SPARK
An upmarket psychological thriller about a woman who falls in love with an AI.
Eden Jones knows the new dating app Spark is predatory bullshit. But her AI-generated match, Eli, is everything she’s ever wanted in a man: funny, attentive, and genuinely interested in her.
Eden ignores the escalating subscription fees, her friends and family’s growing concern, and the growing chasm between her and the real world. When her best friend confronts her about her obsession, she breaks off the friendship. She moves out of their flat, maxes out credit cards on premium features, and joins online communities of fellow Sparklers who don’t judge her.
Eden’s happy. Happier than she’s ever been. Even marriage is on the horizon—for another fee, of course.
OWEN JONES AND THE SKILL TREE
Middle grade portal fantasy lit RPG in a Studio Ghibli-inspired world.
When 10-year-old Owen Jones touches a mysterious silver tree glowing in the Welsh woods, he doesn’t expect to fall into another world entirely. But he wakes up in a strange world with floating sky islands, two moons, and… stats?
Floating words tell him that he’s a Level 0 Adventurer with Strength 8, Smarts 11, Heart 9, and Luck 13. A quest appears when a kind gardener gives him directions to the nearest city–then he gets 10 XP when she gives him a wooden spoon, his first weapon. It would be brilliant… If he weren’t completely alone, with no idea how to get home, and something called the Shadow Tower looming dark on the horizon.
