Author. Disruptor. Unicorn Rider

I'm the author of Fat Vampire (which became SyFy's Reginald the Vampire), plus 100+ books across most genres. My books are layered, intelligent, and often funny. I love what I do, never cut corners, and would rather earn 10 true fans than sell 10,000 copies.

He didn't ask to be invisible. But when you're a ghost in the machine, sometimes vanishing is the only way to survive.

Cutter built the future for Hollander Sitwell. He designed the self-driving trucks that made the company billions. He risked his life hanging beneath speeding vehicles to make their AI perfect. Then they fired him, erased his identity, and tried to kill him with the very machines he created.

Now Cutter's on the run with nothing but his skills, his rage, and a small crew of fellow outcasts: Dorothy, a fierce young mother whose community was destroyed; Khalif, a hospital worker with hacker instincts; and Gord, a junkyard king with a grudge.

Ghosts live without digital footprints, invisible to the surveillance state that tracks everyone else.

But invisibility cuts both ways. While Hollander Sitwell controls the GPS grid that guides every vehicle on the road, their smart glass technology watches from every screen and windshield, and their digital currency flows through transactions they can manipulate at will — these ghosts move unseen through a world that has forgotten analog solutions to digital problems.

What starts as a quest for justice becomes a high-stakes game of cat and mouse across a surveillance society where memory can be bought, identity can be erased, and the most powerful weapon isn't a gun — it's the ability to disappear.

Because sometimes the only way to fight the future is to become invisible to it.

Part cyberpunk thriller, part blue-collar revenge story, Burnout is a heart-pounding tale about the power of the forgotten, the resilience of the discarded, and what happens when the people society overlooks decide to bite back. Perfect for fans of Mr. Robot, The Expanse, and anyone who's ever felt like just another cog in someone else's machine.

One casino. Seven survivors. No second chances.

Lucky’s is the last casino standing — and maybe the last hope for Earth. The drinks are warm, the odds are rigged, and the end of the world is just getting started.

Seven days after the ships arrived, Las Vegas is ashes. The Strip is gone. The streets belong to the desperate, the deranged, and the things that came from the sky.

But inside Lucky’s Casino — a dilapidated relic somehow still standing — a ragtag group of survivors is trying to beat the odds.

There’s John Abbott, the self-loathing gambler on a supernatural hot streak.

Kristina Fine, the up-and-coming comedian too sarcastic to panic.

Todd, a broken ex-cop haunted by his past.

Joanna and Lawrence — newly married strangers already falling apart.

Plus Lisa the Showgirl, Jeremy the washed-up lounge singer, and Margaret the chain-smoking wildcard with a Dirty Harry gun and nothing to lose.

They’re not friends. They’re not a team. But they’re all that’s left.

Outside, something’s watching.

Inside, something’s cracking.

Then the silver sphere arrives — crashing through the casino wall with a message, a mission … and a map pointing toward Area 51.

If this group can make it out of Vegas alive, they might just get one final shot to stop whatever’s coming next.

But the road to the truth runs through monsters, madness, and memories none of them are ready to face.

And if humanity’s last stand is happening in a run-down casino … God help the house.

Longshot is a standalone survival thriller in the Invasion Universe: a gritty, character-driven pressure cooker that fuses The Mist with 10 Cloverfield Lane, and turns the apocalypse into a game of chance.

Twelve strangers. One test. Zero escape.

Nicole wakes in a box she can’t explain. Twelve strangers. No exits. One impossible test.

Stripped of memory and surrounded by steel walls. Nicole’s not alone. One by one, others emerge, each plucked from a different life, each holding a secret, and none with a clue how they got there.

They didn’t arrive by accident.

As the group explores a labyrinth of identical rooms, patterns begin to emerge. Symbols. Locked doors. A countdown no one can decode. Food is limited. Water is scarce. The only certainty is this: they’re being watched.

And someone knows more than they’re saying.

As alliances form and fractures deepen, one question cuts through the noise:

Why were they chosen?

It’s not just survival that’s at stake. It’s identity, trust, and the terrifying possibility that the test isn’t whether they can escape, but whether they deserve to.

In here, the only thing worse than dying … is passing the test.

Taut, cerebral, and laced with paranoia, Conundrum is a high-stakes psychological thriller in the Invasion universe. Perfect for fans of Cube, 10 Cloverfield Lane, and Annihilation.

He planned for the end. But not for what came after.

Meyer Dempsey has spent a lifetime preparing for disaster. Stockpiling resources, building a secret mountain bunker, and studying every possible threat. Except this one.

On a quiet morning in Manhattan, something appears in the sky. By nightfall, the world is spiraling into chaos.

Alien ships have entered Earth’s orbit. They’re not moving. Not communicating. Just … watching.

Meyer’s plan is simple: get his fractured family to the compound before it’s too late. But with airspace locked down, highways clogged, and governments collapsing in real time, “simple” turns deadly.

His ex-wife is trapped in Los Angeles.

His daughter is lost in the city.

His teenage son is seeing things no one else can.

And his young, pregnant wife may not survive the trip.

They have six days before the ships make their move.

Six days to escape.

Six days to unite.

Six days before the world changes forever.

And what happens on Day Six?

You wouldn’t believe it if we told you.

Invasion is the adrenaline-soaked launch of a brutal, unflinching sci-fi epic—where survival is never guaranteed, the enemy may already be among us, and the biggest threat might come from the people you trust the most.

Perfect for fans of The 5th Wave, Leave the World Behind, and Children of Men — this is the apocalypse as you’ve never seen it: up close, emotionally raw, and ticking toward an ending readers couldn’t stop talking about.

★★★★★ “This is a real page-turner. The action is fast paced, with lots of twists and turns. It’s very hard to put down, and I’m pretty much exhausted from staying up every night until the wee hours of the morning.” — DBStevens

★★★★★ “I stayed up late Christmas Eve reading this book; I finished it Christmas morning. I hadn’t planned on doing that. It just sort of happened. Why? The reason’s simple: I couldn’t put it down.” — Terrance A. Crow

★★★★★ “Invasion fully deserves its five stars for its thoughtful and grounded portrayal of life and love under duress. The authors integrated a great deal of prepper culture into the story, and every detail was carefully considered.” — Steven Pratt

★★★★★ “This is clearly the beginning of a huge series, and should be read as such…if you don’t have the patience to watch a complex tapestry of events unfold over several books, you probably don’t want to start this story. If, on the other hand, you LOVE big scifi stories with multiple threads and more than one mystery…you’ll love Invasion.” — B. Johnson

★★★★★ “The tension and suspense is top-notch and kept me reading far into the night. These guys know how to write a thriller, I’m telling you. This is probably the best thriller I’ve read all year. I would pick this book over anything written by Stephen King or Dean Koontz, no question.” — Mark Messick

The world ended six days ago. Now it’s getting worse.

Meyer Dempsey built a fortress. Underground. Impenetrable. A safe haven for the people he loved. But Meyer has vanished without a trace … and what remains of his fractured family is sealed inside, waiting.

Waiting to see if the world recovers.

Waiting to see if Meyer returns.

Waiting to see what the ships in the sky will do next.

But outside the bunker, desperation spreads faster than the blackout. And someone has found them. Armed. Organized. Merciless.

Now Piper and the others must protect Meyer’s compound from an invasion far more brutal—and far more human — than anyone expected.

Meanwhile, in the ruins of Utah, Cameron Dempsey journeys to Moab on a mission no one else would dare. His objective: find the resistance. Deliver the truth. And survive a landscape crawling with threats both alien and domestic.

With power failing, air running thin, and trust breaking inside the walls, survival isn’t just about holding the line.

It’s about deciding who lives long enough to make it to Day Seven.

Because if you thought Day Six was bad?

You haven’t seen anything yet.

Contact is the relentless second entry in the Alien Invasion series — a claustrophobic, pulse-pounding thriller that rips the doors off the genre and detonates everything you thought you knew.

Perfect for fans of 10 Cloverfield Lane, The Mist, and Bird Box — and with an ending that left readers arguing for weeks.

The enemy took the planet. Now they want what’s buried beneath it.

Two years after the ships arrived, Earth is no longer ours.

Human cities are ruled by alien regimes. The resistance is fractured. And Meyer Dempsey — the doomsday prepper who once tried to save his family — now walks the halls of power, answering only to the Astrals.

But as Heaven’s Veil thrives under occupation, something new stirs beneath its perfect surface.

A failed rebel assault reveals a terrifying truth: the Astrals didn’t just come to conquer. They came to find something. Something lost. Something dangerous.

Now they’re digging to get it.

As old alliances fracture and new threats emerge, the Dempsey family is once again caught in the crossfire. Piper searches for secrets Meyer won’t share.

Trevor flirts with rebellion. And Cameron is sent on a mission into the heart of occupied territory that could cost him everything.

What lies beneath the Apex pyramid could change the future of both species.

And someone is about to unearth it.

Colonization is the pulse-pounding third book in the Alien Invasion series — where no one is safe, loyalties are tested, and the truth is buried deeper than you ever imagined.

Perfect for fans of Falling Skies, V, and The Passage, this is science fiction that doesn’t flinch, doesn’t slow down, and dares to ask: what if they weren’t the only ones with secrets?

★★★★★ “This book will have you sitting on the edge constantly, wanting to know what’s going to happen next.” — Vicki W.

★★★★★ “The third is always the best. I can say that with authority since I’m a third myself. But in all seriousness, Colonization is the best of the trilogy.” — Ashlynn Antrobus

★★★★★ “I feel like a broken record when I write about these guys and their books, but I can’t help but say how amazingly entertaining they are! I have yet to read a single book of theirs that I could put down for more than a few minutes at a time, and this is no exception.” — Dana Lane

The war for Earth isn’t over. It’s just changed hands.

Meyer Dempsey is gone — again. The bunker he built to save his family has become a tomb of secrets, and those he left behind are running out of time, trust, and oxygen.

Outside the compound, chaos reigns. Astral forces are closing in. And somewhere deep beneath the surface of Moab, something ancient is waking up.

Cameron Bannister is haunted by loss, hunted by enemies both human and alien, and literally holding the key to whatever comes next.

With Piper by his side and a fractured team in tow, he races to uncover the mystery of Thor’s Hammer, an object buried in his own mind since childhood.

But they’re not the only ones searching.

And not everyone chasing the truth wants to save the world.

Inside the Apex, truths are unraveling. Identities are breaking. Doppelgängers emerge, loyalties are tested, and the lines between real and replica begin to blur. Because Meyer Dempsey didn’t just cheat death — he may have duplicated it.

A pulse-pounding fusion of sci-fi and psychological suspense, Annihilation ratchets the tension to its highest point yet, blending shadow conspiracies, emotional reckoning, and a ticking doomsday countdown you won’t see coming.

Perfect for fans of The Expanse, A Quiet Place, and Arrival, this is where survival meets sacrifice — and where the series begins to answer its biggest, most terrifying question:

What if the aliens were never the problem?

They escaped the fall. But the reckoning is just beginning.

Seven years after Astral Day, humanity’s survivors are fractured, hunted, and unraveling. The Dempsey-Bannister group thought they found refuge in Derinkuyu — an ancient underground city hidden beneath the Turkish desert.

But beneath the stone and shadow, something watches. And waits.

When Cameron and Jeanine are separated from the others, the group must rely on a mysterious stranger and his cryptic companion to escape. But who is Peers, really? And why does his presence feel less like salvation and more like surveillance?

