Readers searching for authors like William Gibson are not looking for futurism or spectacle. They’re looking for stories that understand power as infrastructureβ€”quiet, invisible, and already in place. That’s where my novel Bertrand aligns.

This is why the oligarchy wants the First Amendment preached at every killing.

You see what has happened. Right? The conservative aggenda fueld by right-wing media have paved the way for oligarchy. Half of the population believes DHS and tiny-hands are saviors.

I don't let anyone lie to me. They lie without consent. Elected government officials, like you, have the authority to stop the lies. The public does not have the authority to stop anything. Except for one thing, citizens can stop government bullets with their bodies, which has become a thing now.

What used to be morality was:

-Constraint
-Obligation
-Cost
-Sacrifice

What passes for it now is often:

-Vocabulary
-Alignment
-Risk avoidance
-Status insurance

Noise isn’t evil. It’s just non-informational.

Defund HLS and get our money back from Bush. Twenty-three years of waste, fraud, and abuse.

Netgalley is tilted to romance and fantasy. It is a poor producer for thriller, speculative.

They're not powerful old men. They are deranged, wealthy filth. You, like them, mistake wealth for power and intelligence.

It will never happen. It's all just for show. Lots of money is getting shoveled into the right -- right pockets. Why would they stop that?

99% of writing advice is written by people who can’t sell books. I don’t hand out comfort food. I hand out knives. Story Map Protocol is the weaponβ€”you want in or you want safe mediocrity?

I'm drafting a second revision for This Could Be It with a knight’s futility: each scene stretched, reforged, 1,200 words of fracture and vow. The tale isn’t for solaceβ€”it is a mirror for those who suspect consciousness alone is fraud. Awakening comes with a blade, not a blessing.
