Project Genesis

It’s been tough waiting for readers to get back to me about No Mere Zombie. I gave them until the 25th, and initially thought I’d use February to work on Vampires Don’t Sparkle. This worked for a while, and I finished the first 25,000 words (about 100 pages), but I kept running into problems.

The plot could still change in book 2 based on reader feedback, so it makes it hard to complete book 3. On Friday I decided to take a little break and work on the prologue for a companion series to Deathless. It has familiar faces like Trevor and our friends at Mohn corp, but it deals with The Builders instead of everyone’s favorite undead.

Here’s a sneak peek at the rough draft for the blurb. Does this sound like something you’d read? I hope so, because I’ve cranked out a staggering 50,000 words over the last week. I like the premise, I like writing in the first person and I love the super powers:

It’s X-Files meets Heroes.

Project Genesis

I write software at a startup in Silicon Valley, where Google is king and Elon Musk holds court. I have my dream job, but I also have a secret.

We are not alone. The last time I was taken I was fourteen. Three weeks ago I had my twenty-eight birthday, and part of me knows that they will soon come again.

I devoted my life to technology so I’d be ready when they returned. Others have prepared too, and I will find them. Together we will harness the abilities they have given us.

We are Project Genesis. It’s time to fight back.