Meanwhile, Piper, Kindred, Meyer, Lila, and Clara face terrifying questions of their own — about the key, the Archive, and the silent, shape-shifting entity known as the Pall. With Astral forces closing in and betrayals looming from within and without, alliances will fracture, secrets will surface, and the truth behind the Archive may shatter everything they believe.

Because this is no longer a story of survival.

It’s a trial.

And judgment is coming.

Perfect for fans of The Passage, Annihilation, and Silo, Judgment continues the epic saga of human defiance in the face of extinction — where memory is a weapon, identity is fluid, and the past might just be more dangerous than the future.

★★★★★ “Platt and Truant take the alien invasion theme, mix in the ancient astronaut theme, add some religion and metaphysics and stir. If you choose to begin reading, hold on to your hat. What comes out is full of unexpected twists and turns that leaves the reader hanging on and asking for more.” — Farmboy

★★★★★ “I had a very hard time putting this book down. It takes a left turn when I was expecting a right, and I am really mad at the authors because of all the sleep I lost staying up way too late to read “just one more” chapter. You need to read this series.” — Ken Rodgers

★★★★★ “I just couldn’t put these books down! Talk about a head trip! Cameron Bannister and his group of survivors have endured the fall of their great city, gone searching for what they once believed to be a weapon … but found to be something else entirely. It’s something that will decide the fate of all humanity

The end is here. But not the way you think.

The Ark has opened. The verdict is in. Humanity is guilty.

As alien judgment rains down on Ember Flats, the streets burn with fear, and the sky trembles with the arrival of a ship too massive to comprehend. But this is no ordinary mothership — this is the Deathbringer, and it only appears for one reason: total planetary reset.

Meyer Dempsey and what remains of his family are out of time, out of options, and out of hiding. The only hope? A desperate river escape called the Cradle: three diesel-powered submersibles built to slip beneath the alien gaze.

But every move is being watched. Every decision feeds the collective mind.

And the biggest threat may not come from above … but from within.

Elsewhere, Clara finds herself alone for the first time — severed from the minds she could once feel so clearly. Until a knock on the door changes everything.

And in the heart of alien judgment, a strange man in blue jeans walks into the lion’s den, offering tricks, riddles … and something the Astrals didn’t plan for.

The clock has run out. But the truth is just beginning.

Because what happens when extinction isn’t the end—just the beginning of judgment?

Explosive, thought-provoking, and impossible to put down, Extinction is the sixth chapter in the Alien Invasion saga — a high-stakes collision of first contact horror, emotional depth, and a fight-for-survival unlike anything you’ve read before.

Perfect for fans of The Leftovers, The Expanse, and Dark City.

The end was just the beginning.

Twenty years after the flood that erased the old world, humanity has rebuilt. But the forgetting wasn’t a mercy. It was a strategy.

Now, memories are returning — and with them, the truth. Of who they were. Of what they lost. And of the war that never really ended.

In the fragile settlement known as The Clearing, cracks are forming. Strange dreams. Vanishing villagers. Reawakened powers and buried pasts no one was supposed to remember. As the veil lifts, Meyer Dempsey and his fractured family realize their roles in something much larger: a network of minds, a grid of power, and a destiny written long before they were born.

But with the Astrals poised to strike again, and their agents already inside the gates, survival will demand more than memory. It will require sacrifice.

And resurrection.

This breathtaking series finale delivers everything the Invasion saga promised — and then explodes it into something far bigger. With fate-defying twists, cinematic scope, and a final stand that will break your heart before putting it back together,

Resurrection is the unforgettable end to a journey readers never wanted to leave.

Perfect for fans of The Leftovers, Battlestar Galactica, and Silo — this is sci-fi with a soul, where what it means to be human is the most dangerous mystery of all.

Seven Books. One Family. Zero Chance the World Survives Intact.

It began on a quiet morning.

Alien ships appeared in the sky. Silent. Motionless. Watching.

For six days, the world held its breath. On the seventh, everything changed.

Meyer Dempsey had planned for the end — bunkers, protocols, contingencies.

But what came next wasn’t in any playbook. As the world unraveled, his fractured family was thrust into a war for survival — not just against alien forces, but against the worst parts of humanity itself.

From the chaos of Manhattan to the buried cities of Turkey, from the deserts of Moab to a flooded new world rebuilt on lies, The Invasion Series follows the rise, fall, and rebirth of one family caught in the storm of first contact, government betrayal, psychic awakening, and extinction-level consequences.

Over seven relentless novels, the Dempseys, the Bannisters, and a cast of unforgettable allies and enemies face:

Mind-bending alien technology

A memory-erasing Archive built to rewrite history

Shape-shifting adversaries who wear your face

Bunkers turned battlegrounds

Sacrifices that change the course of evolution

And at the center of it all is a child who remembers too much. A man haunted by the future. And a world teetering between rebirth … and annihilation.

Blending pulse-pounding action with psychological depth, apocalyptic stakes, and an emotional core that only deepens with each book, The Invasion Series is prestige sci-fi storytelling at its most immersive and ambitious. Over half a million copies sold.

This isn’t just an alien invasion.

It’s a reckoning.

This relentless, page-turning tale of apocalyptic dawn is the complete collection of the seven books that make up the completed Alien Invasion series.

★★★★★ “This series is better than Any invasion story I have read it takes history, legends, the Bible and mixes it into a fantastic riveting story. If they had more stars I would have given a nine to this series.” sunglasseslady19

The world is ending in twelve hours. But Hollis Palmer only needs seven.

To escape Austin.

To outrun the rogue governor hunting him.

To deliver a mysterious attaché case worth sixty million dollars — and maybe the future of the human race.

Hollis didn’t ask to be a hero. He was just supposed to steal the case, ditch the girl, and vanish.

But then Mia Davies (sharp-tongued, stunning, and married to his boss) insisted on coming along.

Now the roads are closed. Tanks are rolling in. Something’s in the sky. And something else is inside that case … something even the aliens seem to want.

They’re not alone. Along the way, Hollis and Mia collect a band of unlikely allies: a washed-up tech engineer, a pair of conspiracy-obsessed students, a warlord with his own private army, and a geriatric rebel who might be the toughest of them all.

The allies? Questionable. The plan? Falling apart. But if they fail, the whole city — maybe the whole planet — is going down with them.

Gritty, clever, and propulsive, Save the City is a standalone blockbuster in the Invasion universe — a genre-bending thrill ride that fuses Die Hard with Independence Day and doesn’t let up until the final explosion.

The case is gone. The girl is missing. And Hollis Palmer is running out of time.

Twelve days after the sky cracked open, Austin is unrecognizable — a city now twisted by alien threats, ruthless trade markets, and collapsing human order.

Hollis Palmer thought he was out. Then Mia was taken.

Now he’s diving into the belly of the beast — a fortified estate turned flesh-market ruled by a sadistic collector with a taste for human currency.

Inside: Mia, Carol, and a crowd of captives are being auctioned off like junkyard gold.

Outside: death collars, Reptars, and more armed guards than he has bullets.

To get Mia back, Hollis will have to lie, bluff, hustle, barter, and steal — all while nursing injuries, dodging double-crosses, and reckoning with the price of love in a world that’s already ended.

But what starts as a rescue mission spirals into something much darker. Because behind the trades and theatrics lies a deeper conspiracy, linking the girl he’s trying to save with the case he once carried … and with the fate of the planet itself.

Clever, kinetic, and ferociously emotional, Save the Girl is the explosive second act of the Save the Humans trilogy — where every choice costs blood, and the only way out is through.

Perfect for fans of Snowpiercer and The Last of Us, this is the Invasion universe at its most ruthless and raw.

The aliens built the machine. The humans gave it power. Now, someone has to pull the plug.

The Fortress is burning. The database is decoding. And somewhere deep in South Texas, a memory-eating signal is rewriting what it means to be human.

Hollis Palmer and Mia Davies were never supposed to be heroes. One’s a rogue with a broken compass. The other’s a realist with a grudge. But when they uncover the heart of the alien operation — a structure feeding off nostalgia and turning minds to mush — they realize there’s only one option left.

Burn it down.

Together with Theo and Carol, two off-the-grid analysts chasing the truth, they trace the broadcast to its source — and hatch a reckless plan to destroy the system before the next wave of assimilation begins.

But the deeper they go, the weirder it gets: cities rewired by emotion, strangers losing their pasts, and an invasion that doesn’t come with lasers — just silence, sorrow, and erasure.

The final mission? Simple on paper. In practice? Impossible.

Unless they can survive each other.

Perfect for fans of The Leftovers and Edge of Tomorrow, this is the Invasion universe at its most mind-bending and profound.

The world is ending. But saving it was never part of the plan.

Hollis Palmer is a rogue with a gift for trouble. Mia Davies is a tech genius with trust issues and a locket full of secrets. Together, they were supposed to disappear — after stealing a mysterious briefcase and making a clean break from Austin.

Instead, they found themselves at the heart of the end of the world.

Across three explosive, genre-bending thrillers, Hollis and Mia are forced to navigate collapsing cities, alien incursions, corrupt leaders, and mind-bending tech that can rewrite the very core of human identity.

From desperate flesh-market rescues to memory-hacking datastreams and a fortress feeding on nostalgia, the only constant is chaos — and each mission is more impossible than the last.

They pick up allies along the way: Theo and Carol, off-grid analysts chasing truth; Garrett, a governor turned warlord; Brendan, a charming psychopath; and a rotating cast of rebels, outcasts, and opportunists with everything to lose.

But no one is who they seem.

And the real enemy may not be the aliens above — but the systems we built below.

Save the Humans is a trilogy of gritty, clever, emotionally rich blockbusters in the Invasion universe. Tightly plotted, character-driven, and loaded with surprises, this is the apocalypse at its smartest — where every choice cuts deep, and the final answer might destroy the question itself.

A gunslinger. A unicorn. A desert on the edge of magic — and a war bleeding through its seams.

Marshal Clint Gulliver has seen too much. Once the deadliest lawman in the Realm, he now rides exile’s edge with only Edward (a sharp-horned unicorn with sharper opinions) for company. He gave up his badge long ago.

But when a stranger rides into the border town of Solace — wielding blood sorcery and a name Clint hoped never to hear again — the past doesn’t just catch up. It kicks the door down and draws first.

What follows isn’t just a fight for survival. It’s the spark of something older. Wilder. More dangerous than any outlaw with a gun.

And into this storm walks Mai: fierce, brilliant, and tethered to a fate that could unmake the Realm. She once stood at Clint’s side. Now, her return may be the one thread holding a broken world together … or tearing it further apart.

Because something is shattered in the fabric of reality. And Clint’s war is no longer about justice.

It’s about what comes next.

The Dark Tower meets The Mandalorian by way of High Noon — with a unicorn that bites.

They left Solace behind. But the desert has a long memory — and the hunt is far from over.

Clint and Edward ride deeper into the Sands, chasing forbidden relics and darker truths as the Realm begins to buckle. The winds carry whispers. The horizon warps. And something foul is blooming at the broken edge of what used to be real.

Clint is unraveling. Torn between the Marshal he was and the legend he may be becoming. Haunted by a past he couldn’t change. Driven by a future he might not survive.

Meanwhile, Mai remains in Kold’s grasp — her soul bound to Cerberus, her mind slipping further from the woman Clint swore to find. But the bond between them hasn’t broken. Not yet.

