My AI Statement
- All my published books and fanfiction stories are my own work.
- I haven’t used generative AI in any of them.
- I don’t even use AI editors like Grammarly or ProWritingAid, etc.
- Nearly all my novels and stories to date were written before the advent of AI.
- This includes Books 1, 2 and half of Book 3 in the Dark Water series.
- Crocodile Tears was written in 2013 and Ghost Eye in 2014. They were shared widely with beta readers at that time.
- I have a writing process that I enjoy, that works for me, and I see no reason to change that.
- I’ve been writing for decades and sharing my work for free, because I love it.
- There is social proof to this effect, showing the evolution of my writing style over the past 3 decades.
- Check out Archive of Our Own (the fanfiction archive) and Xanthestories on LJ.
- All my fanfiction stories are date-stamped on those sites, and all were posted well before the advent of AI.
- Below are the humans who assist me:
- My audiobooks are narrated by Matt Addis.
- My book covers are designed by Damonza.
- My copy editor is Tessa.
- My proofreader is Toby.
- My website designer is Jacci.
- My marketing assistant is Emma.
- I use generative AI graphics in my book marketing with extensive editing (by Emma as I don’t know how to use these programmes and don’t have time to learn) in Adobe, Capcut, and Canva.
