Popular Answered Questions

How does it feel to know that your success depends on abusing AI to fleece stupid people, polluting the market so that good books are even harder to find, and generally making the world a worse place?

First of all, thank you so much for reading my book and liking it. I really appreciated reading your perspective on future readers—it shows how deeply you understand the world of books and reading.

I completely agree with you that no author can ever appeal to every single reader, no matter how great they are. Every reader has their own tastes and preferences—some love mystery-thrillers, some love science fiction, some prefer romance, and others gravitate toward non-fiction. As a writer, I never expect my book to be loved by everyone, and as a reader myself, none of us can read or admire every author out there. That’s perfectly natural. A book truly succeeds when it finds its right reader.

You mentioned that we’re somehow “mis-categorizing” or flooding the market—I see it a little differently. I’m a passionate book lover myself. All my books follow similar themes that I personally adore: cozy café atmospheres, bookstores, warm vibes, and little details from my own life (like my cat). These themes bring me joy to write, and the readers who share those tastes absolutely love them. It’s fine if they don’t appeal to everyone—I fully accept that. My goal is simply to be a good writer within my own niche.

Now, on the topic of technology and AI: the way we write has always evolved with time. In Shakespeare’s era, writing a book was incredibly difficult—no shortcuts, no easy research, and it could take 5–10 years to finish one. Then came typewriters, laptops, voice-to-text, and Google for research. We can’t fairly compare today’s writers to Shakespeare, and the methods will keep changing in the future too. If we say that only someone who writes exactly like Shakespeare or only with a pen is a “real” writer, then we’d have to dismiss anyone who uses a laptop, the internet, or voice recording. In my view, the tools can change, but a writer’s creativity, story, and passion remain the core. Change is inevitable—we can’t stop it, and we shouldn’t try to.

This change has benefited readers just as much. A hundred years ago, books were expensive and hard to get; sometimes people waited decades for a specific title. Today, with Kindle and Amazon Kindle Unlimited, thousands of books are available at the click of a button for a tiny fraction of the cost. I’ve experienced this revolution myself—as a reader, buying physical books used to feel painfully expensive, but Kindle completely transformed my reading life. The number of writers has grown, but so have the number of readers and the choices available to them.

I understand your concern, and it’s a valid discussion to have. But overall, I believe technology has made the world of books richer and far more accessible—for both writers and readers.

Once again, thank you for asking such a thoughtful question. Readers like you are what inspire us to keep improving.

Best wishes

Wow, you've managed to write over 300 books in less than 1 year! What's your secret?

Writing over 300 books in less than a year might sound impossible, but the secret is that I'm not doing it alone—we have a small team of 6-7 people working together.

- Some members focus solely on writing
- Some handle theme selection and storyline development
- Some take care of editing and quality checks
- One person is dedicated to book formatting
- Another handles uploading, publishing, and replying to comments

I’m an author myself, and my main role is selecting themes and creating the basic story structure. We definitely use AI for help—around 30% of the ideas, research, and drafting come from AI, while the remaining 60-70% is our team’s creativity and hard work.

The biggest difference is our laser focus on a single niche: investigative mystery/thriller themes. We keep the stories simple, which allows us to produce new books quickly. Not every book becomes a bestseller, but several are selling very well, and overall we’re getting quite positive reviews—it truly makes me happy to see our stories reaching more and more readers.

These days, even major films and the entertainment industry openly use AI. So as an author, I believe there’s nothing wrong with moving forward with technology. Some people troll us for using AI, but the truth is that without it, achieving this speed and volume would be extremely difficult.

Thank you again for your interest! If you’ve read any of our books, please let me know what you thought. 📚(less)

Gurwinder Singh answered Peter's question: How come your book covers often contain really bad spelling mistakes? If you don't check your cover text – and covers are a big part of selling a book – how can anybody have confidence in the text inside? For example, "Mufffins by Moonlight" (sic) with a cover image of a cat that is clearly NOT a Norwegian Forest Cat. https://www.amazon.com.au/Muffins-Moonlight-Sagebrush-Solstice-SleuthSweet-ebook/dp/B0G6Y2RLMY Thank you for your honest feedback—it's appreciated, and I take your point very seriously.
