Alarm Clock Dawn

The novel that launched a full-time writing life—and the first novel published on a blockchain, in 2016.

Decades from now, XenTek is the most powerful corporation the world has ever known. People are no longer citizens. They are consumers, ranked by a single number: the credit score. Superstorms rise from greed and consumption. Dissenters burn their Consumer Identification Cards and leave the cities.

Adam Harkin, a loyal company man, has to decide what he is willing to become. First book in a dystopian trilogy about awakening, materialism, and the search for meaning before the clock runs out.

The Perfect Pause: Meditating Your Way to the Ultimate You

Science is catching up with what contemplatives have said for a long time: meditation changes health, attention, and happiness.

Written from more than two decades of practice and teaching. Clear techniques for weaving mindfulness into ordinary days—rewiring for calm, breaking reactive habits, living with a little more intention.

For beginners and for people who have already sat.

Leon Logothetis (The Kindness Diaries): “There is a new world being built, person by person, instead of brick by brick. This world is comprised of kindness, wisdom, gratitude, and love. Read this book carefully and become one of its lucky inhabitants.”

Poems from the Edge of the Apocalypse

The poems in this collection, like the poppy on its cover, serve as both warning and requiem. The poppy is an old symbol of remembrance and the sleep of death—and one of the first blooms to rise from ash. It speaks of loss, and of renewal.

Standing at the edge of a new epoch—where machine intelligence may unravel, redefine, or somehow preserve what is human—these poems ask us to pause and remember. On the brink of a post-human world, the poppy is a plea not to forget what makes us human: fragility, impermanence, the soulful mess of feeling.

Quiet resistance. A reminder that even in a future shaped by algorithms, our fallible humanity still matters.
