In this Sat snip, Callie meets the insidious Rainer for the first time in a while. (Sorry for the slanted angle.)

Just read the opinion piece in @usatoday.com
What's really sad is that they feel they have to go with sarcasm to dodge presidential ire.

I'm liking vampires more lately, but only as villains. Fairies can either be cute and/or vicious, and I like that unpredictability.

I don't imagine Callie from "The Three Roses" likes to be scared. She was in a thieves' clan, and being startled during a burglary wasn't her idea of a good time.

My early MCs tended to be introverts, like Kane on the right. Callie is extroverted, though, and ironically so since she is/was a professional thief.

The elves once had large empires where creature comforts came from powerful magic ... until humans wreaked havoc on the Earth's ley lines in order to defeat the elves.

Believe in YOURSELF, not some fancy CPU. Want to write books? Read a lot first. Check out writing tips online. Learn from the best. Learn from the worst. Readers will appreciate consistency since they'll know it's all YOUR voice and no other.

This novel (by the Angry Video Game Nerd) is said to have sections with better writing quality than others, as if they've been written by someone else ... or put through Grammarly.
Authors, don't use Grammarly. Readers can tell.

Power-hungry? That's definitely Vincent in "A Price to Pay." He'll conquer the world for the sake of his undead brood.

Marketing advice:
Don't bother with Goodreads ads.
Expensive and not enough interest.
You're welcome.

Last time I posted a pic like this, it was on X/Twitter and I was called a sheep. Good on you, Nick!

Callie is a city girl, yet she'd love to visit the beach for the first time in years. Kane would like to visit a certain library and study with a steaming mug of coffee or mint tea.

Not worth it. The price, I mean, not you.

For this Saturday, allow me to share my favorite line from "Dune," which is just as striking today as it was for me two decades ago.

I'm not sure if I'll write again, but I came up with the idea of an old weary elf who suddenly wakes up as a child, back in a very important day of his life ...

Sal in "The Abyss" pursues power, for only through that can elves be regarded as equal to humans. She's reluctant, though, for she feels small in the grand scheme of things.

Melindra would like to have the powers of a vampire without having to be undead.
Sal would LOVE teleportation. Get into a house, steal some stuff, then get out, quick and easy,

Kane loves school! He especially doesn't mind lectures as long as training follows. Callie knows her letters but rarely studies even the basics, as she's mostly concerned with clan duties.

Okay, I'll admit that I've been making AI images for visual gags ... but this "make your own AI influencer?" Shit is really getting out of hand. Who in their right minds would want to follow a fake influencer? #Aiart #AIimages

Cool, I should be on the lookout for anything that resembles my books ...
