Writer of cosy mysteries, other novels, and short stories. Travels in a campervan, eats cake and drinks tea a lot. Also gardens and photographs stuff. https://patsycollins.co.uk/
I don't use AI to write my short stories and novels. Please consider reading them, or others written by actual humans, rather than those which not even the 'authors' thought were worth spending time on.
