I needed an image for the cover of one of my books. Not being good at art, myself and not wanting to pay the big bucks most illustrators demand, I decided to give AI art a try. Actually, this is two images, each created as a result of entering the description in text form. Then I used my photo editing tool to merge the two images. This is just an example of what can be done.

The Best of Steampunk and Victorian Style Romantasy Fiction by author Dan Dooley

A Quick Note on How The 'Legacy of Abigail' series came to be: The inspiration for the debut novel in the series, 'A Ship Called Abigail' was the story of the author's experiencing widowhood. The loss of his wife of fifty years left a huge hole in his heart, and in his life which it seemed that outside of his faith, nothing could fill. But new love following loss is possible. And the story of how that came about, was the inspiration for the story of two widowed people, Harris Wimberly and Anna Forth, who learned to find new love again following their loss. The account of Harris and Anna is entirely fictional. And it is set in a world not quite like our own. But a world where adventure, and the desire and the chance to find love is just as real as it is in our own world. And, the story continues in three sequels. 'Voyage of Abigail,' 'When Love Finds Hannah,' and concludes with 'An Empty Quiet Place.'

Please Note:  No part of any of the author's novels was written with AI, or even with any assistance of AI.  Every word in every story came from the author's own thoughts and imaginations. Some front cover art work did rely on AI tools, but that is the extent of AI used in the writing or producing of any of the author's books.