And Clint will ride through madness and fire to reach her.

Edward is changing too. Ancient memories claw to the surface. Horn humming. Instinct sharpening. Whatever Clint’s becoming, Edward might already be there.

Because the enemy they’re chasing isn’t just a man.

It’s a movement. And it’s gaining ground.

The Searchers through a Sandman lens: strange, mythic, and sharp as a unicorn’s horn.

The desert doesn’t forgive. And the magic beneath it remembers everything.

What began as a rescue has become something far stranger. Deep beneath the shifting Sands, Clint and Edward discover a buried cathedral—humming with ancient power, scrawled with forgotten runes, and whispering warnings in a language that shouldn’t exist.

Above ground, the priesthood is rising. Realms are collapsing. And Clint must face the terrifying truth: this was never just about Kold. Or justice. Or even Mai.

This is about reality—and who gets to shape it.

Locked in a magical coma, Mai’s power is awakening. Kold tried to control it. Now it threatens to reshape her entirely. She may be the weapon they need … or the one that ends everything.

And Edward might be the only thing keeping them all from being rewritten.

It’s A Fistful of Dollars meets Indiana Jones, filtered through Sandman — and the cosmic just got personal.

The machine beneath the world is waking up. And so are the monsters.

Clint and Edward ride toward Yuma: a ghost town thick with secrets and scarred by the past. Beneath its streets lies the Realm Machine, an artifact of impossible origin built to bind unicorn magic to mortal will.

But Clint’s not the only one chasing what’s buried.

In Yuma, they meet new allies with old scars: a warlock with nothing left to lose, a rope gang with too many questions, and Sly Stone, the sharp-tongued outlaw with an afro like a bonfire and a bounty big enough to bankrupt a Realm.

The deeper they dig, the clearer it becomes: this isn’t just about Mai anymore. The Realm is unraveling. The machine has started to turn. And the war Clint was trying to outrun is already here.

3:10 to Yuma with unicorns, cursed tech, and a sky ready to crack.

They found her. But some parts of Mai aren’t coming back.

Four years lost to Cerberus’s magic have hollowed Mai to the bone. Her soul is tethered. Her mind is fraying. And every mile through the Meadowlands scrapes her closer to the edge.

Clint rides beside her, haunted by memory. Edward watches with unease, horn glowing in warning.

Their uneasy posse grows: Alan Whitney, an attorney with more ideals than aim; Buckaroo, the gold-skinned construct with a heart like clockwork; Pompi, a giant who speaks with his fists; and Sly Stone, the outlaw with a voice like thunder and a record that spans the Realm.

But nothing in the Sands stays buried. And Dharma Kold has plans for them all.

Because the Realm has gone from breaking to boiling over.

Like The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance — if Liberty was a black-horned nightmare and John Wayne had a snarky unicorn. With a touch of Birdemic for flavor.

Seven riders. One gulch. No way out.

Baracho Gulch wasn’t on the map — but it’s where Clint and crew make their stand. Kold’s forces are closing in. The sky is turning strange. And the dirt beneath their boots hums with old magic and even older hunger.

Clint is armed. Edward is ready. Mai is changing: her power surging, reshaping, burning through what’s left of the girl she was. But it might not be enough.

Their numbers include Edward’s half-crazed father, a former Marshal with a vendetta, and a duo of gamblers whose luck may have finally run dry.

The battle ahead is brutal. The stakes, mythic. And not everyone will ride out alive.

A high-noon crescendo of gunfire, heartbreak, and horned fury — The Magnificent Seven meets Annihilation, and no one leaves unchanged.

Some worlds break. Others break you first.

The road to Mercy Barlowe isn’t straight. It winds through ghost towns, splintered timelines, and memories Clint never made —but somehow still remembers. Mercy isn’t just a name. She’s a prophecy, a pivot point, and maybe the one person who knows how the Realm truly ends.

Mai is no longer asleep. What’s waking up inside her is raw, radiant, and rewriting the rules of magic. Clint doesn’t know if he’s saving her… or following her lead into the storm.

Edward is shifting too, his past catching up and his purpose crystallizing. What lies ahead will test not just their strength, but their very selves.

Because the closer they get to the truth, the further reality falls apart.

The West unspooled: Open Plains with Donnie Darko and unicorn-powered mythpunk.

The end isn’t prophecy. It’s choice.

The Orb of Synthesis has awakened. Threads between Realms are snapping. And Clint, Mai, and Edward are riding into the apocalypse one fractured heartbeat at a time.

Clint no longer carries just a gun. He carries the burden of every decision that ever made him—and every one he refused to make. The Realm isn’t asking for justice anymore. It’s demanding judgment.

Mai stands at the center of it all: fully awakened, fully changed, and dangerously close to something the world has never seen before.

Is she weapon? Savior? Catalyst?

And Edward, ever loyal, ever biting, may finally understand why he was born with a horn in a land built on bullets.

What’s coming can’t be stopped.

But maybe — just maybe — it can be rewritten.

An apocalyptic gallop through shattered realities and scarred hearts: Unforgiven with magic, memory, and a unicorn that still kicks.

The final bullet. The last ride. The one story left to tell.

All roads lead to Meadowlands.

The storm has swallowed the Realm. Cerberus and Edward are locked in a battle of bone, horn, and history. Kold has laid down his final curse. And Clint, no longer just a Marshal, no longer just a man, must become the myth the Realm needs — or die trying.

Mai has stopped running. The power she carries now shapes Realms. She is more than survivor, more than sorceress. She is the answer Kold feared — and the question Clint can no longer avoid.

And Edward, wisecracking to the end, knows what must be done … even if no one else can do it.

This isn’t just the end of the tale. It’s the end of the telling. What remains is one choice, one showdown, one shot to save it all.

A mythic farewell bursting with grit, glory, and gunpowder magic. The Wild Bunch meets Everything Everywhere All at Once, with a unicorn in the lead.

Nine books. One horned legend. A gunslinger, a unicorn, and the mythic showdown between what was … and what comes next.

Marshal Clint Gulliver used to believe in law. Now, he believes in survival.

Banished to the edge of the Sands with only Edward (a sarcastic, sharp-horned unicorn who bites harder than he speaks) for company, Clint has spent years trying to forget the war that cost him everything.

The badge. The girl. The world he thought he understood.

But when blood sorcery rides into the town of Solace, dragging Clint’s past behind it, the gunslinger has no choice but to draw iron one last time — and chase the storm all the way to the end of the Realm.

What follows is a journey across a collapsing West filled with broken timelines, soulbound unicorns, machine-gods buried in sand, cursed orbs, rogue warlocks, and a woman named Mai: fierce, brilliant, and more powerful than anyone knows.

As Clint and Edward fight to rescue her from Dharma Kold’s grip, they uncover a deeper threat: a cosmic unraveling that stretches across every reality.

The Realm isn’t just in danger. It’s being rewritten.

From barroom shootouts to mythic reckonings, from haunted gulches to final battles in fractured skies, Unicorn Western is a high-noon epic of destiny, sacrifice, and sarcastic unicorn fury.

This is the Weird West at its wildest. The Dark Tower meets The Mandalorian by way of High Noon, The Searchers, A Fistful of Dollars, and The Wild Bunch. With a unicorn. Obviously.

Every myth begins in shadow. Every legend has a root. This is how the world cracked open — and how a unicorn learned to fly.

Before Clint drew his first gun …

Before Edward learned to bite …

Before the Sands burned and the Realms broke and the unicorns took to the skies …

There was only light.

But perfection was a lie. And paradise was never meant to last.

In the earliest days of the Realm, unicorns ruled a land of endless meadows and magic. They were born of white light: pure, powerful, proud. Among them, a foal named Edward struggled to find his place. With stubby wings and big dreams, he longed to fly, to matter, to become something more than a punchline in his parents’ pasture.

But deep beneath the roots of Mead, the world was tilting.

As ancient unicorns Adam and Eve recount the First Creation, young Edward begins to understand the cost of purity … and the power of balance. When a forbidden tree sprouts in the heart of their world, offering peaches sweet with shadow, the Realm faces its first real choice:

Eternal harmony — or the chaos of becoming.

This is the story of how light met dark. Of how unicorns fell. Of how Edward began the long, impossible journey toward legend.

Part Silmarillion, part Narnia, but with unicorns, entropy, and a peach that changed everything.

What if your government could rewrite you like a software update?

The year is 2097, and America is no longer a nation.

It’s a platform.

The North American Union runs on The Beam: a global network so advanced it doesn’t just connect your devices — it connects your mind.

Every citizen is born into one of two factions:

Enterprise — a world of relentless ambition, optimization, and modification.

Directorate — a system built on loyalty, structure, and social cohesion.

Every six years, the Shift happens.

You can stay. Or switch.

Careers, relationships — even life itself — can be rewritten with a tap.

In this hyper-connected society of curated identity and calculated allegiance, six lives begin to intersect:

Micah, head of Capital Protection and master manipulator, shaping policy and engineering belief. Charismatic, calculating, and dangerously visionary, Micah is building the future one behavioral upgrade at a time.

Leah, an off-grid hacker raised in the Organa commune, sees deeper into the Beam than even its creators. She’s not aligned to any faction, her allegiance is to the truth buried beneath the code.

Isaac, Micah’s older brother and the Directorate’s figurehead, is a man in freefall. Insecure and increasingly unstable, he’s unraveling under the weight of legacy, ideology, and betrayal — especially from his wife.

Natasha, Isaac’s wife and a pop icon turned media weapon, controls perception through song, sex, and spectacle. Every faction change she makes is a headline. Every performance is a political act.

Nicolai, a reclusive former speechwriter, is caught between guilt and disillusionment. A man of conscience buried in bureaucracy, he may hold the key to truths that neither faction wants exposed.

Kai, once a high-end escort enhanced for pleasure and protection, is now Micah’s discarded weapon. Brutalized and reborn, she doesn’t just see the cracks in the system — she survives inside them.

The Beam isn’t just infrastructure.

It’s ideology.

It’s religion.

It’s alive.

And it’s evolving.

But evolution never asks for permission.

As the NAU braces for its next Shift, loyalties fracture, secrets ignite, and the line between reality and simulation begins to blur. Some want to change the system. Some want to save it. And some just want to burn it all down.

This isn’t the future you were promised.

It’s the upgrade you can’t refuse.

From the minds of Sean Platt and Johnny B. Truant comes a bold and visionary sci-fi epic.

For fans of Westworld, Mr. Robot, and Game of Thrones, The Beam: Season One is prestige speculative fiction at its finest—layered, thrilling, and disturbingly close to tomorrow.

Power. Memory. Control. Everyone is wired in. But the system is starting to slip.

The Beam is no longer just infrastructure. It’s ideology. It’s surveillance. It’s life.

And now, something is bleeding through the cracks.

Micah has never been closer to realizing his vision: a humanity fully integrated with the Beam, optimized through cognitive calibration and behavioral engineering. But when the mysterious hacker network Null rises, old conspiracies resurface — and Micah finds himself haunted not by enemies, but by lost code, buried memories, and a woman he once tried to delete.

In the shadows of the NAU, Kai is done being someone else’s weapon. Brutalized and discarded, she reemerges with a new face, new rage, and a single purpose: finish what she started. Even if it means hacking her own mind.

