I write experimental literary fiction, and I publish it myself.

As founder of Vehemently Inked LLC, I make books for readers who want to be asked something, not handed everything: work that is precise, deliberate, and built to do something to you rather than simply be read.

My major work, Synchronization, was published September 2, 2026, and is available now in hardcover. It is not a novel written about an artificial intelligence; it is written as one. The narration boots inside the book; the reader becomes the final node. It is ergodic fiction: nonlinear, encoded, as much navigation as narration. Reading it is work, and that is the point.

I am also the author of The Epochs of Synchronization: Cryptoamnesia, Cryptoanomaly, and Cryptogenesis, e

It’s not a riddle to solve—it’s a system you’re inside. If you’re unsettled, if it doesn’t give you what you’re looking for, that’s the design. This isn’t a book you close.

Writing the Future in Pieces: A Serialized Speculative Fiction Project

"I’m building a serialized speculative fiction project focused on identity, psychological disruption, and system resistance in a near-future framework. It’s dark, cerebral, and personal — not tech-driven, but thought-driven."

“You didn’t forget. You were overwritten.”
― David A. Lyons

“Cryptoamnesia isn’t a story with answers.

It’s a system designed to blur them.
If you’re looking for closure, you won’t find it.
If you’re looking for clarity, you’ll end up doubting your memory.
There’s no hero. No enemy. Just erosion—of thought, of truth, of you.”
― David A. Lyons

“You didn’t forget. You were overwritten.”
