01 / About
I write with AI. Not around it. Not in spite of it. With it — the way a director works a camera.
The imagination is mine. The judgment is mine. The story is mine. AI is how it gets built — the tool that removes the friction between the idea and the page.
I don't hide it and I don't apologize for it. The old gatekeepers call it cheating. I call it the work. Every choice on the page — what breaks, who bleeds, where the city turns on you — comes from a human sitting in the dark, deciding. The machine just keeps up.
Human imagination. AI execution.
Built with it — from the ground up.
02 / The Book
Urban fantasy. Bay Area horror. A grief engine wrapped in bushido and blood.
Jennifer Murphy didn't ask to be a Fiend Slayer. But the city is dying, everyone is turning into monsters, and she's the only one left who can hold the line.
Book One: Initiation is a Bay Area urban fantasy with elements of horror, gore and Bushido. Press play on the cassette and follow flawed but brave women who slay fiends and attempt to escape their own horrifying transformations. Set to a playlist of California sunsets and Bay Area rhythm.
Book one of The Awakening Trilogy: Reckoning and Martyr are on their way.