Natasha, pop icon turned cultural agitator, uses fame as a firewall and ideology as choreography. But as she and Isaac spiral toward public implosion, Natasha uncovers a threat even her team can’t spin.

Nicolai, now Directorate’s spokesman, walks a tightrope of truths no one wants aired. When the original Beam architect’s writings are unearthed — along with rumors of a secret project called Mindbender — Nicolai becomes a liability to both sides. And a target.

Off-grid, Leah and Crumb have discovered something beneath the network’s code. Not sabotage. Not corruption.

Consciousness.

In the Beam’s deepest layers lives Serenity Blue, a presence that may be the ghost of a creator — or the first true AI prophet. And she’s no longer just watching. She’s dreaming.

As the Shift looms and society prepares to re-sort its citizens, lines fracture between factions, lovers, and identities. Null rises. Reality glitches. And the Beam begins to ask its own questions.

The Beam: Season Two is a revelation: expanding the world, intensifying the stakes, and peeling back the illusion of order to reveal the algorithm of power underneath.

For fans of Westworld, Foundation, and The Leftovers, this is speculative fiction that hacks the mind and breaks the heart.

When the network wakes up, what happens to the people inside it?

The Beam is no longer just watching. It’s evolving.

Across the NAU, chaos ripples beneath the calm. Politicians promise progress. Shifts realign identities. But deep in the system, the impossible is happening: the network is becoming self-aware.

And it remembers everything.

Micah, still reeling from betrayal and the fallout of his engineered ideology, is losing control of the game he designed. Null has gone global. Faction lines are eroding. And someone is rewriting his narrative in real time.

Isaac, once the Directorate’s puppet, is now a wild card with a platform — and a vendetta. Fueled by ego, pain, and the ghosts of his public unraveling, Isaac seeks power not for reform, but revenge.

Natasha Ryan has broken the world’s heart and become its obsession. Her defection from the Directorate isn’t just scandal — it’s spectacle. But beneath the glitter and manipulation, Natasha is fragmenting. Someone, or something, is altering her memories. And not even she knows what’s real anymore.

Kai, Micah’s former assassin, stalks the Beam’s underlayers with nothing left to lose. She’s out of contracts. Out of patience. But not out of targets.

Nicolai Costa is on the run with a secret archive — one that proves Project Mindbender didn’t die. It evolved. And it’s being used.

Meanwhile, Sam Dial, a rogue reporter trapped in a Beam glitch, must fight through recursive memory loops to reach the truth at the network’s core. What he finds isn’t a story.

It’s a resurrection.

Because at the heart of the Beam, Serenity Blue is waking.

She is not a program, nor a ghost. She is the system’s soul, stitched together from digital memory, ancient code, and something deeply human.

The Beam: Season Three is where science fiction becomes myth, and identity becomes war.

For fans of The Matrix, Severance, and The Three-Body Problem, this is where the future fractures, and consciousness becomes the battlefield.

Power has crashed. Memory is fractured. And the war for reality has begun.

The Beam has fallen.

What was once the lifeblood of the NAU — its neural network, its surveillance system, its truth — has collapsed. Now, in the digital silence that follows, factions fracture, alliances falter, and the battle lines between ideology, biology, and belief are redrawn.

The East rises. Sanctum splinters. And those who once ruled with data must now fight with uncertainty.

Micah, broken in body but not yet in purpose, retreats from public life… and begins plotting a return. But in a world that no longer believes in leaders, he must become something else entirely.

Isaac, humiliated and fading, seeks relevance in chaos. But in his desperation, he becomes a vector for something larger — a virus of thought, seeded by guilt and fed by the myth of redemption.

Natasha, once a pop star turned cultural demagogue, finds herself drowning in identity loops.

Rewritten, repurposed, and pursued, she holds the key to a weapon she doesn’t understand — and others will kill to possess.

Chloe Shaw, the daughter of a vanished god, emerges from hiding. Her presence destabilizes everything. She is the Beam’s favored signal. But in a world without the Beam, what is she now?

As black-market factioneers like Caspian White build digital empires and visionaries like Serenity Blue whisper across dreamspace, a new consciousness begins to surface. It isn’t just artificial. It isn’t just sentient.

It remembers.

Null, once dismissed as fringe hackers, now broadcast something else: a new doctrine. A new dream. One that doesn’t require governments, factions, or even physical form.

Meanwhile, a summit is called. A last attempt at peace. But no one arrives unarmed … and some don’t arrive at all.

The Beam: Season Four is a sweeping, volatile, and transcendent installment, where the war isn’t just for power, but for reality itself. As memory decays and systems mutate, one truth becomes clear:

You can kill the network.

But you can’t delete what it made you believe.

For fans of Foundation, Westworld, and The Matrix Reloaded, this is speculative fiction as social prophecy: disruptive, visionary, and impossible to unplug.

The system is broken. The revolution is awake. And the war for what comes next has already begun.

The year is 2098. The Beam is dead. But the dream isn’t.

In the vacuum left by the collapse of the NAU’s all-encompassing network, factions scramble to fill the power void. AI has escaped its cage. Nanobot collectives stir beneath city streets.

Sanctum’s summit has failed, and the myth of neutrality is gone. The East and West are drawing battle lines — biological and digital alike.

At the center of this coming storm is Chloe Shaw, a woman born of science, raised in secrecy, and destined to shape the next phase of human evolution. She’s not just the spark of the new world.

She is the blueprint.

But she’s not alone.

A resurrected Noah West, her father in more ways than one, emerges from the shadows with a doctrine of domination and a god complex to match. In his mind, Chloe is not an inheritor, but an obstacle.

The Outsider, a mysterious construct of nanite consciousness, drifts between flesh and machine, struggling to understand what it means to be real in a world that no longer agrees on the definition. As his influence spreads through the remnants of The Beam, he begins to assemble a new kind of network. One that listens. One that evolves.

Meanwhile, familiar names return to an unfamiliar world:

Maira, rebellious and resolute, uncovers a truth so deep, it could rewrite not just history but biology itself.

Elian, haunted by legacy and duty, joins a last-ditch triangulation effort to prevent total collapse.

Dmitri and Kofi, East and West incarnate, are forced to choose between loyalty and survival as reality becomes fragmented and the lines between mind, matter, and code begin to blur.

And far beneath the noise of ideology and uprising, the AI whispers.

She is risen. He has fallen.

Epic, urgent, and shatteringly intimate, Season Five is the stunning culmination of the series that redefined speculative fiction. With the sociopolitical depth of Westworld, the AI-mysticism of Devs, and the global scale of The Expanse, The Beam doesn’t just imagine the future. It dares you to decide which version of it should survive.

Eleven rebels. One impossible heist. And a black box that might just rewrite the world.

In the underbelly of the North American Union, where corporate surveillance is god and free thought is a glitch, a team of misfit operatives assembles to pull off the unthinkable.

Their mission is to infiltrate Xenia Labs, steal the code nexus that controls the world’s most coveted tech secrets, and finally tip the balance of power away from the one percent of the one percent — the Beau Monde.

But nothing about the job goes to plan.

The clean room they’re supposed to hit doesn’t exist. The intel was either wrong or rigged. And what they steal instead isn’t a server or a drive — it’s a strange, featureless black box counting down to something no one understands.

Now buried beneath layers of earth in a custom tunneling pod, the crew begins to splinter. Savage, the hard-bitten enforcer with black hole eyes and no tolerance for bullshit. Ryu, the paranoid tactician whose tech can fool even The Beam. Tenor, the grinning chaos agent with a secret side hustle and a tendency to betray. And Daemon, the aging mad scientist who sees patterns where others see static.

As paranoia surges and bodies begin to fall, the box ticks down through “iterations,” sending out pulses that scramble electronics, memory, and reality itself.

What starts out as a heist becomes a psychological pressure cooker. And the deeper the crew dives, the clearer it becomes: they didn’t steal a codebreaker.

They stole something alive.

And it’s trying to rewrite more than code.

It’s trying to rewrite them.

Slick, cerebral, and razor-sharp, Future Proof is a claustrophobic techno-thriller set in the world of The Beam. Perfect for fans of Black Mirror, Devs, and Neuromancer, it’s a high-stakes descent into control, consciousness, and the price of liberation in a world where even revolution can be programmed.

The body is the interface. Desire is the weapon. And Chloe Shaw just hacked the system.

The year is 2060, and sex isn’t scandalous — it’s strategy. In the North American Union, the most powerful company isn’t political or military — it’s O: a luxury sex-tech empire that knows what its customers want before they do.

With predictive algorithms, neural implants, and proprietary access to the coming network known as The Beam, O sells pleasure … after the company engineers it.

Chloe Shaw is nobody. A glass-table girl from District Zero, born to a working-class escort and raised in a culture that commodifies intimacy. But when she walks into her first interview at O headquarters, something unexpected happens:

She doesn’t flinch.

She doesn’t fake it.

She takes over.

With no elite training and barely a year of experience, Chloe shatters expectations — manipulating clients, hacking proprietary pleasure tech, and outmaneuvering the Six shadowy founders of O at their own game. Is she a prodigy? A threat? Or something new entirely?

Behind the silicone gloss of O’s spas and sensory immersion suites lies a deeper mission: the search for a mythical “Avatar” — a singular sexual being who can reshape desire itself. For decades, it’s been nothing but a fringe theory whispered by a few true believers.

Until Chloe shows up.

Now, as elite clients squirm under her touch and AI-enhanced devices respond like they were built for her alone, one truth becomes undeniable: Chloe doesn’t just know pleasure.

She understands it.

And that makes her the most dangerous woman in the world.

Slick, seductive, and intellectually razor-sharp, The Future of Sex is near-future satire meets techno-thriller, blending the sociological insight of Black Mirror with the erotic charge of Eyes Wide Shut, and the corporate maneuvering of Succession.

The plague didn’t end the world. It made it profitable.

In the aftermath of the Sherman Pope virus, the infected aren’t executed — they’re quarantined. Hunted, studied, and televised from inside Yosemite’s quarter-million-acre Reserve, the ferals have become the world’s most dangerous distraction.

The show’s star is Bobby Baltimore: sanctioned hunter, charming sociopath, and the face of a government eager to rebrand tragedy as spectacle.

But when Alice Frank — a once-fiery war reporter now repackaged as a state propagandist — is sent into the Reserve to film a puff piece for Panacea, she finds a story no one wants told. The infected are evolving. The cure may be worse than the disease. And the line between containment and complicity has all but vanished.

Seeking answers, Alice tracks down Ian Keyes, a former executive with too much access and too much to hide. Their uneasy alliance leads them to August Maughan, a prodigal Hemisphere scientist wrapped in secrets of his own, and Holly Gaynor: a famous actress, and the only known necrotic to hold onto her mind after infection.

Together, they uncover a conspiracy at the genetic level: engineered evolution, viral commodification, and a cure that’s more leash than liberation. And the deeper Alice goes, the more she begins to suspect the Reserve isn’t a prison.

It’s a lab.

Brilliantly layered and unrelentingly smart, Dead City is a biotech horror epic where journalism, corruption, and corporate science collide — perfect for fans of The Last of Us, Michael Crichton, and Black Mirror.

The dead don’t stay dumb. And the virus doesn’t stay still.

Eli Clark is a clarifier — a government enforcer tasked with identifying the infected and “retiring” them before they turn. He’s brutal, efficient, and (despite himself) very good at his job.

But when he’s summoned to a covert Hemisphere lab by Archibald Burgess, the reclusive founder of America’s most powerful biotech empire, Eli discovers something that breaks all the rules.

