An epic adventure, an unreliable narrator, an intense cast of characters. Follow a digital subroutine from a 21st century Earth VR simulation that uploads himself into an advanced synthetic body, yet still identifies as human, when he wakes up on a gargantuan space freighter piloted by a 100-year-old sperm whale named Jonas, who offers him a job he can't refuse. There are monkey eating lizard men, diamond scout ships, galactic witch cults with hordes of genetically altered space wolves, a naked tattooed female stunt bike rider, puppies, a gang of reincarnated save-the-whalers, an Israeli spy general, Inuits from the 1800s, hulk bodied Zero-G commandos, rainbow squid, indestructible rust robots, an aging biologist trapped in a young girl's body, secret oceans in the storage decks, technology hating narwhals, acid guns, giant wasps, red lightning electric samurai swords, Ursa Minor Gnomes, a nebula belching wormhole, and of course, sperm whales: social big brained computer geniuses and the best starship pilots in the galaxy.

Alsha Medi is not good at lying. She is a loud and forthright theater major, at home in underground punk shows or behind a fencer's mask. But after losing a love that consumed two years of her life, Alsha realizes how her brashness has left her ill-equipped for the real world, and for the London theater scene. Lost and low on cash, she finds herself an open book in a world of performers and pretending, a game she can hardly play. When she receives a mysterious invitation to visit Shakespeare's Globe at midnight, she figures she has nothing to lose. What she discovers is just how much truth lies beneath the masquerade world she has come to know, and how much of a deceiver she must become to save it. A Foil in Red is Harry Potter meets Shakespeare, a story of demons, theater, love, lies, and magic. Led by a hare trigger protagonist, with a cast of lush and deliciously secretive characters rendered in flourishing prose, it asks where the acting stops and our true selves begin, and what lies we need to save ourselves. Hold your applause, and welcome to the performance at the end of the world.

Buckle in for a high-octane journey, with constant threats by outlaws, the authorities, and the crew's own past.

When everyone IRL lies, the only person you can trust is an NPC. Thanks to Bone Diggers like Owen exposing the lives behind the code, dirty little secrets can't just be hidden behind player avatars anymore. When his two worlds blur, he must decide which is more important: his freedom, or the game. The right choices will be rewarded with fame, fortune, and adventure. Wrong calls could cost him both lives. Still, playing the game is what Owen does, and he's good at it...as long as his real-life adventures don't prove more perilous than his digital swordfights. In the real world, there is no walkthrough. Wattpad Featured Science Fiction Crystal Awards Winner | LGBTQ SFF Winner in The Ooorah's Now available for wherever books are sold!
