How Sovereign Mercy is made.
AI assistance disclosure
Sovereign Mercy is a novel by Robert Wescott. Its original premise came from Robert. Artificial intelligence tools have assisted with brainstorming, research, story structure, character and scene development, draft prose, revision, editorial feedback, and continuity review. Some scenes and passages began as AI-generated drafts.
Robert directs the story, decides what becomes part of it, and reviews and approves each chapter before publication. The work has developed through his ideas, AI suggestions, and collaboration; a continuing creative provenance record tracks those contributions where the source is known and marks uncertainty where it is not.
This disclosure describes the creative process. The characters and events in the novel are fictional.