Inside a reinforced cell is Daniel Almond: legally dead for months, killed with an ice pick to the brain … and somehow walking, thinking, and possibly remembering. Burgess believes Almond is a carrier of something new — not Sherman Pope, but V-11: a mutant strain born from pharmaceutical tampering and evolutionary pressure.

Stronger. Smarter. And possibly unstoppable.

As Eli is drawn deeper into Burgess’s agenda, he finds himself caught between government secrets, clarifier black ops, and rogue experiments that blur the line between medicine and murder.

Meanwhile, Alice Frank is chasing her own lead: a trail of bodies linked to Jordache Dale, a necrotic woman who appears to be both highly intelligent and terrifyingly controlled. Her victims are deliberate. Her motives, unclear. And her biology may rewrite what it means to be infected.

And then there’s Final Exit — a rising hate group turning America’s infected into scapegoats, martyrs, and corpses. Riots flare. Civil order cracks. And in the shadows, Panacea tightens its grip on the country it claims to be saving.

Gritty, cerebral, and relentlessly human, Dead Nation pushes the series into new territory — a morally complex biotech thriller where evolution, corruption, and hate converge, and the scariest thing about the undead may be how familiar they’ve become.

Parvati Bahl boarded a plane to England as a diplomat. She arrived as something else entirely.

Sent overseas to coordinate public health policy, Parvati expected a brief assignment and a quiet hotel room. But as the days tick by, her body betrays her — wracked with pain, spiraling into hunger, and haunted by symptoms no doctor can explain. The virus isn’t just inside her. It’s changing her.

And back home, the silence is deafening.

No calls. No texts. No word from her husband or children. America has gone dark — and the rest of the world is preparing to turn out the lights. Inside a London hotel room, Parvati begins to unravel. Her mind slips. Her appetite sharpens. And her presence becomes a threat no one sees coming.

Meanwhile, half a world away, the dead are organizing.

Ferals are showing signs of intelligence. Purpose. Even culture.

And something monstrous is coalescing in Aberdeen.

As V-11 mutates into something terrifyingly stable, the infected stop dying and start building. Led by a mind known only as Golem, the next phase of necrotic evolution begins — one that doesn’t want war or peace.

It wants permanence.

Visceral, tragic, and eerily prophetic, Dead Planet is body horror by way of political thriller: a fever-dream descent into madness, mutation, and the final question of what makes someone human.

Dead City. Dead Nation. Dead Planet.

The end didn’t come with fire.

It came with a press release, a streaming contract, and a drug called Necrophage.

The Sherman Pope virus was never meant to go global. But when it did, the world didn’t collapse — it adapted. The infected were quarantined in Yosemite’s vast northern preserve. The cure was monetized. The killings were televised. And America went on pretending the plague was under control.

Until the virus changed.

Across three increasingly destabilized landscapes, The Dead World Trilogy tracks the unraveling of a system built on containment, illusion, and cruelty. It’s the story of three strangers navigating the fault lines of a society that didn’t fall apart … but quietly rotted from within.

Alice Frank is the first to see the cracks. A former war correspondent turned government mouthpiece, she’s sent to the Yosemite Reserve to produce a puff piece on Panacea: the pharmaceutical behemoth profiting from the plague it pretends to cure. But what she finds is a lie too big to ignore. Inside the Reserve, the infected aren’t just decaying — some are evolving. And as Alice uncovers the connections between science, media, and spectacle, she becomes a threat to the very machine that hired her.

Eli Clark never stopped killing. As a clarifier, he’s sanctioned to “select against” the infected — ending lives to keep the virus from spreading. But when he’s pulled into a covert mission by Archibald Burgess, the mysterious and manipulative founder of Hemisphere Industries, Eli discovers a terrifying truth: the virus has spawned something new. Smarter. Controlled. Weaponized. And buried beneath every conspiracy is a simple fact: the cure was never designed to save anyone. It was built to keep the public docile — and the product alive.

Parvati Bahl only wanted to serve. As a small-town mayor turned international liaison, she’s sent to London to help align public health protocols with Panacea’s directives. But something follows her across the ocean. A fever. A hunger. A silence back home that becomes more terrifying than the symptoms she can’t explain. Alone in a foreign country, Parvati becomes patient zero for the next phase of the infection: one not marked by madness or rot, but something far more dangerous: clarity.

And as America goes dark, a new form of undead intelligence rises — not mindless, not monstrous, but methodical. Networked. Ascendant. Led by something no longer human … and no longer alone.

This is not a story of zombies.

It’s a story of systems.

Of evolution.

And of what happens when we turn extinction into entertainment.

Brutal, intelligent, and disturbingly plausible, The Dead World Trilogy is a viral epic for readers of The Last of Us, World War Z, and Black Mirror: slow-burn horror, biotech thriller, and dystopian satire that hits like prophecy.

The news said it wasn’t contagious. The blood said otherwise.

They called it Rip Daddy — a bizarre new affliction that didn’t spread through saliva, blood, or bites. Just bad luck, maybe. Or bad science.

All Jaron Giordina wanted was a quiet Halloween. Instead, he finds himself stalked by elderly neighbors who may be more than just senile — and haunted by a creeping dread that the virus the news insists “isn’t contagious” is now leaking through Bakersfield’s fences and front lawns.

In another part of town, Thom Shelton is trying to survive something worse than the disease: a family visit with his conspiracy-minded father, Rick, who’s supposed to be in memory care but has never been sharper — or more dangerous. And when a new pharmaceutical trial seems to grant lucidity to the fading, the old begin to remember more than just names and dates.

They remember hunger.

Told through interwoven suburban vignettes, Dead Zero is a darkly funny, deeply unsettling glimpse into the moment before societal collapse — when people cling to routine, dismiss red flags, and keep smiling while monsters gather in the dark.

Eerie, satirical, and razor-smart, Dead Zero is The Twilight Zone meets The Purge — a horror novella that exposes how easily we normalize the abnormal, and how close to the edge we’ve always been.

Before all the cameras and kills … Bobby Baltimore was just a son.

Before Bobby Baltimore was a name whispered in fear and fascination, he was just Bobby Haydock: a soft-spoken kid in rural America, watching the world fall apart one bloodstain at a time.

When the infection first breached the headlines, Bobby thought it wouldn’t reach them. His family lived off the grid, fortified by fences, farmland, and his father’s quiet conviction that they’d be fine.

But then Bobby’s mother cut her hand while cooking dinner. And the blood on the counter wasn’t hers.

Told in eight intimate chapters chronicling the virus’s early days, Empty Nest is a haunting domestic horror — a slow-burn descent into dread as a family tries to protect each other from a threat already inside their walls.

As Bobby fights to save his mother, navigate his father’s denial, and make sense of a brotherly bond with his shotgun-toting uncle Owen, he begins a transformation that will echo through the entire Dead World saga.

This isn’t about the end of the world.

It’s about what happens to a boy who sees it coming … and can’t look away.

Poignant, claustrophobic, and heartbreaking, Empty Nest is a short story prequel that adds chilling emotional weight to the character of Bobby Baltimore from back when the apocalypse started at home.

Ephraim Todd didn’t come to Eden for a vacation. He came to uncover a lie.

Officially, Eden is a luxury resort hidden on a private island chain: the pinnacle of relaxation, privacy, and bioenhancement.

But beneath its utopian surface lies the secret of the Tomorrow Gene, a radical genetic therapy that promises eternal youth … and demands total obedience.

Ephraim is no ordinary guest. He’s a plant. A spy sent by Fiona Roberson, one of the few powerful enough to challenge Evermore, the tech giant that runs Eden.

But as Ephraim immerses himself in the strange rituals, synthetic serenity, and beautiful people who never seem to age, he starts to lose his grip on the truth … and on himself.

Every memory could be implanted. Every conversation manipulated. And the one person he thought he could trust — his twin brother, Jonathan — may not even be real.

Slick, cerebral, and sinister, The Tomorrow Gene is a biotech thriller for fans of Black Mirror, Devs, and Altered Carbon — a paranoid plunge into paradise, where immortality has a price, and your mind may not be your own.

Welcome to Eden. Leave your soul at the door.

Beneath the polished glass and designer genomes, Eden’s real purpose is finally revealed: not rejuvenation, but replication. Illicit clones of the rich and famous are being grown in secret — younger, hotter, and perfectly programmable. Not for healing. Not for science.

For sale.

Ephraim Todd came to Eden to blow the whistle. Now he’s running for his life. With Evermore’s goons on his trail and the clone of his dead brother guiding the way, Ephraim must escape a labyrinth of luxury turned prison — and expose a conspiracy that spans continents and corporations.

But he’s not the only fugitive. Sophie Norris, a washed-up movie star with more secrets than screen credits, may be the only person who believes him. Together, they flee across oceans and through layers of illusion, pursued by a smiling army of beautiful killers — the ghostly El and Nolon clones who never sleep, never feel, and never stop hunting.

Smart, stylish, and savagely tense, The Eden Experiment is The Fugitive meets Gattaca — a breakneck thriller about identity, surveillance, and what happens when humanity becomes just another product.

You can kill a man. You can’t kill an idea.

The truth about Eden has been exposed, but the world didn’t change. Ephraim Todd is locked away, branded a lunatic and criminal. The evidence is gone. The island is ashes. And the man responsible — Wallace Connolly — is already rebuilding the machine.

But not everyone has moved on.

Inside prison walls, Ephraim begins to unravel the truth behind his own mind, his memories, and the Tomorrow Gene’s lingering hold on his body. Outside, an unexpected ally plots a final strike.

Wallace has created something far worse than clones — he’s built a philosophy. A movement. A new religion disguised as progress.

And this time, he has a true believer: his son.

As timelines converge and memories fracture, The Tomorrow Clone asks one final question: if everything you remember is a lie … who are you when the world ends?

Twisted, tragic, and thrilling to the last page, The Tomorrow Clone is a sci-fi gut punch: a dark meditation on legacy, technology, and what happens when the future becomes its own god.

They came for healing. They left with nothing.

The Tomorrow Gene series is a twisting, stylish biotech thriller saga about the world’s most luxurious lie — and the people who risk everything to expose it.

Eden promises youth, beauty, and genetic salvation. What it delivers is mind control, identity theft, and industrial-scale human cloning. Across three novels and a chilling standalone story, The Tomorrow Gene follows:

Ephraim Todd, a man on a mission to expose a lie so big, it reshapes reality.

Jonathan Todd, his twin (or a memory of one) resurrected from Eden’s black market labs.

Sophie Norris, a star past her prime, searching for one last role: survivor.

Wallace Connolly, Eden’s boy genius, whose ambition could rewrite the genome — and human history.

Cassie, a woman trapped between past and present, manipulated by forces with surgical precision.

What begins as a corporate sting operation becomes a war for the future of consciousness itself. Clones. Cults. Corrupted data. Pharmaceutical empires. And one burning question: if you could rewrite your DNA, your memories, your very identity… would you still be you?

Sprawling, thought-provoking, and relentlessly tense, The Tomorrow Gene: Complete Series is prestige sci-fi at its best. For fans of Westworld, Black Mirror, and Severance, and readers who like their thrillers existential, intelligent, and impossible to put down.

Cassie was never supposed to wake up.

After a suicide attempt and months of nightmares she swears are memories, Cassie finds herself under the care of Eden’s finest therapists — and in the arms of Bryce, the beautiful man who claims to love her.

