seen family members use the word "antifa" as though it's analogous with actual terrorist organisations and I just can't.

Have books, will sell.
Will also just give said books to your literary diet, if buying isn't an option. And these days, I imagine justifying a random indie purchase is no easy task. So try before you (maybe don't) buy. Readers are priceless to me, so why not show that in the most literal sense?

Note: I didn't write Greenthorne. A colleague did. I just promoted it, because it is very good.
