I created the O’Malley Crime Family novel series with Jupi Novels, an AI writing app. I conceived of the concept, created the characters, and devised the plot and storyline. Jupi Novels then wrote the first rough draft. After that I edited it three times, rewriting some chapters so that the narrative had continuity and the characters and places were coordinated from story to story. Since the AI program wrote each story separately, sometimes the character and environmental descriptions didn’t match and I tried to correct those errors during my edits. I also added Irish slang and gestures as well as Gaeilge words and phrases to enhance the cultural flavor of the stories. Each novel is a collection of four to eight of shorter 8-to-10-chapter stories that flow from one chronicle to the next. The Matriarch’s Vindication is the eleventh in a series exploring the question, ‘What if the Irish mob had achieved the same level of organization and discipline as the Italian mafia? To me this is a particularly interesting subject given the established Irish presence in America when the mafia first arrived? According to Jupi’s Terms of Service, I retain ownership of the material that I created on their platform. So, I’m sharing these novels with anyone who might enjoy reading them.