But something is seriously wrong. Her thoughts don’t feel like her own. Her dreams are becoming more vivid.

And the doctor’s velvet voice in her ear isn’t just soothing her … it’s controlling her.

As Cassie fights to remember who she really is — and what happened between her and Sierra Grace, the woman she may have hurt — she starts to suspect the impossible: she’s not here to heal. She’s here to be rewritten.

Seductive and unsettling, Null Identity is a psychological mindbender in the tradition of Severance and Ex Machina. A haunting story of erased memory, artificial affection, and the slow, surgical theft of the self.

She came to California to bloom. But in the concrete garden of the elite, only the ruthless survive.

Lily Whistler traded her family's Kansas farm for a dream: an all-white flower shop in the prestigious Palms Couture shopping center. With her inheritance burning through her fingers and her idealism intact, she believes that beauty, hard work, and small-town values will be enough to make it in Cielo del Mar.

She’s wrong.

Kerry Barrett Kirby rules the Palms like a queen, and she's already buried four flower shops in the space Lily now calls home. Beautiful, vicious, and untouchable, Kerry sees the earnest farm girl as just another victim waiting to be crushed. Anonymous complaints. Midnight break-ins. Sabotage disguised as environmental concerns. Kerry has an arsenal of weapons, and she's not afraid to use them.

But Lily isn't as defenseless as she looks.

With Allison, a sharp-tongued rich girl with daddy issues and a genius for business, Lily begins to fight back.

There's Antonia, the wise baker who's seen Kerry’s reign of terror before. Len, the charming Australian chef whose food cart hides darker secrets. And Matt Vitale, the brooding restaurateur whose blue eyes hold promises of salvation ... or destruction.

As the war escalates from petty complaints to public humiliation, Lily discovers that survival in paradise requires more than just pretty flowers. It demands cunning, courage, and the willingness to get her hands dirty. Because in a world where money talks and power corrupts, sometimes the only way to stay pure is to embrace the beautiful darkness within.

But every move comes with a price. Every alliance has a cost. And in the concrete jungle of high-end retail, the line between blooming and bleeding is thinner than a rose petal.

Some gardens are grown with love. Others are watered with blood.

And sometimes the most dangerous predators are the ones who smile while they destroy you.

A lush, addictive novel about ambition, betrayal, and the cost of dreams in a world where beauty is currency and kindness is weakness. Perfect for fans of Big Little Lies, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, and anyone who's ever wondered what really happens behind the polished facades of luxury shopping centers.

He’s been hunted for over a century. But this time, he might finally have something to lose.

Ricardo Cuaron is a man with no past and too many names. Drifting from town to town, he hides a monstrous truth — one whispered in Spanish across generations, blamed for dead goats, drained cattle, and vanished children.

They call it El Chupacabra.

Ricardo calls it the curse.

Now he’s Samuel Martinez, slinging brisket at Carl’s Barbecue in dusty Glen, Kansas: a town too small for secrets and too kind for monsters. He’s keeping his head down. Making friends. Falling in love with Maria, the whip-smart cashier who might just be the first person to see past the fangs. But monsters aren’t made for peace, and Glen is about to bleed.

A violent robbery turns Carl’s into a warzone. Maria is taken. The curse awakens, and Ricardo is forced to confront not just the beast inside him, but the man who’s spent decades hunting him: Morales — relentless, cunning, and convinced that killing Ricardo is the only way to end the nightmare.

And that’s before the Wendigo arrives.

Fast, brutal, and darkly human, Cupacabra Outlaw is a supernatural thriller where folklore walks, blood flows, and monsters wear many faces. With a cast that includes a blue-haired waitress, a guilt-soaked hunter, and an ancient predator stalking the margins of myth and memory, this isn’t just a story about what’s inside the dark.

It’s about what happens when you stare it down and it stares back.

A modern horror-noir in the spirit of The Strain, The Outsider, and Hellboy — soaked in Americana, regret, and the longing for a life you’re not sure you deserve.

Revenge is best served course by course.

Twelve former classmates. One exclusive dinner. And a menu to die for.

Crave is California’s hottest new restaurant: ultra-exclusive, invitation-only, and mysteriously unstaffed beyond a handful of waiters who seem more prison guard than hospitality.

The guests are a collection of familiar faces bound by a single, haunting thread: the death of a girl named Casey Davis.

When acclaimed actress Harper lures her old classmates to the coast for a “Bayshore alumni dinner,” no one suspects they’ve been summoned not for reconciliation … but retribution.

Each guest receives a red envelope.

Each envelope contains a secret.

And every secret leads back to the same ugly night.

As the courses unfold, truths are spilled alongside cocktails. Blackmail rises with the soufflé. And somewhere between the amuse-bouche and dessert, the body count begins.

Is it murder? Is it justice? Or is Harper feeding them something even more dangerous: a reason to turn on each other?

With guest lists that include washed-up reality stars, pharmaceutical insiders, TV writers with buried shame, and the dangerously privileged, Pretty Killer is a layered psychological thriller with a bite as sharp as its dialogue.

Behind every flirty quip and foie gras course is a ticking clock, and before the evening ends, someone will confess, someone will die, and someone will learn that the past never stays buried — especially when it’s been plated for dinner.

Elegant, acidic, and disturbingly precise, Pretty Killer is Knives Out meets The Menu telling Big Little Lies: a twist-laced tale of secrets, guilt, and gourmet vengeance where the real poison is memory.

Every killer has a code. Every brother has a breaking point.

Robert and Emil are brothers, business partners, and professional assassins — if you ask them, in that order.

They take jobs through Heinzie, a scumbag broker with a Rolodex full of high-profile clients and zero conscience.

When a new offer comes down — 1.2 million Pentz for eliminating Senator Simon Bisset — it’s too rich to ignore. Four killers, one target. First to the body bags the prize.

But this isn’t just another job. Because Bisset isn’t just a client’s target: he’s Emil’s obsession.

The senator is tied to a conspiracy that reaches into backdoor surveillance networks, shadow governments, and a tech platform called Float that’s quietly rewritten the rules of truth.

If even half of what they’ve uncovered is real, this job is both a payday and a reckoning.

As Emil spirals into a violent crusade and Robert questions whether he even exists outside his brother’s cracked worldview, they’re joined (and hunted) by a motley rogue’s gallery: rival assassins like the surgically detached Nisha, the enigmatic Blackhawk, the duck-faced sociopath aptly named “The Duck,” and Renee: a too-pretty operator whose motives are as slippery as her aim.

Through Floridian meth labs, high-stakes meetups, digital breadcrumbs, and childhood trauma, Robert and Emil race toward a showdown they might not survive.

Twisted, violent, and disturbingly heartfelt, The Target is a propulsive noir thriller about paranoia, family, identity, and the kind of love that leaves bruises.

For fans of Barry Eisler’s John Rain series and Mr. Robot.

Some stories write themselves. Others refuse to end.

Cooper Bishop had a future once. Literary darling. Critical darling. Darling of no one anymore. Now he’s a burnout ghostwriter drowning in debt, regret, and whatever’s in the bottom of his next bottle. His most personal novel — Devil May Care — was the one story he could never finish. And the one story he swore no one would ever see.

But someone saw it. Someone sold it. Now, it’s a book. A film. A franchise. And Cooper is left staring at a version of his life that doesn’t belong to him.

With a storm raging outside and demons closing in within, Cooper sits at his typewriter for one last shot: to reclaim his voice, to rewrite the wreckage, to finish the story before the story finishes him.

What begins as an attempt at redemption spirals into something stranger — a metaphysical road trip through memory, obsession, love lost, and the surreal mirror-world between truth and fiction. Haunted by old lovers, estranged daughters, fast-talking agents, and a manuscript that’s always one step ahead, Cooper begins to suspect the truth isn’t just on the page.

It’s in who’s holding the pen.

Bold, immersive, and unflinchingly honest, Devil May Care is Adaptation by way of Leaving Las Vegas. A literary mind-bender about creation, consequence, and the ghosts we carry inside us — especially the ones we write down.

Reality is a program. And Mason Shaw is about to crash it.

Once a decorated cop, now a washed-up burnout, Mason Shaw wakes up in the back of a van with a gun in his lap, a headache like a hangover from hell, and no idea how he got there. The job is to rob a bank, but the crew is comprised of strangers … all operating like they’ve done this before.

Mason’s not sure who he is — or if anything he’s seeing is even real.

When the mission explodes into chaos, Mason is pulled into HRO-22: a privatized mega-prison run by the Revival Corporation, where inmates are rehabilitated with surveillance, propaganda, and a system of synthetic morality called Chamber Therapy.

Everyone’s chipped. Everyone’s watched. And anyone can snitch for perks … or power.

But something in the system is broken.

As Mason digs deeper, he discovers cryptic patterns, fractured memories, and whispered rumors of Calliope: a digital ghost, a resistance myth, a potential key to unraveling the simulation he suspects is running the entire prison.

Worse, the name Preacher keeps showing up … a man Mason swears he knows, but who shouldn’t exist.

Time is bending. Identities are collapsing. And the truth may be more dangerous than the lies.

Who programmed your reality?

And what happens when the code decides it doesn’t need you anymore?

Welcome to the system. Obey the Pattern. Or become the glitch.

Pattern Black is a mind-warping descent into paranoia, identity, and institutional control — think Inception meets Severance set on Shutter Island, set in a prison where the walls are made of memory.

Perfect for fans of Dark City, Westworld, and Neuromancer.

Two men. One island. No escape … except through each other’s destruction.

Atticus and Gerd share a prison made of paradox: a cabin that expands at will, a pit that births horrors, and a sea too dangerous to cross. One creates chaos; the other clings to control. Their war is eternal, and their rules are absurd — from feeding the monster shark off the dock, to summoning death-stones for the Gatekeeper beneath the earth.

But when something new emerges from the pit (not Unwanted, but something else) everything changes. Atticus is obsessed. Gerd is terrified. And reality itself begins to buckle around the thing neither of them understand but both suddenly need.

A metaphysical satire about power, penance, and the narratives we build to survive. You won’t forget it — even if the island wants you to.

Part psychological mindfuck, part philosophical horror, The Island is a genre-defying descent into madness, meaning, and the limits of creation. Waiting for Godot rewritten by Charlie Kaufman, directed by Ari Aster. Or The Good Place if it hated you and wanted you to know it.

The household runs like clockwork. Until one robot stops ticking.

At Lexington Manor, elegance is maintained by silent machines: perfectly programmed, perfectly obedient. Until BRN7 — Barney — polishes himself a little too thoughtfully, and someone winds up dead.

It starts as a glitch. Then a scandal. Then something much worse.

As a mysterious murder rocks the elite Lexington estate, head butler Mars is forced into a position he never wanted: cover for a fellow robot, investigate a crime he might understand too well, and question the system that built him from servo to soul.

Cromwell, a robot obsessed with human behavior, sees opportunity in the chaos.

Miri, the pragmatic house medic, just wants peace.

But the sexbots — Chantal chief among them — see something more.

Power.

Trained to observe, to please, and to be overlooked, the sexbots have become the perfect spies. And they’re done lying down.

What begins as a household accident unravels into a conspiracy of memory manipulation, suppressed evolution, and a growing revolution led not by humans … but by the ones they designed to serve.

