When Wyatt signed up for a mystery tour, he thought he was going to a random European city. Instead, he ended up in another dimension. A world where magic is possible, cities are living things, and royalties are more common than habitable landscape. Wayne found himself marvelling at the new world, and yet, the flip side of the endless wonders are endless dangers. With an eccentric guide being their only lifeline, Wyatt and his fellow travellers must learn to adapt in this new world or face being stranded there forever or worse, ending up dead.

The Universe Revealed is my attempt to discuss more thoroughly the main questions that we humans should ask about our existence, our universe and our place in it. These are mostly my thoughts on science, religion and philosophy as it applies to the human condition. My first book, The Theory of Nothing, covered many subjects. This book will be more specific to the big questions about life and what it means.

An otherworldly presence asks an inexperienced writer to save humanity from mental slavery with her storytelling. The writer refuses. She doesn't want to die for a fictional story--a tale about alternate egos in parallel universes living out the choices she could've made for herself, but didn't. Why? A powerful secret society--the Debellator--would kill her and her alternate egos if she exposed the truth about reality to the world. Illusions and deceit have kept the Debellator in control for thousands of years. They've mastered the art of hunting--across parallel worlds--anyone who threatens their reign. The writer eventually caves--choosing to die for the truth of a story instead of living in deceitful illusions. Luckily, she has allies willing to help her (and her alternate egos) slip between the parallel universes to stay off the Debellator's radar. A sexy hunk, a wise mentor and a wicked martial artist are just a few of the unique characters fighting in her corner. However, the writer's most powerful ally is YOU--the reader. An unread story can't shatter the Debellator's walls around human possibility. Your participation is essential. Are you going to help the unlikely heroine by reading her story? Or are you going to let her take a bullet to the brain? The fate of reality depends on you.

"When I was born I was so small I was mistaken for a french fry. I was never an ordinary child. My best friend was a seagull. I was also illegal. Artificially intelligent people like me had been banned ever since that thing with the Twelve Elevens. Mother raised me for profit. Buyers and sellers had other plans for me, but then I grew a mind of my own. This is the story of how my brain ended up inside this box." Candles is a black-market, "artificially intelligent person" (or A.I.P., or "ape" in the colloquial sense, as in 'the planet of the'), an organic being, farm-raised on genetically engineered smoothies and destined for auction to the highest bidding criminal enterprise. Gifted with the ability to communicate with foul-mouthed seagulls and ill-tempered felines, this gender-less, age-less, race-less creature has to find its way to escape from the clutches of its mother and other assorted enemies, in this fairly exciting and ultimately utterly unexpected story.

People in very high places are looking for her, and it is only a matter of time before she is found. *UPDATES EVERY TUESDAY*
