"Do you know why the flowers never bloom?" The world has grown dormant. The sun has become a rare sight behind the clouds, the seas are calm, the winds hardly ever blow, and, most alarming of all, the flowers have ceased blooming.

Book 1 of the Wakeful Wanderer's series. A captivating, fresh envisioning of a climate-changed future seen from two starkly different cultural perspectives, The Wakeful Wanderer's Guide to New New England & Beyond follows the paths of a runaway aristocrat, a Luddite tyrant, a spy seeking retribution, and a wandering historian unicycling north along the crumbling Boston Post Road. Winner of the Watty Award: Newcomer Category 2017 Marto Boxter is a plucky journalist with a head full of implants. He is planning a unicycle ride from his town of Reverside-on-Hudson through the climate-altered communities of New New England, posting his thoughts in real time for his interconnected followers via technological telepathy. Before he can go on tour, a wanderer named Helen arrives with secret information that throws Marto's placid world into turmoil. Miles to the south, Barnabas Yoniver IV, the leader of a Luddite town launches a plot to disrupt the life of all upgraded human beings and bring them back to the traditional economy of markets and governments. Meanwhile, rival Luddite families plot to prevent Barnabas from grabbing too much power for himself. This darkly humorous reflection of our changing world is an exploration of what it means to be human as our relationships with technology become increasingly intimate.

When Ami first woke up in a danky, old and dusty museum, her mission was clear and simple. "Destroy the crippled Warlock." But without knowing who the cripple was or how to destroy anything, she spent several formative years exploring the boundaries of her city and the capabilities of its denizens. After lots of rooftop stalking, unorthodox autopsies, silent observation and, frankly, some aimless wandering. She's put in front of her target. Seemingly moved by the hand of fate itself. And yet she couldn't bring herself to kill the charismatic Warlock. "Not yet."- Now Ami rides. Side by side with Ebrain; a self proclaimed Cultist. Carefully overseen by his corpulent chauffeur; the Penitent ex-convict Doretto. Exploring a world that feels tiny and dense, but surprisingly granular. Like the inside of a sun. Debating over what's truly important for her. Fighting against the nagging murmurs of her core directives. Learning to solve problems with more than a simple swipe of her trusty blade. And exploring the nigh infinite possibilities that NeoVen has to offer to her kind and her kin. That night... Poor choices were made by everyone... Hell! Some even chose twice.
