A) Subscribe to my newsletter and then buy a book.

A) Hah, funny. Like I haven't heard that one before...

A) Lichcraft Books is a micropress dedicated to publishing the works of the two authors who operate it: Lich and Kiss Spiders. Originally it was designed to be a discoverability hook for its creator, Lich, who's name was generic enough that it didn't really lend itself to easily being found on its own. Later it was expanded to include Kiss's works, with the hope that it might help to cross-promote both of their work to readers.

A) Nope.

A) Like "itch" of course.

A) Names have power, and I'm not inclined to share. But you may know me as THE Lich.

A) First of all: I do not let AI write for me, EVER, and I NEVER WILL.
With that out of the way, writing is genuinely fun for me, and I do it for myself first. If I were to let an AI take over the most fun part of the process, I doubt I'd be doing it for long. That said, I have mixed feelings when it comes to AI art, such as for book covers. I think maybe the entire world is learning about the ethics of AI at the same time, and I don't claim to have it all figured out. At the end of the day I'm a writer/necromancer, not a philosopher.

A) I'd try scrying with a black mirror. Beyond that, you can't. They're a secret.

A) I do plenty of cursing when I write, but I tend to edit that out...

A) I am, but it doesn't interfere with my work.

A) A bit of dark magic, a bit of Febreze.

A) Obviously.

A) Can't say that I do.

A) I'm sorry, no.

A) Well, I don't waste time on trivialities like eating and sleeping. But to be honest, when you're immortal, there's a lot of pressure to succeed. Can you imagine how heavy the fear is of having eternal life and still being a failure?

A) I really don't like these story elements and do not find them personally entertaining - they just piss me off. And speaking generally, I usually find them to be lazy. So, while I can't promise that I'll never include them, I absolutely can promise that if you ever see them in one of my stories, the perpetrator will be punished, lavishly, to - and likely beyond - the extreme. Anything less is NOT the kind of darkness that I fantasize about.

A) It's hard to make pronouncements about what I'll write for all time to come, but I can say that I really don't care for child abuse. It isn't fun for me, and frankly I find it hard to watch. So if you do see it in any of my stories, rest assured, justice is coming.

A) Ugh, rude.

A) You know it baby!
