First Cup of Coffee – March 23, 2026

I went on a bit of a rant today about writers using generative AI, along with a deepish dive into the Shy Girl controversy and why it really annoys me that I might have to declare I don't use that shite to write my books. SPOILER: I DON'T.

The video breakdown of SHY GIRL is here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbeKTa5xhZo
