Human Written: It's sad it has to be said!
Welcome to my corner of the ancient world. I'm Jay Penner — bestselling author of historical fiction set in ancient Egypt, Rome, Mesopotamia, and India.
Yes. I write every post myself. I write my books myself (why else do I need a year to write three?)
Every post you read on my blog, and every book I have published, is written by me, a human author. In an era of increasing AI-generated content, I believe in the enduring value of human creativity, research, and the unique perspective that comes from personal passion for history.
I have my own tone, voice, and style, and I prefer to keep it that way than dull it into an average of all good English.
I’ve used em-dashes since 2017, so please let me keep my em-dashes!
Thank you for supporting human-authored literature.
