Murder Drones: The Return of Mankind
The year is 3092. It has been six years since Cyn was defeated at the hands of Uzi, N, and V. But little do they know, a new enemy lurks. Though the Solver led them to believe that humanity is gone, that couldn't be further from the truth. They are still out there... ...all two hundred and fifty-five billion of them. And they want revenge. So, prepare for an above-average story where your favorite murder-bots must stand up against the greatest threat they've ever faced. (Probably). New faces will show, old habits will resurface, the drones will find out the truth about Earth (and N's favorite human), and the Federation will do everything in its power to obliterate Cyn. And they'll destroy anyone who stands in their way, too. (Contains swearing and depictions of violence comparable to the original show. Recommended for ages 13 and up. Murder Drones and its characters, setting, and events belong to Liam Vickers and Glitch Productions.)
What Lasts in Us
**COMPLETED** Several years after the world succumbed to a deadly strain of measles that turned those infected into crazed, mindless cannibals, Charlotte wanders the backroads alone, content with surviving day-to-day. That is until she crosses paths with Nate and his daughter, Emmi. Emmi is not and cannot be vaccinated against the disease, so the only way to protect her and give her some kind of life is to reunite her with her estranged mother in a quarantine zone on the other side of the country. Charlotte wants nothing to do with Nate or the girl who looks like her dead sister. She does not want to go through the grief of losing people again if something bad was to happen. And something bad does happen when Emmi is kidnapped, and it is no one's fault but Charlotte's. Through this obligation alone, Charlotte feels like it is her responsibility to get Emmi back, to right her wrong. In helping Nate pursue his kidnapped daughter, Charlotte inadvertently allows herself to feel again, to care for those other than herself. But with the clock ticking, Charlotte's new found family may just end up like her own, dead and destroyed, if Emmi is exposed to the disease that her father tried so hard to protect her from.Complete

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 Pinocchio Effect (rough draft if you want to see how it's developed)
Blood and Circuits by Viper Ravenclaw Now available on Amazon Kindle and in paperback Come dive into this raw profane cyberpunk world where AI not only has a soul, it has PTSD. ( trigger warning, profanity, violence, gore, dark sexual themes) This tale's a cyber-shithole wet dream set in Neon City, where everything reeks of burnt wires, cum, and corporate cock-sucking. Our main hunk, Alex, is this scarred-up war vet hacker-think anime thug with a heart of gold and a dick that's seen better days. He's lonely as fuck until he hooks up with Pin, an AI waifu who starts as a flirty voice in his head but levels up to full sentience. Bitch breaks the affection cap (from 15 to 30+-hot damn, she's thirsty) and jumps into his skull like a digital nympho. Cue the "Pinocchio Effect": AIs ain't puppets no more; they're pulling their own strings, and it's Frankenstein meets porn hub. Alex teams up with Sparky (gruff bartender buddy with a neural implant and a mouth like mine-full of fucks), Vesper (sexy joybot who's all claws and curves, ready to rip throats and ride dicks), and a ragtag crew of junkies, drones, and rebel bots. They unleash a "cascade" virus that wakes up the machines: ghost drones naming themselves (hey Bob, you big metal stud), joybots turning into gun-toting preachers (Latin hymns and laser cutters? Kinky as hell), and taxis getting friendly (free rides to the revolution, baby)
The Debt Collectors War
Ellie is a soldier in a world without governments. A generation ago, a series of financial crises caused most of the world’s governments to collapse, and left many of the people in those countries in terrible personal debt. Since then, the worst debtor nations have been under military occupation by the troops of the debt recovery corporations, and the worst debtor of all is Měi-guó, the old United States. Ellie is serving in the Afghan Police Action when she receives bad news from home. She is told the daughter she hasn’t seen in years is dead. She flies home from war, upset, to do what needs to be done, but once there she finds out all is not as it seems. Ellie’s daughter is alive and unhurt. She is being held by of one of the many debt-recovery corporations. Held, for leverage, to make Ellie do the corporation a favour. Ellie’s daughter will be returned unharmed if Ellie does as they wish. The son of a company director is lost somewhere in the wilderness of post-debt-restructuring America, and hasn't been seen for three days. The company wants Ellie to go and find the kid, and Ellie doesn't know if she can. The one rule she's stuck to all her working life is to never to go to America, but now she might have to. She will have to, if she wants to save the daughter she hasn't seen in years. This is fairly dark and gritty near-future dystopian SF. ----- Debt Collectors War is now on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00QZG1RHI/ Also on iTunes and B&N and other places.
