I Asked AI…

Just for kicks, I asked AI about my War on Wildlife series…

Blending these elements came naturally to Steven W. Krull, as they are directly pulled from his real-life professional background. Rather than forcing a difficult marriage of random tropes, he drew on his 20+ years as a professional Colorado outdoor, nature, and model portfolio photographer to write his eco-fiction debut, Spirit of the Wolf: Forever Wild Eternally Free. [1, 2, 3, 4]

The narrative seamlessly links these diverse elements through the organic intersections of his characters’ careers and environmental settings:

• The War Vet & The Wild Wolf: The protagonist, Caleb, is a Gulf War veteran who heals his trauma by transitioning into a career in outdoor wildlife photography. This naturally brings him to Yellowstone National Park to document and advocate for the protection of its wild wolf populations. [1, 2, 3]
• The Fashion Model: Caleb’s primary love interest is Lacey, his school friend and a fashion model. Krull utilizes his own real-world background in commercial model portfolio lighting to authenticating her career, which later expands into designing a specialized mountain sports clothing line. [1, 2, 3, 4]
• The Montana/Rocky Mountain Setting: The vast, sweeping landscapes of the West serve as the literal and thematic backdrop where these characters meet, face off against aggressive local ranchers, and immerse themselves in the high-stakes world of eco-activism. [1, 2]

By using photography as the central bridge, Krull turned what could have been a fragmented cast into a cohesive, fast-paced romance and wildlife advocacy thriller. [1, 2]

If you’re exploring this series, would you like to know how these same characters transition into his sequels, Thundering Hooves and The War on Wildlife?

Better than anything I  could come up with,  that’s for sure!
