the Series Begins...
Into the BeanStalk
Jack is a techie and long-time shut-in, driven to save her father from corporate servitude. That means getting her hands on scrip, and lots of it. Going into debt with the most violent bikers in Hope Megacity will get her the cybernetic limbs she needs to overcome her disabilities, but that’s only the beginning.

Having problems with Atticus when formatting your books? I've been dealing with lag and lost files for a month now, but thanks to Atticus support, the problems are finally gone! 🥳 Video explains it but tl;dw is that you can roll back to the previous STABLE version in your account settings. Weeks of fighting with it and it was that simple. 🙄 Now I have to go finish The Game State...because I finally CAN. #indieauthor #scifi #writing #writingtools #atticus

Looks like I have some proofing to do this weekend! 🔍 Good thing I ordered physical proofs since the back cover artwork appears to have crept a bit to the left 🤔 Dang publishing gremlins! #cyberpunk #scifi #bookstagrammer #indieauthor #paperback
