He has written five books. Four are published under his own name, one of them written with his daughter. None of the three music business books, the two editions of The Artist’s Guide and Music Business For Dummies, used AI in any form. On the difference between publishing a book and holding authority, there is a podcast episode on Amazon best selling book claims, and a page on what a brand communications and optics strategist does that covers false authorship directly.
