I’ve decided that May will be #BookList Month! Each day there will be a new category. #Authors, if your #Book fits that category, comment with a link to it. #Readers, bookmark interesting categories to find new books.

The category for May 23rd is: any book where the main character is male

Some #authors forgot to remove clear evidence that #AI had helped write their books

The passage of time is different when dusk has died
the trees are blacker than shadow and can only be seen under the cloudy haze of the moon
it’s like there is a lady playing with father time’s hourglass
letting the sands leak out so that earth’s natural satellite can have its own high noon

I'll be at the Pat Porter Active Living Center in Steinbach for the Manitoba Author Fair! It's a free event. Come say hi!

Date: September 13, 2025 - 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

through ancient trees
dead leaves
mossy stone
hearty epiphytes
this is the place I’ve been daydreaming of

Poor fictional characters who always have to live in interesting times

What if your protagonist is also your antagonist? In the words of Marty McFly, “woah, that’s heavy.” #writing #writingcommunity #amwriting #author #authors #authorsofmastodon @bookstodon

Feeling joyful today: I’m grateful that #editing for all of my #physician–#authors gives me #opportunities to #learn constantly. These are such highly #intelligent #professionals.

Habt Ihr manchmal das Gefühl, dass bei manchen Büchern, die Ihr geschrieben habt, nicht euer Verstand die Feder geführt hat, sondern eine höhere Instanz und der Autor als Werkzeug für eine Botschaft benutzt wurde?

Do you sometimes have the feeling that some of the books you have written were not inspired by your own mind, but by a higher authority and the author was used as a tool to spread a message?
