AI-assisted audiobooks and audio drama
Directed AI narration, proofed line by line, with sound design and music when a story calls for it. Every production is labeled as AI narrated, and a person listens to all of it before it ships.

I work with AI for a living, and I write by hand because I love it.
This is my personal site. It holds what I do for work, why I do it, and the fiction I write for myself, which AI never touches.
What I do for work
Two lanes, both built on AI and a person in charge
AI companion tools and roleplay environments
SoloRoleplayer, a private, local, turn-based roleplay app. A small trained model that keeps a character in its own lane. A published benchmark that shows where it works and where it doesn't.
Why I do it
It started with roleplay
I've been roleplaying since I was sixteen. I wanted a partner I could pick up for ten minutes, on my own computer, without anyone watching. So I built one, and then I measured it.
The audio work comes from the same place. I write dark stories and wanted to hear them done properly, so I learned the craft: pronunciation lists, line-by-line review, sound design, mastering.
AI is how I get that work done. I'm not a programmer. I design the workflows and the tests, the AI tools write the code, and I check everything that ships.
I'd rather tell you exactly where AI was involved than leave you guessing, so every page says.

My own work, no AI
I'm a writer, and I have been since I was twelve
I love the writing process. For me writing is catharsis, my own form of therapy, and none of it touches my AI pipelines. Every word in the library is mine, and so is all of the setting, lore and rules of Westwild, my free spaghetti-western tabletop game.
Writing is jazz. It's off-beat, behind the melody, organized chaos on purpose, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
The library has a complete novel and several first-season pilots, free to read here. It's dark, gritty and rated R, so it's adults only.
