Do you love #Aphrodite? She is the patroness of my writing and there are more than just a few stories I wrote about her spreading and enjoying love and lust...

Aphrodite - Erotic Mythology

Read erotic fiction about sexy Greek gods and thoroughly researched articles about life and sexuality in the ancient world.

Erotic Mythology

@blenderbrit
Indeed! It’s so very exhausting getting slop after slop of ai trash optimized articles, designed to maximize “engagement” over actually saying anything of value.

Read a fantastic article by @Joanwestenberg

Talks about writing for algorithms instead of human readers. With all this #Ai garbage being pump out it’s only going to get worse.

The Only Metrics That Matter

I don't run analytics tools on my blog or The Index. Why would I? I don’t write for numbers. I write for people. There are no ads, no sponsors, and no investors to placate with colorful graphs and charts. In my experience, most metrics measure the wrong things. Page

As is fairly obvious from my posts over the last couple of months, I have been playing catch-up with some wonderful review copies sent by British Library Publishing. I'm a huge of their Crime Classics and Women Writers releases, and so was very happy to pop back onto their list of reviewers. One author they've been championing recently is Christianna…

Tröööt! Jetzt gibt es auch den zweiten Band meiner Cosy-mit-Crime Serie.

Immer wieder schön, ein frisch gedrucktes Exemplar in den Händen zu haben. Nein, ich grinse gar nicht dämlich, ich bin einfach nur glücklich.

Pssst: Das eBook ist noch ein paar Tage lang zum Einführungspreis erhältlich.

And book 7 of the year...

Cosy & funny LitRPG that is very easy on the stats, so works for people who aren't fans of the genre.
Works 10 times better if you have a love for Legend of Zelda!
