Author Versus AI

As promised, here's a post I'm sharing about me working hard to catch up with everything that's been going on the past month with Author Versus AI while I've been sick. I've posted 3 videos on my blog and I still have several to go over the next couple of days.

To sum up: I read an excerpt from the novel I wrote in Week 22 (epic fantasy: Of Seas & Crowns) and read the summary and the excerpt from the novel I wrote in Week 23 (urban fantasy: The Red King of Chinatown).

That's all for today - have a great night!

Catching Up, Part 1 After being sick for so long, I have a lot of catching up to do in letting everyone know what's been going on with Author Versus AI! So, without further ado, here's my first grouping of videos to...

What a week! This morning, I started out my day on the podcast This Week In Indies (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEeZ7c2uAsI) and this afternoon, I finished my 21st book for Author Versus AI. Phew!

I also did something a bit fun (I hope). The novel this week is called Ruin of the Sceptre, and it's a book written from a short story, which in turn was written from a book. These different versions span about 30 years in my life. I thought it would be interesting to read a short excerpt from each one as a compare/contrast. They're all based around the same characters/story, but they reflect where I was in different points of my writing life.

Well, here they are: https://www.authorversusai.com/home/to-eltrand-and-beyond - hope you enjoy listening!

To Eltrand and Beyond... I started out this morning on the fabulous podcast This Week In Indies , and had a great time chatting with fellow authors Don Sawyer , Tricia Copeland , Steffanie Costigan , and host SM Hillman ....

I'm still zooming ahead in my Author Versus AI project (although I'm a tad late reading my excerpt from last week - but, hey, s**t happens. LOL). But I DID finish up The Greenhouse Binary - please enjoy an excerpt from the first chapter here: https://www.authorversusai.com/home/the-world-it-is-a-changing

And now I'm jumping into my new novel, Ruin of the Sceptre, a sword & sorcery novel with a convoluted history. It was a book I started writing as a teen, abandoned for 2 decades, resurrected as a short story about a decade ago and got published as "The Soldier's Choice" in Swords and Sorcery Magazine, and now I'm resurrecting it AGAIN as... you guessed it... a book. I've come full circle. 😅

I'll be back to read an excerpt from it on Sunday. Until then, have a fantastic week!

Okay, I'm heading into REALLY uncharted territory this week because I'm not just writing ONE book for Author Versus AI, I'm going to write TWO.

Why the heck am I doing this? I wrote a blog post about what this week means and where it might take me:

Week 19 - Western Romance This week, I'm headed into the wild, wild West with a Western romance novel called To Ride the River . BUT before I tell you more about it, I have to say that this week I'm going to tackle a brand...

I had a wonderful time at When Words Collide writing festival - I met some lovely writers and editors, as well as hanging out with friends and acquaintances from months past.

BUT... it did cause me to be a bit late in doing my posts about my novel from last week and the new novel from this week.

Last week, I finished and read an excerpt of my steampunk book here: https://www.authorversusai.com/home/off-into-the-stars and this week I started a YA book called The Bruises of Grandma Summer. You can get more info about it here: https://www.authorversusai.com/home/week-17-ya

Whew! Okay, I'm going to try to catch up on everything that I've fallen behind on (ha). Hope you all have an awesome week! :)

Off Into the Stars! I have to say that last week was a bit of a struggle (one reason why I'm a couple days late posting this). The main reason was because I was at the wonderful When Words Collide literary festival in...
