My approach to AI tools is that of a writer who dictates, discovery-writes, and values her own voice — so these posts are less about AI as ghostwriter and more about AI as a very capable secretary and research assistant. For the dictation and transcription side of my process, see The Craft of Writing. For the fanfiction side of my AI experiments, see Fanficcing with Claude.

AI & Image and Music Generation
AI tools aren’t just for text. The links below collect posts on Midjourney (used for concept art for the Space Austen and Hunter Healer King series), music generated primarily but not exclusively via Suno, and video posts — a mix of AI book promotional videos, earlier AI video experiments, and other content.
