AI Statement

AI Policy

  

I am an independent author. A proud ‘indie’ and a ‘human’ author. The following sets out my use of artificial intelligence (AI) in my creative work. All my books are products of my imagination. I do not use AI to produce my stories, including plot, character, or scenes, and my use of AI is consistent with Amazon’s guidelines.

Amazon Guidelines

 AI-assisted: If you created the content yourself, and used AI-based tools to edit, refine, error-check, or otherwise improve that content (whether text or images), then it is considered “AI-assisted” and not “AI-generated.” Similarly, if you used an AI-based tool to brainstorm and generate ideas, but ultimately created the text or images yourself, this is also considered “AI-assisted” and not “AI-generated.” It is not necessary to inform us of the use of such tools or processes.
