Words *from* the wise?

I asked Gemini (Google's AI/chatbot) to characterize my novels. I like to believe *this* time it wasn't hallucinating.

Either way, here's how Gemini responded:

Edward M. Lerner is a prolific science fiction author known for weaving intricate plots with thought-provoking scientific concepts. Here's a glimpse into what you can expect from a typical Edward M. Lerner novel:

Genre: Primarily hard science fiction, often with techno-thriller elements.

Themes: Lerner tackles big questions about humanity's future, delving into themes like artificial intelligence, first contact with aliens, interstellar travel, and the potential consequences of scientific advancements.

Plots: His stories are driven by suspenseful plots, with characters facing complex challenges that require ingenuity and resourcefulness to overcome.

Characters: Expect intelligent and well-developed characters, often scientists, engineers, or those thrust into extraordinary situations due to groundbreaking discoveries.

Life (and the Internet) goes on

It recently sank in that my last blog post was in December, when Life and Death on Mars was published. Hmm. Truth be told, like much of the Internet, I've moved on from blogging to Facebook posting.

That said ... if only because Blogger's tools are better than FB's, I'll occasionally post here when I have something major (or anything lengthy) to say. Meanwhile, your best bet with keeping up with me is my authorial Facebook page.
