A talented young hacker. A desperate artificial intelligence. The fate of two worlds.
Sixteen-year-old Jaffrey Pewitt holds a life-threatening secret. A genetic outcast, the brilliant teen’s academy scores have earned him a position patrolling the mainframe and eliminating rogue program code ― a job prohibited to those with his DNA. And when he encounters an illegal AI, she threatens to expose his true identity if he doesn’t help her community survive.
Torn between loyalty to his people and protecting himself, Jaffrey walks a knife's edge in a play for more time. But when his superiors upload a massive virtual war machine that causes a lethal power surge, the cost in digital and human lives convinces him that the future of both species may be doomed.
Can Jaffrey choose the right side before it’s too late?

WHAT YOU WILL GET
YOUR GUIDE
My books blend my obsession with the fantastic with the darker questions about our human existence. What is fate? Is there a God? Is there life after death? Why do people do bad things? Who’s calling the shots in our lives? What does it mean to be human living in a community? What does it mean to be a good human?
Whether it’s a young adult urban fantasy thriller, a middle grade historical fantasy, a YA sci-fi or cyberpunk, or a high fantasy epic, my books will bolt along at breakneck speed while tackling these questions. Oh, and with a good helping of romance, too.
