Be careful what you wish for. The old cliché can really be a problem when the one granting it has no interest in giving you what you want. Hunter is forced into a life he didn't want when his wish is deliberately misconstrued. How will he handle suddenly waking up as his dream girl instead of getting the body of his dreams? Perhaps he can convince the demon to restore what is lost before she convinces him he's better off this way. Then again, she can hear his thoughts and has been playing this game for millennia so the odds are not in his favor.

Sheskuna, the immortal demon, delights in the torment of mortals. Thankfully, she loves the sport of the game and will only harass those who make a wish with her. If there is one lesson she teaches her victims, it's to be careful what you wish for. This is the title page for the Sheshkuna stories.

What makes you the person you are? If it's just your beliefs, abilities, and memories, can your mind be replaced without destroying you? Is there still a point in doing anything when machines are better at doing everything?

Kaleb Kardashev is determined to create a technological utopia, but President Stone just wants to preserve human dignity. What are they willing to sacrifice to achieve their vision of the future?

No! It happened again?

I think it just happened again! I was writing chapter 2 of Kronos when my keyboard stopped working. I tried typing in other places besides word, but it wasn’t doing anything. I went to turn off my computer and then the mouse froze. I tried doing a hard reset (holding the power button) and it didn’t do anything either. After a few minutes my laptop turned off, but the power button is staying lit and won’t do anything when I press it.

What if you could process more information in one second than most people can in a month? For starters, in one minute you would experience more subjective time than other people experience in five years. In fifteen minutes, you’d have thought more thoughts than most people have in a lifetime, just over 81 years’ worth to be precise.

What if I told you that’s just the power of augmenting the human mind? What if instead of augmenting a human mind we used the power of a small star? In one second, that Matrioshka Brain would have more ‘thoughts’ than even an augmented human would have in 75,000 years.

At these absurd limits what isn’t possible?

With the advent of true virtual reality, Alex escaped into the hyper-realistic world of Eldertale. For he had always wanted to be a woman, but never had the confidence to transition. So what happens when the world he loves comes to an end?

Eldertale Updates...

The gist...

  1. The story ‘Eldertale’ (featuring Alexa) has been renamed to ‘The Elementalist’ since I plan to write two other stories within the Eldertale universe
  2. Chapter 2 & maybe chapter 3 of ‘The Elementalist’ should be published between Oct 8-12
  3. I am publishing the lore for Eldertale, but it is not required to enjoy the story, and is unlikely to be enjoyable to most people

Death isn’t the end, but is the opportunity to begin again.
This is the story of second chances and unforeseeable

Synergy - Chapter Four

Synergy.jpg

I would soon learn the mistake I had made to cure my incessant boredom; I had led mankind down a road that only gods should traverse. The mistake that came from ignorance and curiosity would change not only my destiny, but that of mankind itself. But like any event there is a point in time where all the threads meet, a time when the slightest change has the greatest impact, its synergy.

Update about my year's hiatus

At first I had writers block for several months, not being able write much I didn't hate. Afterwards I got absorbed in my own life and my old laptop died. This was bad because I had my story outline and research there, and of course it wasn't backed up. However, I have gotten back into writing and am happy with how chapter 3 is coming. Although I won't be able to write chapter 4+ until I can redo my research, trying to keep it somewhat historically accurate with names and all that.

Sorry for the delay

I apologize for the delay. I know I said that I was planning to make one per week; however, this obviously did not happen. I had written most of chapter two before things kept me too busy to write. This lasted for around two weeks, but it's been laziness that has kept me from finishing chapter two. I believe that I will finish writing it today or tomorrow, and then will edit it Sunday. Therefore, I hope to post the story Sunday and then every-other Sunday from then on. Thanks for your patience and sorry for the delay.
