A few people have asked me if I plan to self-publish “50 Tints of ICE” eventually. The answer is I don’t know. I don’t trust Amazon, for two reasons. One, they might decide to ban the book from their site and not pay me any revenue, like they tried to do with Camp of the Saints a few days ago. Two, they might connect this pen name with the other pen names I may or may not have on their platform and shadowban the lot of them. Perhaps this is all just paranoia run amok, though.

50 Tints of ICE Chapter 5 Diana&#39;s breath caught as the agent pushed himself up from the chair. His boots thudded against the hardwood floor—three deliberate steps that brought him to the edge of the bed. She pressed back into the headboard, metal digging into her spine, handcuffs clinking with the movement. He loomed there. Tall.

I’m not gonna lie, I’m a bit worried that if I use AI to write, it will turn me into a lousy writer. You might think you could use it just to make a quick buck on pulp hackery, and save your true writing genius for novels that actually matter. But good prosody is a skill that needs constant exercise to keep limber, and if you’re always offloading your sentence construction to a machine, you’re going to lose that skill eventually. It’s like using a forklift to move stones into place for a wall y...

50 Tints of ICE Chapter 4 He opened her door, and the desert heat rushed in to replace the air conditioning. Diana didn&#39;t move. &quot;Out.&quot; Not a request. She stepped down, legs unsteady after sitting handcuffed for an hour. the agent&#39;s hand caught her elbow—firm, impersonal. Guiding her toward the front door like a handler with livestock. The agent&#39;s fingers flew over a keypad by the entrance. Then the door opened and the house swallowed them whole. Diana h...
