It broke my heart to see this article calling for help to make a Scots AI. The leid is already vulnerable.

The rise of AI is an abomination. People can think and create without it.

English literacy is already dropping because of AI. Don’t let it happen to Scots too.

I’m in the process of adding wee polishes to my writing nook so that I’ve got the perfect spot to scrive and make videos about my books. Scots is, after aw, an oral language!

On a mission to get everything in order so I’m balancing my books as well as I can with my day job.

I do think – and I’ve always thought – that ‘Cathy, get yer Dancin Shoes Oan’ is the book that will take my writing to the next level.

My third novel and fifth book. It is hilarious, important and needed. The Scots ‘Bridget Jones’.

The follow-up to ‘The Tongue She Speaks’.