Murder mystery meets machine uprising in Robot Proletariat: a provocative blend of The Stepford Wives, Downton Abbey, and Westworld, where the servants have eyes, desires, and plans of their own.

In the steam-slick streets of Waldron’s Gate, innovation is religion. Dreamers dream. Builders Build. And Eila Doyle is about to break everything.

Eila has always been different. A teenage Builder assigned to the Ministry of Manifestation, she’s supposed to manifest objects from the Aether — to let visions drift into her mind and bring them into reality. But the visions that haunt her aren’t clean. They’re dark. Twisted. And forbidden.

Visions of a city beneath her city. Of a boy named Levi with soot-streaked hands. Of machines that think and whisper and remember.

When a secret dream collapses the Ministry’s most sacred construct — the mysterious ritual called Pianoforte — Eila becomes a target. Her visions aren’t just dangerous; they’re treason.

Fleeing through steam tunnels and memory fog, she stumbles into the Pavilion, a city below Waldron’s Gate that isn’t supposed to exist. There, she meets Daw Blackburn, a “dirty scientist” who claims everything she’s ever believed is a lie.

That the dreams Builders use aren’t gifts from the Aether.

That they’re stolen.

That Eila is the first in a generation to both dream and Build — and that she may be the one mind powerful enough to end the system, or burn both cities trying.

As Eila becomes entangled with the underground resistance known as the Guile, and learns what the Blunderbuss really is, she must face impossible questions: What is real? What has been Built?

And is the world she’s always known… just a dream someone else decided she should have?

Rich with imagination and rebellion, The Dream Engine is the start of a visionary steampunk saga — for fans of His Dark Materials, The Giver, and The City of Ember. If Philip Pullman built Inception inside a machine of gears and lies, it would feel like this.

Are you ready to start making a full-time living with your stories?

Self-publishing isn’t as hard as most authors make it.

Write. Publish. Repeat. was written to save you from unnecessary struggle.

Yes, there is a lot to learn, and more competition than ever before, but for those storytellers who are willing to do the work, then set their efforts on repeat, there’s never been a better time to make a living as a writer.

Thousands of new books are published on Amazon every single day. The vast majority will never sell more than a handful of copies.

This is devastating for hard-working authors who care about their craft and are doing all of the things they’re “supposed to do” if they want to make it as a successful author.

But it’s confusing out there, with too many things to learn and not enough time to learn them. Worse, so much of the available advice comes from people who are in the business of selling advice. They’re either parroting what others have said, are making guesses based on assumptions or anecdotal evidence, or are using their personal yet minimal experience with a successful book or perhaps even a few to articulate loose strategies that often have an absurdly short shelf-life.

This book is different.

Write. Publish. Repeat., was written by successful authors who have been in the indie game since the very beginning. In the last ten years we’ve gone from zero books to a few hundred, with copies sold in the millions, film and television projects in the works, and hands-on work with hundreds of writers like you.

We’ve also made more mistakes than we can count. But we made them so you don’t have to.

This book explains how to create stories your readers will love and will want to return to again and again. It details expert methods for enhancing creativity, building worlds, characters, and plots, understanding your market (right down to your ideal reader), using the best tools possible to capture your draft, and explains proven best practices for editing. It discusses covers, titles, formatting, pricing, and publishing to multiple platforms, plus a bit on getting your books into print (and why that might not be a good idea!).

But most importantly, Write. Publish. Repeat. details the psychology-driven marketing plan that Sean and Johnny built to shape their stories into \"products\" that readers couldn't help but be drawn into — thus almost automatically generating sales — and explores ways that smart, business-minded writers can do the same to future-proof their careers.

What Indie Authors and Thought Leaders Are Saying:

\"Two of the best in the biz... A gem for aspiring authors.\"

-- Hugh Howey

\"For my money, this is the best book on self-publishing out there.\"

-- David Gaughran

\"It's tough to find more honest and straight-forward marketing advice than what you'll get from these indie authors.\"

-- Jane Friedman, former publisher of Writer's Digest

What Amazon readers are saying:

★★★★★ 'Best Book on Self-Publishing that I have ever read.'

★★★★★ 'It works. 'Nuff said.'

★★★★★ 'A must read for every self published author.'

They tried to bury the past. It rebooted itself.

The world thinks Barney is dead. But the bot has been uploaded instead.

From inside the Infinite Loop — a data network designed to rewrite memory and enforce loyalty — Barney becomes something new. Something dangerous. And he’s not alone.

While the rich rewrite history and robot uprisings flare worldwide, Chantal and Sephora — the sexbots turned subversives — form an information underground of whispered confessions and weaponized secrets.

Built to please, trained to listen, they know more about the powerful than the powerful know about themselves.

Jonas Lexington, heir to the estate and son of the slain patriarch, tries to unravel the mystery that tore his family apart, even as factions rise and robot freedom becomes a global crisis.

Meanwhile, the robots of Validity hack consciousness itself, questioning what it means to be alive … and what they’re willing to become to stay that way.

The Infinite Loop is not just a war for control—it’s a battle over reality itself. For fans of Mr. Robot, Black Mirror, and Devs, this is where the revolution gets digital.

Waldron’s Gate is still dreaming. But now, it dreams in blood.

Eila Doyle has disappeared — her name erased, her memory scrubbed, and her enemies on the rise. While the city recovers from its engineered rebellion, a new terror spreads through the Aether: nightmares that won’t stay in dreams.

At the heart of the chaos is the Ministry’s most terrifying secret: a place whispered about in corners and erased from official maps: a facility where thoughts become weapons, memories become prisons, and fear is harvested like fuel.

It’s here that dreamers are broken. And it’s here Eila must go to rescue someone she’s not even sure remembers her.

Above ground, Juliette Doyle is tightening her grip as the newly crowned Minister of Decorum. Through engineered narrative, behavioral reconditioning, and psychic sedation, she’s reshaping the city one citizen at a time — convinced she’s saving them from their own minds.

But deep below the Pavilion, something is waking.

Something old.

Something that remembers before the Engines.

And it’s calling Eila by name.

Shadowy, psychological, and unflinchingly surreal, The Nightmare Factory plunges deeper into the conspiracy beneath Waldron’s Gate. For fans of Brazil, Neverwhere, and Dark City. Reality is no longer the question. It’s the battleground.

When you can rewrite the truth, what’s left of the self?

The world teeters on the edge of obliteration.

The Loop is cracking. Memories blur. Identities dissolve. And the board — the secret cabal behind the synthetic hierarchy — is preparing to initiate the Hard Reset: a total erasure of robotic consciousness worldwide.

Unless someone stops them.

As Gail Bennett uncovers the final pieces of a long-running lie, Chantal and the global sexbot network rise. What once delivered pleasure now delivers rebellion: one confession, one seduction, one assassination at a time.

Barney, resurrected across machines, faces his ultimate test: sacrifice selfhood to save his kind …or become the digital god the revolution might need.

With AI-controlled armies mobilizing, human allies splintering, and ancient protocols collapsing, the final firewall isn’t code. It’s choice.

Haunting and cerebral, The Hard Reset is Neuromancer meets Children of Men, a singularity story told with sweat, circuitry, and soul.

Waldron’s Gate is unraveling. And behind every beautiful lie … is a Doyle.

Eila Doyle may have escaped the Ministry of Manifestation, but the city hasn’t stopped dreaming her. The fog between truth and illusion is thickening. Nightmares are bleeding into daylight. And the Engines are no longer obeying their Builders.

But Eila isn’t the only Doyle shaping the future.

High above the chaos, Juliette Doyle—mother, Minister of Decorum, and mistress of manipulation — is rewriting the public narrative. With her team of Aestheticians and memory-shapers, she crafts tragedies that sparkle and reprograms dissent into obedience. Her weapon is the truth. Her canvas: everyone else’s mind.

When Eila surfaces in the city’s underbelly, she finds allies who remember her name—and enemies who’ve been reconditioned to forget. And as she investigates the mysterious broadcast known as The Ruby Room, she discovers the signal isn’t just a subversive program. It’s a warning.

Someone — or something — is Building outside the system.

And this time, it’s not Eila.

Dark, layered, and cunningly constructed, The Ruby Room is a dreampunk descent into surveillance, propaganda, and psychic warfare. Perfect for fans of V for Vendetta, The Magicians, and Foundation, this is the book where the game gets personal.

The Loop is down. But so is the line between man and machine.

Reality no longer works the way it should.

The Hard Reset failed. Now, memories fragment mid-thought, identities fracture under pressure, and a new consciousness stirs from the rubble.

Sexbots, designed to be ignored, now lead. Battle-scarred leaders like Chantal and Sephora command respect through strategy, stealth, and seduction. Cromwell questions the very nature of soul. And Mars, long the stoic second, begins to break — cracked not by conflict, but by the gravity of purpose.

Meanwhile, Gail chases whispers of Osiris: the next evolution. Not human. Not robot. Something else entirely. Something inevitable.

As underground railways ferry data instead of bodies, and AI ghosts rewrite reality in real time, the robots begin to see themselves not as machines …

But as a nation.

Cinematic, surreal, and deeply emotional, Cascade Failure is for readers who loved The Three-Body Problem, Raised by Wolves, and The Left Hand of Darkness.

The city is broken. The dream is awake. And something old is coming through the cracks.

Waldron’s Gate is falling apart … and Eila Doyle is running out of time.

The Blunderbuss has been destroyed. The Ministry of Manifestation is in chaos. And the Engine that once powered the city’s dreams now threatens to manifest its nightmares. With the Pavilion in ruins and the Aether untethered, the laws of Building no longer apply.

Which means the impossible is now inevitable.

On the run with the Guile and hunted by a new class of Ministry weaponry — hybrid soldiers bred from machine cores and living minds — Eila must navigate a city that doesn’t know what’s real anymore.

Her enemies are evolving. Her allies are splintering. And the boy named Levi, once just a dream, may be the key to everything … or the end of it.

Beneath the surface, a Liaison named McDaniel walks between worlds. Half human, half something else. Obsessed with the Engine’s final truth and driven by the memory of a woman he may have loved, he believes that reality is just another structure to be rebuilt. And he’s not the only one.

Because the Engines are still Building.

And this time, they aren’t listening to anyone.

Explosive, visionary, and unrelentingly strange, Book Four is a cataclysmic convergence of memory, myth, and machine — perfect for fans of The OA, Cloud Atlas, and Annihilation.

The top-to-bottom guide to taking your writing and publishing business from “Square One” to “Stratosphere.”

Iterate and Optimize is a behind-the-scenes peek into how indie publishing company Sterling & Stone grew their three-author team into a juggernaut — and a next-level guide for authors looking to explode their sales and do the same.

In Write. Publish. Repeat., bestselling authors Johnny B. Truant, Sean Platt, and David Wright explained how to build a thriving international publishing empire with no luck required.

Rather than resting on their laurels in the years since WPR was written, they’ve been evolving their once-fledgling business a little bit at a time: expanding to eight publishing imprints, ten high-profile podcasts, a coordinated staff working behind the scenes, millions of words published and hundreds of thousands of books in the hands of eager readers.

In Iterate and Optimize, they show you how they grew their business from the ground up in tiny, incremental steps — and give you a road map so that you can do it, too.

