All this 'oh you must use AI, it's the second coming' has me scratching my head. I LOVE everything about researching & writing my books. I love that the work drives me crazy, invades my dreams, interrupts my walks. I love the challenge. This is living! Pity they've given up on themselves.
Nice!

I apologize for the blatant self-promo, but I'm still looking for a job and so shares on this would be much appreciated! I have a couple copies of MIDNIGHT ON BEACON STREET and SHIVA left that can be signed and personalized. I also have three different poetry prints I wrote and designed myself.

This week I am asking Why Haven't You Read The Resurrectionist by @kathleea.bsky.social this is easily one of my favorite retellings of Frankenstein and one of my favorite books of all time period! #booksky 📚💙 📚🩸
Why Haven’t You Read The Resurrectionist by Kathleen S. Allen!?
To one's surprise I am asking Why Haven't You Read a Frankenstein retelling. Seriously though why haven't you!? To be fair I don't believe I've ever met anyone as obsessed with not just the original tale but retellings of it as I am. As I said in my original review of this Shelley's story is timeless because not only does everyone interpret a little differently, but, whether it's a reread of the original or a retelling there is always some new thing to take away from it.
