Robots have become a modern staple.
The Big Three, three mega-robotics companies, have set up a monopolistic control of the worldwide robotics market, selling everything from the most basic, task-oriented units to androids, the humanlike metallic jacks-of-all-trades.
And then there is Veda.
She's young and the most gifted robotics engineer the world has ever seen. And the only thing about her equal to her intelligence with robotics is her reclusiveness. Unwilling to be recruited by the underhanded Big Three and turned into a researching and developing slave, Veda has hidden herself from the world since she could learn how to build a circuit. In her home, she has tinkered and built robots that the world has never known.....
But when a good friend of hers and a Head Roboticist at one of the Big Three goes missing and foul-play is suspected, a detective named Andrew comes to her door, hoping to get some information about this disappearance. What he finds is not the solution to a mystery, but a world of mechanical engineering that delves into the realms of taboo so deeply that he is caught up in the conspiracy of it all.
And more important than the task he originally set out to complete, Andrew meets a miraculous creation, something so new and different that it could change the world, or even the course of human history.
His name is Sam.

One Last Task
(I'm actually going to publish this series on amazon if you want a copy) In a world where shadows hold secrets and systems control lives, two paths begin to converge-one forged in secrecy, the other in curiosity. Red Snake has spent her life inside the system, trained to follow orders, bury emotion, and survive. But when whispers of rebellion surface and her own identity begins to crack, she starts to question everything she's been taught. Especially when the truth might cost her everything-including her life. Meanwhile, Haven and her tight-knit group of friends-Mason, Sam, and Alex-aren't part of the system... but they're about to uncover it. Armed with scattered documents, theories scribbled across Mason's bedroom walls, and drinks from their favorite café, they begin to unravel a hierarchy more sinister than they could have imagined: Council → Mr. Price → Staff → Operatives → Students. As Red Snake plans her escape and Haven's group closes in on the truth, their worlds inch closer to collision. But in a game of manipulation and buried pasts, not everyone wants to be saved. A story of found family, hidden pasts, and the price of freedom-perfect for fans of twisty conspiracies, layered characters, and slow-burning revolution.Complete
I AM NOT A ROBOT
IMPORTANT NOTICE, PLEASE READ!: Though this story will remain up, it is not a polished product I'm all too proud of. Someday, some of the book's aspects may change; plot, some characters, etc. Think of this like a first draft, and I'm working on the not-first-draft. :D) Thank you so much for bearing with me, and I hope you enjoy I Am Not A Robot as it is, and as it will be! _____________ Bolts. The new-age phrase for robots. You may think that robots that can think for themselves is a bad idea. Well, so does the Government. Nobody knows the exact year. Or how long robots have been banned on punishment of death. All anybody knows is smoke, acid rain, and metal. And nobody thinks anything of it. Robots with minds as alive as yours being murdered in the slowest way possible? Normal.There are no uprisings. There are no rebellions. As far as everyday people go, the world is perfectly fine. As long as there are no robots. Because if there are, it's a kangaroo court on their fate. Aaran Sozos has spent the majority of her young life accused of being a robot. And as I'm sure you're aware, reader, if people call you something enough, you start to believe it. But when a classmate calls upon her help to find a missing brother, they need to search outside of the city. A city that is suspended above the earth. That is inhabited by robots. All I can tell you now is that they're doing a better job of keeping the mother nature happy than we ever could. But keep in mind, mother nature doesn't mind murder, either.Complete

Mira Chen, a mechanical genius abandoned by her family's pride, builds machines with heart but struggles to connect to people.

Together, they form Phantom-an underground problem-solving unit that tackles puzzles no agency can crack. From cyberterrorism to biochemical sabotage, from runaways to runaway trains, each mission pushes them closer to the truth: someone is watching them. And not just watching-pulling strings. As personal secrets begin to unravel and the missions grow deadlier, the team must face a terrifying possibility: The most dangerous enemy... might be the one who brought them together. --- Would you like an alternate version with a more mystery or thriller tone?
