August 6 question - What is the most unethical practice in the publishing industry?

Apparently, some AI-generated books are plagiarizing the words and works of actual authors and, as if that weren't bad enough, making money for someone else. 

I enjoy doing my own work, my own writing. I don't understand this preference for computer-generated creativity. Time for a topic change!

Good Evening!

I'm excited to announce the pending publication of my next novella, JEWELS OF DARTERRA. 

Followers of this blog had a chance to read most of this story back in April during the A to Z Challenge.

Please help me decide on a cover.


What led Jaildarn to become the cause of such annihilation? Could Belp have prevented all this death, and if so, why didn't he? Do some people having more options impair the existence of others who were born with a distinct path and purpose? Jewels of Darterra is a fantasy about a world as it collapses into change.

I would love COVER FEEDBACK.

Left or right?

Darterra is a moon world. Belp, the main character, has his life and identity deeply intertwined with stones, rocks, and mountains.
