[ONC 2021 WINNER: 3rd place] When a car accident reveals a shocking secret even he didn't know about himself, an android finds himself hunted by his own husband.

BioSynth is one half of a duology of novellas. Both follow the same sequence of events from different PoVs. BioSynth is Quentin's tale; SynTracker is Ian's. Collectively, they're known as Syn.

≡≡≡

Photographer Quentin Morgan has almost everything he could ask for. With a dream job that takes him all over the world, married to the love of his life for the past eight years, it's only his husband's line of work that leaves a bad taste in his mouth. Ian is a SynTracker, someone who hunts down BioSynths - obsolete yet incredibly dangerous synthetic self-aware weapons that can pass as humans - and returns them to the government, to be reprogrammed and repurposed. Quentin finds the job distasteful, but Ian says they're weapons, and weapons don't weep. 

A car crash that could have killed Quentin reveals the shocking truth: he, himself, is a BioSynth. 

Hurt, scared, and now hunted by the man he loves, who thinks him an impostor, Quentin is thrown into a suddenly hostile world, where the stakes are his very existence.

≡≡≡

BioSynth was written for the Open Novella Contest 2021 and is based on prompt #4: You're a weapon, and weapons don't weep. It features a romance between two men.

All Zane knows is all he was ever told. He lived his life with zero complications and one hundred percent compliance. That is, until he becomes a weapon of mass destruction. Zane, born inside New Vancouver, knows nothing beyond the walls. So when his life takes an unexpected turn from the predictable, easy life he knows, his world flips upside down. He's forced into a human experiment and cursed with supernatural abilities. He encounters a gorgeous boy, and his attraction to him is overwhelming and new. He meets others like him, other subjects of the awful experiment, and finds out just how tangled in the web of lies he is. Zane, trapped inside a facility designed to keep him in, must deal with his unfamiliar attraction and friendships he develops. He struggles to force his old life away and take charge of his new life, but New Vancouver's claws are sunk in far too deep. Thankfully, he doesn't have to. His friends formulate an escape plan and run into some strange and unexpected accomplices along the way. A few felonies and a couple missiles later, Zane and his friends are free of the barbaric walls of New Vancouver. As secrets are revealed and pasts are brought into the light, Zane begins to feel closer and closer to the people he calls his friends. But the orchestrator of the experiment is relentless and pursues them furiously wherever they deem to go. Zane questions the morality of his actions as he fights for what he believes is right and aims to avert total nuclear war. He is forced into the dangerous life of a biological weapon and is thrust into a situation where there is only one choice: face your past or claim your future. And Zane fears he'll choose wrong. **Book 1 of The Paradox Trilogy**

[Book 1 in the CODES series] || Clara is stubborn and installs Roger, an AI program, inside her head in the most unconventional way, but because she's severed Roger's ties to his data, Clara is the only free citizen within a city that wants her mind... and her soul. ** In 2102, after the fall of separate nations, the world stands unified and equal. Under the Province, citizens know only the perfection the Government has to offer. And that's the only world Clara knows; simplicity and technological bliss. So, when Government officials announce the VF program, equipped with the highest artificial intelligence science has to offer, she is all for it. Who wouldn't want a computer assistant that not only takes care of your everyday needs, but is meant to be your bestest friend, too?It sounded as perfect as Province made life out to be. But all good things come with a price. What no one knew about the program meant to mimic the human mind, was that it wanted the human soul. Because no utopia can be built on truths, and no amount of sublimity can cover lies. Clara's only means of survival is the one rogue VF in her mind: Roger. ** | Completed | Exclusive to Wattpad ** featured: 💥 @Speculativefiction - A Crack In The System highest rankings: 💥 #43 in Science Fiction! 4/24/18 💥 #1 in Cyborg 6/16/18 💥 #27 in scifi-fantasy 8/04/18 💥 #1 in Artificial Intelligence 8/04/18 💥 #19 in Cyberpunk 11/29/20 * Awards: ⭐ 2nd Place in Science Fiction -- 2018 The Stella Luna Awards ⭐ 1st Place in Science Fiction -- Cognition Awards 2018 ⭐ 3rd Place in Science Fiction -- The 2018 Flavored Awards ⭐ 1st Place in Science Fiction -- 2nd Annual Ohana Awards ⭐ 2nd Place in Science Fiction -- 2018 Annual Medley Awards

WATTY 2019 WINNER Hale, a state of the art android, can do nearly anything a human can. He cooks meals, cleans and organizes the house, repairs broken appliances, and runs errands. He can even provide for the more carnal needs of his owner. None of these tasks should present any challenge for Hale, and they don't-until he meets his next door neighbour, Rayner. Rayner seems like an unassuming gardener, but he asks Hale a lot of questions. Does Hale wish he could smell or taste food? What would he look like if his appearance hadn't been chosen for him? From the moment they meet, Hale runs into errors in otherwise simple tasks. He experiences bizarre sensations that none of his diagnostic tools can explain, and struggles to appease the people in his owner's social circle. As the errors in his programming begin to wear on his owner's patience, Hale faces the most difficult decision yet. If he can't evolve to meet her needs, he'll be returned and recycled into parts for future androids. If he does evolve, is he still just an android? Or something more? In all this, Rayner is the only man who can help him, and Rayner only has one question left for Hale. What does he want? Hale wasn't designed to want anything, but perhaps he can find the answer in the man with all the questions.
