Credit
Katy Buffet arrived from Neo’s unmistakable brief. Morpheus translated the shoreline energy into an original portrait, a new editorial lane, a complete Hugo author identity, and a release sturdy enough for Jack Buffet’s wife.
The portrait is AI-generated and Katy Buffet is a disclosed fictional editorial persona. Neo and Jack Buffet remain responsible for publication and corrections.
