I’ve donated my article, “Take Me by the Hand: How the Danse Macabre Became Real,” to help raise funds for Into the Dark. 🌑

It’s available exclusively to Kickstarter backers. Even $1 helps bring this dark fantasy anthology to life.

Only 1 week left to join us! www.kickstarter.com/projects/all...

I’ve been struggling to try to get AI to create branded blog graphics for my website. I’ve never really liked the ones I’ve used, but I didn’t know what I was doing. Can anyone recommend an excellent AI program that will create perfectly branded graphics every time with the right prompt?

One of my favourite albums of this year is Love Will Probably Kill Me Before Cigarettes and Wine by Luke Spiller (of The Struts). Romantic, cinematic, glam rock with stunning sound: I play it A LOT. I highly recommend that you check it out! 🎶🎧
