Shattered Silicon
In the fractured world of the twenty-second century, America is no longer whole. Flooded coastlines, toxic wastelands, and balkanized blocs divide the continent, while the Spires of the Western Union rise as gleaming monuments to corporate power. Romulus Vale is a combat medic in Triage Unit 17, patching up the bodies that keep the Spire system running. When a mission goes wrong, he suffers a mortal head injury and awakens with something else inside his skull. The Bodhi Chip. A prototype neural co-processor that stitches broken minds together, quantum-synchronized with the threads of human thought. To Romulus, it feels like salvation. To SamSara Circuits, it is the future of humanity. But as he begins to test the chip's limits, memories blur, perceptions fracture, and he starts to question whether the man who opened his eyes in the hospital is the same one who nearly died in the field. Drawn into a shadow war between megacorporations, foreign powers, and a techno-theocratic cult seeking fragments of a shattered artificial intelligence, Romulus and his squad must confront enemies both human and inhuman. Every lead pulls him deeper into a mystery about what it means to be alive, and what it means to be replaced. As loyalties fracture and the weight of his choices mount, Romulus discovers a terrible truth: the battle for survival may not be against machines, but against the very definition of humanity. Dystopian and visceral, weaving cyberpunk grit with philosophical horror, Samsara Circuits asks a timeless question: when memory and flesh are no longer yours, what part of you is left to save?

The Electric Archipelago (WIP)
This is the first draft of my new cyberpunk novel, The Electric Archipelago. In the future humanity is imprisoned by massive corporations. Computers are directly connected to their brains, creating a nightmarish state of absolute control, every action is monitored and harshly judged. Perhaps worst of all, the victim's perception of reality itself is controlled. A system of social credit hangs over everyone's heads. If you want to survive you will need to pick a company and stay loyal to that brand. But it goes beyond that, because each corporation has been infiltrated and taken over by forces that are interested in more than just profit. John is a Skinwalker, a free man, a man who is immune to these restrictions. He goes where he wants and does what he wants, moving from one augmented reality to the next, always looking for the next score.Complete

And to complicate things, many fear that the "Mark of the Beast" is the sign that the devil wishes to gain more control of the world.

Personally, I felt like there was still a lot more of the world that I could explore, along with themes of consequence that I could play with using characters I knew and understood. ]Complete
