Meet Ava & Claire


So Coming Together launched into the world this time last week, and I'm blown away by the response. Thank you all so much for your purchases, for your comments and reviews and reactions. 

Since I'm not capable of much yet, I thought I'd share something I've been playing with. Recently, my computer updated and gave me Dall-E for AI image generation. I wasn't going to try it but I was so mentally exhausted from book launch activities that I gave it a try.

My prompt was: "Please make a b/w photo of two women in their mid-30s, dressed in clothing from the 1930s. They are obviously sisters. Woman on left is taller, slightly thinner, prettier, with light blonde hair. Wearing a v-neck dress & pearls. One on right is shorter, light brown hair, not as pretty, not as well-dressed but not shabby. Both women have pleasant expressions and are obviously close."

Everyone, meet AI Ava and Claire. I'm not sure what to think. It's a bit glam for Ava (and there's not enough of their Irish mother in these faces) but the result is still so much better than I expected. I may continue to play with this as I reassemble my brain and start work on what's next.

Super interesting! I did not think of Ava as quite as well turned out, and the hairstyles seem to be slightly later. But the family like ness is well captured LOL. Thank you for sharing. I truly enjoyed the books and am sad that this was meant to be just a trilogy. Abbey

Abbey, I'm hoping that Pearl comes back with a story of her own, but for now, the sisters' arc has ended. I could have kept going, too, but it felt like a good place.
