I’m not perfect. I’m prolific.
“No AI, aliens, cyborgs, or intelligent light forms are used in the creation or editing of my titles. My books are products of my crazy human neurons.”
No AI is used in any of my creative processes. I let it check my punctuation and grammar. I use it to help me keep track of my characters (80+ books means 1000 characters I have to remember) instead of my messy lists. I have used it in social posts but have since restricted any mockups, concepts, and character designs to only subscribers due to backlash. I just don’t have the energy or time to argue.
I do everything: branding, writing, editing, formatting, publishing, and marketing.

I try to keep my book prices low. In order to do that, I have to keep my costs low. So that means not outsourcing editing, cover design, etc.
Autocorrect is my biggest nemesis, especially with sci-fi terms and names I make up. My second biggest is internet lag because we live outside of town.
Any other errors are human made. It used to upset me to find I’d missed fixing mistakes in a published title. But as AI takes over everything and I go back to correct something, I remind myself that at least my work is genuine.
You get stories written in my natural voice, unaltered by AI, editors, or anything else. Of course, the narration will change a bit for each genre due to different readership expectations. But it’s really me. (It’s insane that I have to say that.)
Note: If you like correcting mistakes, you’re welcome to subscribe to any of my genre lists and send me your notes by replying to a newsletter. I welcome all feedback. (Though…I may or may not accept it.) I write the books for my readers, so I want them/you to enjoy the books. But I write what I do because that’s what my loyal readers have asked for.

I’ve always got a couple of books in progress at any given time. I dreamt of retiring my husband, but the reality is that I keep very little of what I make. Taxes where I live were about 42% last year. Then there’s the cost of operation. I keep telling myself…someday I’ll make more, but I have to work for it like anyone else. So I’m at 85 titles and counting.
