Letting my #scififri and #scifi friends know my new novel will be out early 2026!

Strange to think a rogue AI runs this city.
On the threshold waits the Bonsai Man. Sitting in a hole in the wall, his legs hang down like trees.
"Our lost anomaly." The words scratch at my ears. After the Virtual Wars, physical sensations hurt. "The Pied Piper missed remixing your data."

Exocentric compounds feel unsafe. Untethered.
The ancient term honeymoon has nothing to do with honey, or the moon. Creating such chaos is hard to imagine. People of the past played strange games with language. #scififri

In my reading of unrated books on Amazon, this novel was short but I LOVED the concept: a neon rain only the supernatural & magic-filled humans see, that distorts reality as a form of death. Incredibly imaginative & full of colour, like reading an electric rainbow.

They find me on the train.
A forcefield collapses, wind whipping through. Compartment dividers buckle, debris catapulting through the air. People fly by, propelled by the change in atmosphere.
I don’t bother saving them. They’re not real.
Neural hacks are almost victimless crimes.
Almost.

After being disgusted by the atrocious quality of a lot of popular novels on Kindle Unlimited, I've started just randomly reading books with no reviews.
Am currently enjoying this one, an unusual/original blend of financial norms, future tech, and magic.

Sharp and shiny, the newcomer is a perfectly cut key.
Rhyme Guy sighs. “She’s reflective. That's what makes her dangerous.” His gaze slides to the data-rich bottles arranged behind the bar.
"We're late." Lady Silver grabs my arm, cutting the skin I’m wearing with the coldness of her code.

His motivations are unfathomable, even to other Conceptualists.
Friend sees civilization as one piece in a complex game. He foresaw the evolving impact of Conceptualism. The convoluted dangers, and potential.
To the powerful, a tool of control. To the disempowered, avenues for revolution.

Our City is a paradise of clear communication. A peaceful sanctum where no word is wasted. When words have regulated meanings, society connects.
I shape new words when the need arises. Word crafters must infuse a sense of authenticity that appeals to the City’s psyche. The whole, is all. #scififri

...At any other point in history, people would hate them. They were different; harbingers of change. Yet to a desperate world, Conceptualists made the desert bloom.
And in a reality without hope, every success is a flower so bright it almost burns. #scififri

Stone watches me intently. Spin and spin. Getting up helps; motion and viewpoint. “Deactivate the monitoring.”
Waving a hand, he cuts off the bio-readings. Silent spaces. The art of shaping paper relies on the folds. #scififri

He chose the beach: known symbol of Conceptualism’s success. We are what we protect.
Engorged drops of rain. A moment on the cusp of change.
…It never rained. This is not my memory.
The waves—pause. Unnatural tension. Then the water surges, sloshing against the shore, a dark, bruised mess. #scififri

A garden simulation. Everything is too close; I'm entombed in greenery. Carnations—and their scent. An advanced neural link, then.
The divine flower.
4 is here.
The oldest Conceptualist rarely communicates. What does she want? Slivering vines encase me, streaming data into my system...

Salt of a distant ocean screams for help. Can’t breathe. I’m drowning on land-
Jolting awake, I stare at the pool. Water, like blood, is rich with code. My hair feels wet, enhanced by data.
I know this path. Steadiness holds a precipice. The labyrinth in my head; simulations of freedom.

Flesh-embedded AGI are rare. Artificial intelligence only lasts a decade outside the system.
Moon resembles a fairy-tale creature, with horns & moss-covered arms. But Gen bodies are manifestations of tech, not myth. Each clone from a dormant bloodline becomes a basic canvas for crafting.

Better late than never.
