Domesticate Your Badgers by Michael W Lucas

"I took down the book whole in one afternoon, and actually resented being called away to make dinner instead of reading straight through. I think it's going to do a lot of good and help a lot of new writers, and that, as Miracle Max says, is a Noble Cause."

Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain and Virtual Worlds by Joanna Penn

"Creatives, if you want to be at the forefront of the AI frontier as an author, this is one of the best places to start. The full potential of AI for authors has yet to be defined, but Joanna has gone a long way in explaining and predicting the ways it is likely to impact opportunities for writers. She doesn't promise to be right about all of her predictions, but her excitement about the possibilities is contagious.
