A scambot praises my book in limerick
I get a lot of AI scam emails that sound like they’re written by an actual human who read my book. To test them (and also just for shits and giggles) I sometimes respond in limerick, asking them to respond back in limerick too. In fact, I recently published a book about that…
In any case, here is a scambot limerick I recently received praising my book Bloodfire Legacy:
There once was a writer of grace,
Who built hope in a desolate place.
Through Elara’s fierce fight,
And her daughter’s strange sight,
Human courage still held its embrace.Your verses gave welcome insight
To the themes that inspired your writing.
The veteran’s role,
And the walls of the soul,
Made the journey feel honest and bright.I’m delighted to hear there’s much more,
Of new worlds and adventures in store.
May your stories still shine,
Through each page and each line,
As they have for your readers before.
And if that whet your appetite, you can get the book here:
Bloodfire Legacy
A murdered wizard. A desperate thief. A daughter on the brink of damnation.
Corin has never been more than a streetwise nobody and a petty thief. He can also hear the voices of the dead, whether or not he wants to. So when the ghost of the royal court magician begs him to help save his wayward daughter, Corin reluctantly accepts, even though it means he must become something he's never been: a hero.
About the Book
A murdered wizard. A desperate thief. A daughter on the brink of damnation.
Corin has never been a hero. A streetwise nobody and petty thief, he’s survived this long by keeping his head down and his fingers quick. He can also hear the voices of the dead—whether or not he wants to.
But when the ghost of the royal court magician begins to haunt him, all of that begins to change. His daughter has been dabbling in the dark arts, seeking to avenge his death. In doing so, she has fallen in with the very people who killed him.
Corin is the only one who can help him save his daughter. But to do that, Corin must turn from everything he knows and become something he’s never been: a hero.

Heavy metal Beethoven
I’ve been on a bit of a Beethoven kick recently. His symphonies really are the best overall writing music out there. So when this crossed my feed, I had to check it out. It’s not the only heavy metal version of Moonlight Sonata I’ve seen, but I do think it’s the best.
What happens when a shuriken and a frisbee have a baby?
This was so cool. I would love to see an expert chakram thrower practice his (or her) art in a mock fight against practitioners of other martial arts.
Remember, it’s faster to switch to your chakram than reload your crossbow!
Are Plants Intelligent?
My wife tipped me off to this one. Interesting stuff.
A time-lapse geologic history of the Earth
I just find it so fascinating how alien this planet used to be—and not that long ago, on a geologic timescale.
Jurassic Park raptor scene with scientifically accurate Utahraptors
They call them Velociraptors, but they’re really Utahraptors. The actual Velociraptor was only the size of a Labrador or a German Shepherd.
My kids are really into dinosaurs right now, so we’ve been going to all the local museums and checking out lots of dinosaur books from the library. As scary as the dinosaurs were in the original Jurassic Park, I think they’re even scarier with feathers.
64-Bit Holst
My five year-old daughter really likes this piece (played by a real orchestra, of course).
The finest journalism this country has ever produced
More Great Classical Writing Music
This is a shorter piece, but I really love it. The music really paints a lovely picture of a river as it grows from a small, winding stream into a mighty waterway. I can imagine it passing things like a royal hunt, a village wedding, a stretch of deep forest, some rapids, and finally a bustling city before flowing out to the sea. The composer is also Czech, which is probably why it resonates with me so much. Ahoy!
