It’s the AI apocalypse…
…and security construct JAC.AL just wants the squad to install a software update...
Photosensitive version available here
Hawkins Mark II Security Unit JAC.AL.KLP.0630 (aka “Jackal”) is a protocol-loving construct who leads the Second Mountain Recon Task Force, a quirky squad of over-the-hill bots trying to protect the people of New Lagos Prime. As intergalactic civilization falls apart around them at the hands of runaway synthetic intelligence, the squad must balance protocol against reality as they find their place in this chaotic new existence. If you liked Murderbot or We Are Legion (We Are Bob), you might just like JAC.AL, the first novella in the 5-part Spiral Frontier series.
I am currently seeking representation for JAC.AL and the Spiral Frontier series of novellas.
The Lost Construct
I’m starting to shop around a new title called The Lost Construct. It’s a novel set in a new science fiction universe called The Spiral Frontier. I’m looking for agents and I’m hoping to have some exciting news to share soon!
Pandemic in a Pandemic
When I started the book in November 2019, the pandemic I dreamed up was little more than a plot device to get the characters into an apocalypse and give them a reason to go find a cure and save the world. I had no idea that a month later, we would experience the first global pandemic in a century.
Time Augmented: Roanoke
Today I’m excited to share that I’m writing a book called Time Augmented: Roanoke. It’s a techno-thriller that takes place in a global pandemic.
