My Official Statement On AI:

I have never used generative AI in the creation of any of my writing pieces, my poetry, my websites, or my social media. There is no AI present in my memoir, The Heart Word: How I Lost It All and Found Myself.

Authors are facing a grave problem. AI is stealing and replicating our words at a rapid pace. Please make sure that you are purchasing an original copy of my memoir from a reputable source. I do not consent to the reproduction or redistribution of my work by anyone I have not directly authorized.

My story is mine, and I am the only one who can tell it. Therefore, every word that you read is of my own creation.
