In this video, I discuss certain aspects of my Christian testimony and how I believe they relate to current identity issues in society. This is not a political discussion or rant. I hope you find it interesting "food for thought."

I made an A.I. art (through Canva) of Jordan SnowFire from my Jordan of Algoran Christian science-fantasy series. But I had to tweak the colors and add Jordan’s scars, so it’s not 100% A.I.

This shows how Jordan is of Russian-American descent mixed with her SnowFire traits (blue hair and ice blue eyes). I depicted her on the snowy world of Algoran.

More Canva A.I. text-to-images I used to depict some of the supporting characters from my upcoming Christian steampunk book Queen of the Skies. I've included some insights into each character.
Image description
Marjorie is Merritt's aunt and Catherine's sister. She is married and has a daughter named Lavinia (Merritt's cousin). Marjorie raised Merritt from infancy to adulthood.
Picture
Blaze is Merritt's best friend. He's a local artist who also does some commercial art. He is aware of Merritt's autism and is very supportive of her.
Picture
Vinnie is Marjorie's daughter and Merritt's cousin. She is attending college and works part-time at a mall. She and Merritt were supposed to be raised as sisters but that didn't quite happen. They have a somewhat adversarial relationship.
Picture
Fletch is Abe's father and a widower. He owns an airship repair business and has become wealthy from its success. He was James Moore's best friend in college and knows Merritt's true parentage. As a result, he has watched out for her over the years.

Last week, I used Canva's A.I. text-to-image feature to make some character art for my upcoming Christian steampunk book Queen of the Skies. Here's a look at the main characters with a little bit of insight into each character.
Picture
Merritt is 22 years old, biracial (Black/White) and autistic. She has a unique view of the world and brings that perspective to the series. She was abandoned at birth by her mother and raised by her aunt, Marjorie Clarke.
Picture
Abe is 22 years old and the son of Douglas "Fletch" Fletcher who owns an airship repair business. Abe is an office manager at his father's company. Merritt and Abe went to high school together but didn't become friends. Circumstances bring them back into each other's lives.
Image description
Catherine is Merritt's mother. She left Merritt with her sister, Marjorie, in order to pursue stardom as a jazz singer. Catherine achieved her goal and became an international superstar at the cost of not telling anyone about her daughter.
Picture
James is Merritt's father, though he doesn't know that. He is a technology designer for a major corporation in New Amsterdam City. He has not seen Merritt's mother, Catherine, in twenty-three years.
