Just for everyone’s information, the reason there is a new site rather than an expansion on the old site is simple: we can’t access the old site. The previous webmaster, Usok, had to step down, and we found that no one could get into the old account, no matter what we tried. If we do ever get into it—and I do still have some hope—we will put up an announcement redirecting people to the new site.
Anyway, Shivani C. helped design the new site and Jesa K. is the new webmistress, and I believe all new content will be on the new one. If that changes, I will most certainly post another blog about it.
Thanks for reading this, my beautiful lovelies! Thanks for inquiring minds and your interest in the websites and how they work (or don’t work!). See you in the next blog post!

My Characters Pictured: Why I Love AI (Part 2)
Published by L.J. Smith on
December 16, 2024
The other reason I love AI is because it allows me to picture my characters. For instance, if I tell AI to do a picture of Sarah Strange, with her soft, flyaway light brown hair and aquamarine eyes, heart-shaped face, round cheeks and rounded throat and all, I get:
The same for Brionwy, with her long, red-gold hair and violet eyes:
Or Guntra, the sadistic Head Dwenna who rules the harem in LULLABY, with her muscular physique, and shark’s eyes:
Or Sansama, Guntra’s spy and aide de camp, with her uneven orange-dyed hair, face that is almost a death’s-head, and muddy eyes:
Or Brionwy’s dearest friend Nefer, whose name means “beautiful.”
Another picture of Brionwy at the Ceremony of Innocence:
And we cannot forget to include a picture of Crispy, with her wyvernfire-scarred face and cropped dusty towhead. Her blue eyes, clear and discerning, shine out from her ravaged features:
Here is Crispy if we add a . . . red, vicious wyvern, like the Red Queen:
And another picture of Nefer in her golden gown for the Ceremony:
Then there is Lyria, Brionwy’s other close friend. Lyria is a shadowy little thing, a girl from the south with moonlight colored hair and blue-gray eyes. She dresses simply, loving to observe from the darkness. Here she is dressed for the judges of the Ceremony:
Let’s also take a look at Ting, one of the nine “sisters” who have come across the Great Ocean to the House of Darkemen. She’s wearing and shielded by her favorite color, and likes to laugh and make a display with the Phoenix Way of Fighting. She has silky black hair and dark, dark eyes:
And Princess Min Min, another of the “sisters.”
Here are some character pictures from the Night World series. There is Hannah and Thierry from Soulmate, both at theirwedding:
And in the old days:
And here are Mark and Jade from Daughters of Darkness:
Here is Witch-Queen Hecate from Strange Fate:
And here is the Witch Child, Iliana, from Witchlight:
And another couple pictures of Sarah from Strange Fate:
Here is a picture of Thea from Spellbinder:
And one of her voluptuous (read zaftig) cousin Blaise:
And Quinn from The Chosen. His eyes are not really silver(although they might turn that way when he’s using his vampire powers) but the effect was so startling and the dark, dark fathomless eyes were not coming through, that I left it in.
And . . . last, but far from least, here’s the infamous Maya, from several of the Night World books:
Finally, here is a completely real pic. It shows my pupperArslan, who is now more Tigger than lion, when he was just a little splodge. He is sleeping beside his toy replica—oh, but which is real and which is the toy?
Thank you for reading this far, my Lovelies, I hope you enjoyed these AI images of my Characters!