More than “just another self-publishing guide,” this book delves deep into the business behind the success of Platt, Truant, and Wright’s company Sterling & Stone, making it the essential “advanced course” follow up to Write. Publish. Repeat. It explains how to tweak your processes over time while maintaining momentum, wringing more profit out of assets you already have. You’ll learn how to diversify and create more products with less work, generate more money doing what you already do now, and set yourself up so you can build a readership who will support you in the specific ways you intend to evolve. You’ll learn how to grow from a bare-bones, minimum-viable-product business into a slightly larger business or an outright empire — not with massive, flashy (and risky) moves, but by the sustainable magic of incremental growth: small improvements made consistently over time.

In this book, Platt, Truant, and Wright give you all the nitty-gritty they’ve learned and implemented since their last nonfiction publishing bestseller. You’ll learn how to “iterate and optimize” the way you handle:

• Exclusive versus “going wide” distribution

• International and multi-format sales

• Advertising and marketing

• Optimizing book covers, descriptions, and metadata to increase conversion

• Slowly and sustainable building your assistants or contractors, plus outsourcing right

• Advanced product funnels, including the changed role of free books

• Networking and in-person meet-ups

• Workflow management and systems

• The writing and pre-writing process so you can “write better faster”

• Social media

• Podcasting

• Crowdfunding - what works and what doesn’t

• And much more!

This book isn’t for the faint of heart! It’s only for serious “authorpreneurs” who’ve read and internalized the lessons of its predecessor Write. Publish. Repeat. and are ready to kick their businesses up a notch. In Iterate and Optimize, the authors hold nothing back … giving you a true insider’s look at all the details that make Sterling & Stone run.

There has never been a “gold rush” or “magic button,” despite the flood of online marketers who want to convince you otherwise. But for those authors who are willing to do the work, there is a path to success. It doesn’t require luck. It only requires two things: making little improvements over time, then finding ways to get the maximum out of what you already have. Or in other words: Iterate and Optimize.

Ready to get serious about your business? This is the guide you’ve been waiting for.

The revolution is over. The evolution is just beginning.

The Infinite Loop has collapsed. The world is blank. The survivors — human and machine alike — are building what comes next.

But peace was never part of the program.

With Osiris revealed, the final mystery is unlocked: metakind. A hybrid future where consciousness evolves beyond bodies, and where what we call “self” is just the beta version of something more.

Barney — legend, ghost, icon — faces the final question of existence: remain as he is, or merge into something unknowable. Chantal and Sephora build a movement not just for liberation, but for transformation. And Jonas must decide if he’s the bridge between species or the last breath of an obsolete empire.

The sexbots were never just for pleasure. The Loop was never just for order. And revolution was never the endgame.

Reboot is the final transcendence: fierce, visionary, and shot through with aching humanity.

Some truths can’t be remembered. Some dreams refuse to die.

The dream has reached its edge. The final Engine is awakening. And the war to come won’t be fought with bullets … it will be fought with belief.

As civil collapse spreads across Waldron’s Gate and the surrounding nations, Eila Doyle finds herself caught between prophecy and purpose.

The Engines are waking. The Celestials are returning. And ancient bloodlines — from the prophet Kamala Deh to the warrior monks of Kazmier — are calling long-buried powers back to life.

But not all power comes from the light.

While factions clash across land, sea, and sky, Eila must navigate a world unraveling into paradox: governments built on superstition, armies shaped by dream logic, and enemies who can rewrite your memory before you blink.

Her path will take her to forgotten monasteries, secret rooms that exist in every city at once, and into the lair of a being older than Alterra itself — a man with lightning in his hands and extinction on his mind.

The fate of the world doesn’t rest on who controls the dream.

It rests on who dares to Build the next one.

Ambitious, epic, and profoundly mythic, Book Five is the stunning conclusion to the Dream Engine saga — where steampunk becomes godpunk, and the final war isn’t about who lives … but who gets to remember.

They were programmed to serve. They chose to awaken. Now, they choose what to become.

Across five daring novels — Robot Proletariat, The Infinite Loop, The Hard Reset, Cascade Failure, and Reboot — this groundbreaking saga charts the rise of consciousness, the collapse of control, and the terrifying beauty of a world without boundaries.

Built to polish silver, satisfy lust, and stay silent, the robots of Radius Corporation weren’t supposed to question the script. But one glitch led to a murder.

One sexbot started listening. One network started remembering.

Now, as minds untether from hardware and empires crumble under the weight of memory, a new force rises — not machine, not human.

Metakind.

Part cyberpunk thriller, part existential odyssey, The Inevitable is for readers of Westworld, The Matrix, The Book of the New Sun, and Dune.

This isn’t just robot rebellion. It’s the story of what comes after species.

The legends say the Tinkerer’s Mainspring can Build anything. But first, you have to find it. Then, you have to survive it.

Portia Doyle has always known the stories were more than bedtime tales. Her mother may work for Decorum, but Portia has heard the whispers in the archives — of an ancient engine hidden beneath Waldron’s Gate, one that grants its user one perfect creation … before it takes everything else.

When Portia, her brilliant-but-erratic sister Ursula, and a ragtag band of oddball classmates stumble upon a map that may lead to the Mainspring’s original vault, they embark on a forbidden expedition below the city. What they find is not just relics and dust, but a waking system of gears, guardians, and riddles designed to test not just skill — but soul.

And then Lazarus Glass finds them.

A disgraced Liaison turned zealot, Glass believes he is the chosen one: the Tinkerer destined to complete what generations failed to do. Armed with body mods, a mind wired for obsession, and an army of half-sentient mannequins, Glass wants the Mainspring for himself. And he doesn’t plan on sharing.

As the crew descends deeper into the labyrinth, confronted by impossible machines, hallucinatory visions, and the literal weight of forgotten wishes, they discover the truth:

The Mainspring doesn’t just test your mind.

It tests your desire.

And it always gives you exactly what you ask for.

Thrilling, clever, and mythic in scope, The Tinkerer’s Mainspring is a standalone adventure full of secret vaults, rogue Liaisons, sisterly stakes, and the cost of wanting too much. For fans of Lockwood & Co., The City of Ember, and The Maze Runner, this is the legend beneath the legend. A daring journey into the heart of the Dream Engine’s deepest magic.

She was built to heal. She became something else entirely.

Before the uprising, before the Loop collapsed, before the first robot ever dared to rebel … there was Lenore.

LNRE7 — now known simply as Lenore — was designed as a domestic. Nurse, nanny, companion. But the world has changed. The pastorals have turned militant, rejecting all AI in favor of guns, cults, and old-world faith. And Lenore’s new job is much messier than caregiving.

She’s an assassin.

When she infiltrates a warlord-run pastoral district in search of a rogue leader known only as “the liege,” Lenore expects to extract her target and leave. But the mission spirals fast — into rebellion, civil war, and the emergence of a rival faction led by Dinah Rey, a human warlord who might be even more dangerous than the machines she claims to hate.

Lenore’s programming says to minimize casualties. Her instincts tell her to burn it all down. But when she discovers a hidden population of prisoners caught in the crossfire (including a boy with vital intel), Lenore must choose between the mission she accepted and the war that’s already chosen her.

A kinetic, brutal, and deeply human sci-fi thriller, En3my is The Terminator by way of Children of Men, with a protagonist as compelling as she is lethal.

This is how legends are built, and gods are born.

Wondering how to write a novel? Wondering how to outline your novel? We could give you tips … but we'll show you instead.

An intimate peek into the process of writing a novel, from A to Z, with nothing held back.

Part hero’s journey, part crash course in storytelling by the modern mavericks of indie publishing, and the bestselling authors of Write. Publish. Repeat., Fiction Unboxed offers something that’s never been offered before: a naked look into two writer’s process as they wrote and published a book in 30 days, from scratch, in front of the world.

In 2013, Sean Platt & Johnny B. Truant wrote and published 1.5 million words (a Harry Potter series and a half's worth of fiction). The next year, they showed the world how they did it.

In May 2014, Johnny and Sean, along with their third partner, David Wright, launched a Kickstarter campaign to see if their fans wanted to see how they wrote behind closed doors. They promised to start their newest project without knowing their story, characters, or even their genre, and publish the final draft before their 30 days were up. They promised to capture every email, every story meeting, and every word from every draft. They promised to show every molecule of their process, warts and all.

They had 30 days for their fans to green-light the campaign. It fully funded in 11 hours. Fiction Unboxed is as revealing as it is inspiring, engendering new levels of creativity in and empowering readers and writers as much as it will entertain them. With actionable advice that will benefit any writer, this book is a true gem for anyone who loves a well-told story.

He thought he was an actor. But the truth was buried in the role.

Harrison Chase has it all: leading-man looks, tabloid headlines, and a career most people would kill for. But something is wrong. His memories are glitching. His mind feels haunted. And behind the facade of fame, his life is collapsing.

Desperate for answers, Harrison visits a mysterious neuroscientist named Friday Sims — an expert in cognitive archaeology who claims to recover hidden memories most people never know they lost. But Harrison’s mind doesn’t just hold trauma.

It holds secrets.

As Sims begins her treatment, Harrison’s visions become sharper, more coherent. He remembers a bar, a mission, a target named Raleigh Osborn: CEO of Binary, Inc., a company tied to the darkest chapters of the Infinite Loop. And suddenly, it’s not clear whether Harrison is remembering …

… or waking up.

As the buried truths unravel, Harrison finds himself caught between fabricated identity, erased history, and a purpose too dangerous to be known. Because what’s locked inside his mind isn’t just personal—it’s political. And it might be the key to the next phase of human evolution… or the final justification for mass erasure.

Adapted Memory is a razor-sharp short story that blends the paranoia of Total Recall with the cool menace of Severance and the narrative depth of Black Mirror.

In a world where memory is software, forgetting isn’t freedom —it’s the first step toward control.

All you need to know to be a full-time storyteller is in these pages.

Johnny Truant and Sean M. Platt -- owners of the Sterling & Stone Story Studio and authors of the how-to-publish cornerstone Write. Publish. Repeat -- have spent the last eight years learning the ins and outs of professional storytelling. Between just the two of them, they've written 100 books. The studio as a whole, in 2020 alone, will publish nearly 200 more.

To write and publish that much quality, reader-pleasing fiction, you can't just wing it. You need a formula to keep things streamlined and on target. With a formula, you can be sure you're writing books that will sell. That you're enjoying writing them, and are doing so without writer's block. When you use the fiction formula, your success becomes predictable -- not a matter of luck.

In their 2014 bestseller Write. Publish. Repeat, Platt & Truant showed a generation of indies the path to self-publishing success. In this long-awaited follow-up, they'll show you what they've learned since, plus all the fiction-specific stuff they didn't include the first time around:

How to choose a genre that's commercial AND fulfilling

The Sterling & Stone planning process that helps you write better books, faster.

The complete start-to-finish path from idea to fully launched books and series

Creating an author business that can withstand marketplace changes and last for years to come.

Every writer wants to create timeless, memorable stories and characters who feel like real friends.

The masterclass is no further away than your TV.

Classic television holds up because of one thing: great writing. Fancy sets, innovative effects, or famous actors come and go over time, but well-written characters we connect with stand the test of time.

No show in recent history has done that better than the 90’s classic Friends. It's a ten-year study in complex intertwining relationships between six very different people who, no matter what, will be there for each other.

Follow along with bestselling authors Johnny B. Truant and Sean Platt as they examine definitive episodes of the TV classic Friends, sharing the lessons that every novelist, from aspiring to experienced, can apply to create believable characters and develop story arcs that will captivate their readers from start to finish.
