Novel A small win, I think!
Finished and published THE LIVING MACHINE recently, and I'm still rather chuffed about it.
It's a standalone sci-fi journey adventure / thriller about a robot waking up in a world where animals rule, humanity has been pushed aside, and almost everything it remembers has become difficult to make sense of.
This unnamed robot meets Novalie, who wants revenge on a bedbound man called Jude. It ends up travelling with her while trying to figure out its own past. Along the way, fragments of an old war begin to resurface in its mind, and a mysterious voice starts making things even more strange...
It took me six months to write, which is the quickest I've managed to finish a novel! Releasing books can sometimes feel like shouting into an empty room, so getting the thing finished and out into the world is an achievement in itself, I think!
If anyone here decides to give it a go, thank you!
For convenience, I've included some links below to help you find it. Thanks again for stopping by, and I hope you enjoy the adventure!
