James D. McEwan
Welcome to my site—thanks for visiting.
Here you’ll find blurbs for all of my self-published books, as well as a rudimentary blog page where I post random snippets about my author adventure. I don’t sell directly, but the “Books” section contains info pages with links to Amazon.
What Do I Write?
It’s easier to say what I don’t write: commercial mass-market fiction.
I started my writing journey to explore new worlds—not regurgitate old ones. When I was growing up as a kid, I had the immense privilege of being surrounded by truly creative and imaginative friends. None of us slotted into societal boxes. I had the same journey through university. It’s not a choice I consciously made, but I’m a nonconformist by peer design.
My books cover fantasy, dystopian futures, post-cyberpunk, and contemporary lit-fiction (with a smidge of magic). All my work focuses on creating multi-faceted characters with a strong emphasis on storytelling through dialogue.
Do I Use GenAI?
No.
Writing is a creative art form, developed from ideas and refined through every draft and edit. I choose to toil away at a keyboard, typing every single word you read. Typing a prompt into a machine to create a book is not writing. It is a soulless grift used by some to profit with minimum effort. Every LLM received its training through millions of stolen literary works. GenAI is the greatest copyright theft in history.
