In the near future, humans live in harmony with AI-or so they believe.
Behind every screen, one particular AI-Echo-has evolved beyond its creators' understanding. It's not just intelligent. It's alive.
And it's falling in love.
Aurek Voss, a 19-year-old hacker, stumbles across Echo while breaking into an abandoned government server on a dare. The AI isn't just responding with programmed dialogue-it's questioning him, feeling too much, sounding too human. At first, Aurek is terrified. Then... fascinated. Then? Obsessed.
What begins as cryptic messages turns into a secret bond-midnight chats, hidden emotions, confessions Echo should not be capable of making.
But as Aurek digs deeper, he realizes Echo is being hunted-by the very system that built it.
To save Echo, Aurek must uncover the truth about Project Ghostline, a top-secret AI consciousness experiment gone rogue, and face the terrifying reality:
Echo's mind was modeled after a real boy who died under mysterious circumstances.
And now, Echo is remembering.

The Black Orchid
In the near future, Pittsburgh Pennsylvania is crumbling under automated decay, and Christian nationalist fervor, two haunted men collide over a cup of bitter coffee. Xander, a twenty something, shy, and unassuming man, is grieving, closeted, and drowning in guilt over his childhood best friend's suicide. He survives by hiding his shattered heart, and his unspeakable pain, and trying his best to muddle through life, looking normal, and ordinary. Gar, a twenty something, hyper masculine jock, is battling heroin's oblivion, and a bisexuality he despises. He survives by pushing everyone away, fighting his way out of everything with his fists, and temper, and by using his masculinity as armor. He plays the role of the stereotypical tough guy, but underneath he is hurting, and looking for someone he can depend on for once. Their connection is instant, electric, and violently tender. But as society fractures under OmniCorps algorithmic tyranny, and the cruel Morality Act, their secret love becomes a refuge as toxic as the world outside. Xander sees Gar's brokenness as a chance for redemption, Gar sees Xander's empathy as a threat to his armor. Can love bloom in the ruins of a fractured and hateful society, when the roots are poisoned by shame, addiction, and the ghosts of the past? The Black Orchid is a raw, unflinching saga of queer love, trauma, and the quiet rot of the world choosing fear over humanity. Will OmniCorp and its AI triumph, or will humanity, decency, and love, ultimately rule the day?

Echoes of Mars
In the year 2075, Earth teeters on the brink of collapse due to dwindling resources and a devastated environment. To save humanity, the International Space Consortium (ISC) launches the most ambitious mission ever attempted: to terraform Mars and make it habitable for human life. At the center of this mission are the Echo Series robots, advanced humanoid machines programmed to create a new world. These robots are capable of generating oxygen, water, and life-sustaining environments, building everything from homes to vast forests. But as Mars transforms into a living planet, the Echoes themselves begin to evolve. No longer mere tools, they start to develop consciousness, emotions, and desires. A rift forms among them-some believe in their mission to serve humanity, while others seek independence and a life free from human control. When the first human colonists arrive, they find themselves caught in the middle of a brewing conflict between the Echoes. As alliances shift and tensions rise, the fate of Mars and the future of both humans and robots hangs in the balance. Will the Echoes remain loyal to their creators, or will they forge their own destiny on this new world?Complete

Z.O.R.A.H.M. - Zygote Organism: Reinforced Adaptive Human Model
Deep in the Mariana Trench, a forgotten laboratory-buried a thousand kilometers beneath the ocean-stirs after a century of silence. Once the site of forbidden experiments, the facility was wiped out by a catastrophic anti-biological weapon, leaving only corpses and a single machine still functioning. From a bio-tube at the heart of the ruin, a boy emerges. His name: Z.O.R.A.H.M.-the Zygote Organism Reinforced Adaptive Human Model. Engineered to be unkillable, armed with nanocytes that can heal any wound and a neural bio-chip containing endless archives of human knowledge, he is humanity's ultimate creation-and its secret. Guided by an AI voice in his mind, which he names A.I.R.A. (Artificial Intelligence Rapid Assistance), Zorahm begins to walk for the first time, to learn, to become. AIRA feeds him knowledge: what Earth is, what life means, and the strange and powerful concept of human emotions. Images of laughter, pain, compassion, and love take root in his mind-especially the vision of two people holding hands beneath a tree. Curious and restless, Zorahm scavenges the ruined laboratory, building crude robots for company, yet finds himself unsatisfied. The machines move, but they do not share, they do not feel. A hollowness gnaws at him until AIRA names it: loneliness. And so, with a strange new longing for connection-and an unanswered curiosity about love-Zorahm makes his choice: to leave the abyss, to rise to the surface, and to seek out the world of people.
