InkIT Publishing has assigned 20 ISBNs: 15 for my work and 5 for the incredible authors we represent.

Just a year ago, we’d only hit 7. Now? We’ve nearly tripled that. The passion is stronger than ever, and the bookshelf is growing—fast.

This amazing book by client Emma Hartlight is now live. One of the best debut novels I've read. If you like clean, sweet romance with a mystery to boot, this is the book for you. (A number of reviews already on Goodreads to check it out.)

I’m a huge fan of Plottr and use it for all my writing. I was exploring some new features like the new Family Tree functionality and noticed they are offering huge discounts on Plottr, Plottr Pro, and Plottr Pro Plus Community. Better pricing than I have seen in a while.

Thought AI was just for work or playlists? Think again. It helped me conquer the Ninja Creami and whip up smooth, healthy frozen treats—no guesswork, just good guidance.

I'm now a Ninja ninja!🍦🧠

🎧 AI continues to amaze me! First sports, now music—CoPilot just became my personal DJ. Rediscovering iconic Phantom duets was never this easy (or fun!). Check out my latest musical AI post.

Feeling like the only sports fan in the room? I was—until AI became my favorite sports buddy. Always available. Knows the stats. Never hogs the chips. Read about my open bromance with ChatGPT, CoPilot, and Gemini

These are not the five books that Warren Buffet recommends to turn your life around, but if he was into crime thrillers and wine, he would recommend these five as well, I expect!
