I've probably reread this book and its sequels at least 5 times. They're warm, comforting stories in a lived-in world. People are mostly doing the best they can in the circumstances they have.

#Booksky Sporadic reminder that we put out a new book last week and it’s terrific! POINT OF HOPES (Astreiant #1) is available at Weightless Books as well as everywhere else and it’s an excellent read! weightlessbooks.com/point-of-hop...

If you’re able, become IZ’s 66th monthly patron today and help feed the foundries and power the engines of INTERZONE so it can continue to publish stories as sublime and as satisfying as ‘The Clockwork Heart of Heaven’ by Roby Davies, and not go the way of the dimetrodons interzone.press/patreon ✨

Get in on that time-travelling ape death squad × planetary secret history × incisive art commentary action, only in INTERZONE #299 scarletferret.com/magazines/in... weightlessbooks.com/interzone-299/ And Roby’s ‘The Ship’, reprinted in IZ Digital, is not to be missed interzone.digital/the-ship/

This is very nice and should be an extremely basic addition for every studio & publisher and it has unfortunately gotten to the point where if they don’t say something like this, you can’t really trust them until they do

New language for our publisher guidelines? "We don't knowingly sell titles that employ generative AI in any capacity. If we find out a particular title was created using AI, we reserve the right to remove AI-generated portions or delete the title from our offerings entirely." Opinions welcome

I've added a disclaimer to my website: "Redfern does not use generative AI for any part of their writing at any stage." I suggest other authors to the same. If you don't want to write, then don't be a writer!
