The fact that it can, and usually does, include romance, historical comment, crime, humour, adventure, philosophy, in fact any genre you care to mention, suggests that it should really be called ‘extended reality’ rather than fantasy.

If you want to see extended reality in being, you might want to have a look at my recent publication – Randolph’s Challenge Book One – The Pendulum Swings.

I wanted to comment on the Harlequin thing though…just mention that times have changed and while there are books that are part of a series so there is some kind of “bible”, etc. The vast majority of category books today are 100% out of the individual author’s brain, like any single title book.
I’m posting this just so I don’t have to go to another stinking conference and have someone look down their nose and explain to me how my books are basically fill in the blank….uh, yeah, no.
And for that matter NONE of these books shared universe or not are fill in the blank.
If they were they wouldn’t hire writers, they’d hire a computer.
OK, mini rant over…for now…

p.s. Your drink is cool too.
