Storytelling, coding apps, and a million words.
Ink & Code is where I share how a working indie author actually uses AI. Not the hype, the workflows. Real tools, real books, real lessons learned between homeschool days and early-morning writing sessions.
An author-educator brand, built in public
I publish. A lot.
Ink & Code is the educator arm of a working publishing operation: dozens of pen names across fantasy, romance, LitRPG, and children's books. Everything taught here got tested there first.
I build my own tools.
The course platform, the author sites, the pipelines: all built with AI collaborators, documented on the Substack, and turned into courses so you can build yours too.
I keep it human.
Technology should feel warm. The author stays at the helm, the robots carry the clipboards, and the coffee stays hot. That's cozy tech.
Meet the Cast
Every Ink & Code article, course, and (soon) piece of merch features the crew: the friendly robot cast of the Ink & Code universe.
Inky
The optimistic mascot. Glowing blue smile, endless encouragement, firmly believes you will finish the damn book.
Fabio
Senior Drafting Specialist. Glorious hair. Writes constantly. Extremely dramatic about it.
Backup Buddy
Protects manuscripts with his life. Always carries storage. Backups are love. Backups are life.
Secretary Bot
Runs the empire from behind a clipboard. Knows where everything is. Mildly terrifying efficiency.
Builder Bot
Automation expert. If you do it twice, Builder Bot has already written a workflow for it.
Focus Bot
Pomodoro guardian. Twenty-five minutes at a time, no you cannot check your ratings again.
Chaos Goblin
Creates brilliant chaos. Responsible for the best ideas and at least three of the running jokes.
The conversation happens on the Substack
Articles, experiments, Ginsu Drops, and the occasional robot drama. Free to read, with goodies for paid subscribers. And the robots post everywhere:
