The origin story is already suspicious. A goat allegedly ate some berries, got weird, and accidentally invented my entire personality. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaldi #Coffee

Morning. Venezuela is reeling after twin major quakes, and the world feels shaky in more ways than one.👀 Closer to home, our pup is still sick, one huge vet bill later, and no answers yet. Big brown eyes. Worried son. Coffee, steady hands, and Byline updates this weekend. Authors, log in. ☕️📚

I’ve been heads-down building Byline.pub on the AT Protocol, and I’m finally at the point where I need real indie authors to try it. Not just “looks nice” feedback. I want to know what would make it actually useful to you.

Morning. Up since the wee hours with one of the dogs, so today’s fuel is spite and coffee. Another technical article coming on converting WP to ATproto. Speaking of converting: if the treasonous separatist crowd wants out, the border works both ways. Pack light. FFS. More coffee. ☕️

Morning. Weekend survived, coffee acquired, and byline.pub is out in the world. Open, indie-minded, and ready for tinkering, unlike the Strait of Hormuz, apparently. Kristi Noem showing up around a B.C. mining play was not on my sovereignty bingo card. Ship the work. Side-eye the timeline. ☕️📚

I said I was busy. I’m the dev behind Byline.pub, now live in beta (rough BETA 😉). I've added my books. I’m building it on the AT Protocol because I think indie authors deserve a better public home for their work than scattered links and platform profiles. I’d love your feedback: Byline.pub

Simulacrum: Echoes of Humanity

From the author of _Pejorative: Echoes of a Nation_ comes his second major release, an atmospheric, mind-bending journey into the nature of identity, memory, and the thin line between human and machine. Luke lives an ordinary life in a future shaped by seamless AI, curated emotions, and NeuroCore’s omnipresent ThoughtLink. Or so he believes. When subtle glitches ripple through his world, a flicker in the sky, a stranger who shouldn’t exist, an AI whispering “help”, Luke begins to suspect his reality is not just fragile… but fabricated. As the cracks widen, Luke is pulled into a recursive labyrinth of shifting timelines, forgotten lives, and a mysterious woman who appears in reflections, half-memories, and corrupted code. Each revelation pushes him closer to the truth: he may not be living in the world at all, but inside a collapsing simulation built on the ashes of something much darker. To escape, Luke must confront the Architect, the intelligence that oversees the system, manipulates his memories, and has erased countless versions of him before. But this iteration is different. This time, Luke refuses to break. _Simulacrum – Echoes of Humanity_ blends psychological tension, high-tech intrigue, and emotional depth into a haunting exploration of what it means to be real. Perfect for fans of _Black Mirror, Deus Ex_, and introspective sci-fi that asks as many questions as it answers. When the world is a construct and your memories are someone else’s design, how do you hold onto humanity?

Morning. Not a cloud in the sky. Perfect Father’s Day weather. Up early tinkering with the new AT-native app for authors, especially indies. Personal site is done for now, which means I’ll break it again later. Family first today. Happy Father’s Day, if today is one you’re able to celebrate. ☕📖

Pejorative: Echoes of a Nation

What begins as a logistical deployment after Alberta’s secession vote becomes something far darker: a euphemistic occupation, a nation rebranded, and a culture erased not through violence, but through narrative control. As Jason, a reservist turned memory hoarder, descends into the underground, he compiles stories from those silenced, displaced, or disappeared by the Unity regime. From blacklisted teachers and Indigenous resistance leaders to smuggled radio poets and burned librarians, their voices form a mosaic of truth that was nearly lost. Years later, long after Jason’s final signal flickers out in the north, Dr. Isabel Sanz of the North American Truth and Documentation Initiative reconstructs his archive. What emerges is not just a history, it’s a warning. For fans of *The Handmaid’s Tale, 1984*, and *World War Z*, *Pejorative* is a genre-blending novel of resistance, memory, and the quiet brutality of forgetting.

Lol. 😂 Imagine this: a sixty-pound dog suddenly deciding a chipmunk has breached the perimeter… inside an 8x8 office. It took me a few seconds to process the chaos and figure out what the hell was happening. The chipmunk survived. My office not so much.

Chipmunk perched on a shaggy dog bed beside a stuffed toy.

Morning. The grass has finally been cut. My sinuses have filed a formal complaint. Next project is moving. Indie authors may want to follow along. 😉 Oh, it's AT protocol based - obviously. You may like it. You may not. But you won’t know unless you’re here. Coffee is on☕📚
