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\u2026<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In any case, here is a scambot limerick I recently received praising my book Bloodfire Legacy<\/em>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

And if that whet your appetite, you can get the book here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n
