Bit of an idiot who loves writing, motorcycles, video games, and cyberpunk.
A debut novel is crawling slowly towards publication, with an in-universe novella coming as well.

Could have been writing, but instead I put together this starter pack for those interested in cyberpunk writers, artists, and video game designers.

It's been a while since I created this starter pack and a bunch of new people have been added to it since. It has all of the #cyberpunk heavy hitters like Okorafor, Wells, Atwood, Gibson, and Napper, many of whom are pretty active, plus loads of artists and game developers like CDPR.

The sand toys are a bit of an odd choice, but I do like the general feel of this #cyberpunk image. The narrow view into what feels like the last possible option for whoever is desperate enough for whatever this machine would be vending. www.artstation.com/optics9348

Waiting for the final edits back from my editor so I started another short #cyberpunk story, which leads to more questionable entries in my search history.

Not overtly #cyberpunk, more transhumanist as the title indicates, but still a very arresting piece of art from Anna Mary M via their ArtStation www.artstation.com/ttomb6.

High tech low life #cyberpunk image from Eddie Mendoza www.artstation.com/eddie. Even when there is a technical replacement for phones (implants) I think they will persist. You want people to know you're on a call, not talking to yourself and people do like to indicate social status through devices.

This isn't the final version of this #cyberpunk drawing by Clint Cearley www.artstation.com/clintcearley, but I think I like it more than the finished version. There is a roughness to it, and I like the more subdued lighting compared to the final fully blocked and colored piece.

Heavy mood in this #cyberpunk street concept from Francisco Landa www.artstation.com/patxi_landa. The full red scheme instead of the more common blend of blues/purples/greens gives it a more ominous feel. Rachel from Blade Runner makes a cameo on one of the billboards.

Dead Line is now available for pre-order for the ebook version!
This is a great first chapter for Mira Wendam's new #cyberpunk novel, Dead Line. Free on their site now. It reminded me of 36 Streets from T.R. Napper.

The worst part about working on Cyberpunk 2 is that unbelievably cool things are happening on the project and I can't talk about any of them. The best part of working on Cyberpunk 2 is working on Cyberpunk 2 💥🦾

I just finished reading this ARC and it's a great entry into the #cyberpunk space. Excellent pacing and action, compelling characters, and an interesting world. There is a very Dune-like feeling to the corporate/political intrigue side of the story.
