New York City, 1985. Sequel to A Foot In The Door. Gerry finally landed the promotion he wanted-and a new life with Mary. But balancing love, ambition, and a job where one bad circuit can cost millions isn't easy. Caught between old-school techs with pot breaks and war stories, and a fast-paced digital future, Gerry has to figure out where he belongs... before everything changes. All characters appearing in this book are fictitious. Any resemblance to characters living or dead is purely coincidental.

My first ever novel completed. Each chapter reads like a stand-alone episode, so you can jump in anytime. A slightly older coming-of-age story set in 1980's Brooklyn. Gerry is a 24-year-old AT&T employee stuck in an entry-level job, trying to make sense of his work, his neighborhood, and his dreams; while juggling friendship, loyalty, and love. There's Mary, the girl who might just be his future. And Audrey, the girl who could crush his world with a kiss and a promise. Loud, funny, and unpredictable, this is a story about friendship, chasing the future, and the kind of love that doesn't always play fair. All characters appearing in this work are fictitious. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental.

When the screen freezes, the silence begins to answer. Glitched Choices: All Routes Lead Here is a deliberate confluence of worlds - a meta-narrative chamber where characters do not merely cross paths but redraw each other's outlines. This is not an anthology of cameos. It is a carefully engineered rupture: videogame logic braided to literary form, choices that no longer simulate consequence but impose it. You will open a device and click, and the act of playing will mutate into an act of becoming. Sprunki's mythic absurdities, the brittle courtyards of Wings of the Uncrowned, the claustrophobic routes of Choices of... - none appear as ornaments. They return as structural forces, as artifacts and echoes that bend memory and demand reinterpretation. Mirrors will blink. Tokens will hum. A choker, a melody, a cracked photograph can unmake the distance between reader and role. This book asks for patience and audacity. It is an inquiry into liminality: what happens when narratives leak, when the comfortable machinery of story misfires and the player finds the game looking back. Some doors open to answers; others keep only the echo of your own voice. If you lack familiarity with the source tales, the mystery deepens - and the cost of comprehension may feel uncomfortably dear. The choice to play is the choice to change. Play, and the boundary blinks out. Choose a route. Become its consequence. Crossovers are maps; this book is the territory. ⚠️ Crossover notice: This work integrates characters, lore and motifs from multiple series (including Sprunki (That mysterious boy, and the other books), Wings of the Uncrowned, Choices of... and related works). If you have not read those titles, expect dense references and layered reveals. Read at your discretion.
