I'm offering the chance to see your name used for a character in my 8th Green Man book, to be published October 2025. The winning bidder can choose from one of three options to be discussed in strictest confidence – no spoilers! - and will be thanked in Acknowledgements. Do check out all the lots!

ok, a few hundred words in revisions and the book is sent to early readers, so now i'm going home to be more or less on vacation for two weeks. i hope.

Me, in private: I admit I'm more resigned about LLMs & image-based AI than angry Me just now to the normie who asked if I used any of it: NO! That shit steals from people like me! Him: well the words sure but the art-- Me: STEALS FROM PEOPLE LIKE ME. *ARTISTS*. TRYING. TO MAKE. A LIVING.
