I guess I should introduce myself since the BookTok girlies are arriving.
Hi, I'm Avon! I write fairytale retellings, and the first three books of my series, The Beanseller Saga, are available on Amazon. Think Once Upon A Time meets the Three Musketeers, with a little bit of Bridgerton thrown in.

An unusual item has come into my collection, Mister Black’s Secret by Catherine Barr. At first it seems like an early example of ‘I can has cheezburger” speech but it was actually written in a shortlived teaching alphabet called ITA.

Harrison Ford says Troy Baker’s performance as Indiana Jones is proof that you don't need AI to replace actors
“You don’t need artificial intelligence to steal my soul. You can already do it for nickels and dimes with good ideas and talent. He did a brilliant job and it didn’t take AI to do it”
