AI Statement

All em dashes are my own… (Every last million of them)

I believe that Generative AI has no place in the creative process. I do not use Generative AI in my drafting or editing process. Additionally, I strive to use research sources have not used AI in their information gathering or writing processes. That includes an emphasis on sources that predate the wide-spread use of Generative AI.

The contract in place with my editor includes a no AI clause from both parties.

My current cover artist, Erin of EDHProfessionals has professed an anti-AI stance as well.

That being said, as AI infiltrates our daily lives, it has become increasingly difficult to verify the origins of stock images and graphics from places like Canva. I do my very best, but I am not a visual artist nor an expert in AI. I cannot guarantee with 100% certainty that none of the images used in my advertising or covers have been generated by AI.

If you suspect an image I have used has been created with Generative AI, please know it was unintentional and let me know so I can take it down immediately.

I know that my books, and those of nearly every other published author, were used to train at least one LLM, and likely several more. There is a reason that AI has certain stylistic ticks—it was trained using real authors’ works without their knowledge or consent, and without compensation. I’ve earned every last one of my em dashes and you can pry them from my cold, dead hands.
