After nearly ten years of work, I'm thrilled to announce the launch of my debut novel, Vastland, which is now available on Substack. I'll be releasing two chapters a week until we reach the end in February.
"Dr. Emélie Desjardins, a disgraced cosmologist with a fragmented consciousness, is recruited into a proxy war between Earth and a rogue AI on Mars when her expertise in gravitational anomalies links her to Origin, a drug that allows users to teleport via a parallel reality known as the Manifold. As Emélie ventures deeper into the Hesperides Cartel’s web of corporate espionage and interplanetary conspiracy, she discovers Origin's true purpose extends far beyond drug running. With each subsequent Jump through the Manifold, Emélie risks her sanity and the stability of reality itself while being forced to reckon with violence in pursuit of truth, her own identity, and the possibility that her past may hold the key to preventing an all-out interdimensional war."
Vastland is a mashup of my two loves: cyberpunk + acid westerns. If you're into quantum tripping, wetware drug mules, and clandestine three-letter organizations, this might be for you.
