I am author Cypress Butane of St. Louis, where I run the writing group 'The Monarch Writers'  https://www.themonarchwriters.com/ - We have a discord that is open to writers from all over - check us out!

I am currently at work on a science fiction novel series which examines the clashes and intersections of technology and spirituality, titled 'Quo Vadis, Sailor?' named for a classic line from the gnostic Jesus meaning "Where are you going?" (Quo Vadis?) and that infamous line prostitutes have used on their Johns as they head into port for millennia: 'Where ya headed, Sailor?'

'QV,S?' mixes several plots about Virtual Reality, Artificial Intelligence, Time-Viewing, High-Tech Street Drugs, and the Auspices of Heaven vs. Those Who Seek to Steal & Sell the Innocence of Youth, - into a Confusion of Alchemical Crucible-Burning, Attempting to Find Something Shiny, and Perhaps, Worthwhile Within.
