A Note on AI & Creative Tools

I use a variety of modern tools, including generative AI, throughout my creative process. Depending on the project, that might involve writing, editing, illustration, music, narration, animation, or video production.

These tools allow me to explore ideas and bring my fictional worlds to life in ways that simply weren't possible for an independent author a few years ago.

But the stories, characters, creative direction, and final decisions are mine. I decide what works, what doesn't, what gets changed, and what makes it into the finished work.

I'm not interested in producing endless content for the sake of it. I'm interested in telling stories I love, making things I'm proud of, and giving readers new ways to experience the worlds I've created.

The tools are part of the process. The taste, judgement, and responsibility remain mine.
