Screenplay

Good things come to those who wait. That's what Annie's always believed. It's why, when her fiancé Keith launched his nanotech company, Annie set aside law school to help. It's why she went all-in, trusting the company's success to make her degree moot. Law school was for her mother anyway. After Rebirth goes public, she and Keith will be rich enough to do whatever they want ... like working on her award-winning student screenplay - the real dream she gave up to grow the business. But with the finish line in sight (and creative dreams dancing in Annie's head), Keith starts to act suspiciously. He's been spending a lot of time with his attractive lawyer, working late nights. After all the lean years and sacrifices, it's just not fair. Keith would never cheat, would he? But if not, why is he acting like a cheater? Annie isn't usually vengeful, but her hand's been forced. She faces a decision: Should she let Keith play her like a sucker, or should she be strong like the heroine of her screenplay? Should she sit by like a chump ... or make a deal with Rebirth's competitors to get what she deserves? In the heat of an affair, nothing is what it seems - and Hell hath no fury like an artist scorned.

The Beam: Season Two: The Beam, Book 2

See how deep deception goes…in the sci-fi political thriller that has readers screaming for more. Two weeks after the end of The Beam's first groundbreaking season, one thing is abundantly clear: the more the world changes, the harder those in power work behind the curtain to keep it all the same. With Shift, the NAU's national election, now just days away, the country's political parties fight even harder to win the citizen's minds—minds that are almost all permanently connected to The Beam, addicted to connectivity more deeply than any drug. Only those with the courage to think for themselves can work to change what seems like a certain future. Meanwhile, using the screaming pundits on ubiquitous viewscreens as cover, an organization advances human enhancements further than they were ever meant to go—further than the struggling, crumbling NAU can hope to survive. Doc is still on the run after his near-fatal case of mistaken identity. Kai wants to help him, but not as much as she wants to protect herself—a job that's becoming harder and harder. Leah is stuck with old man Crumb, who has emerged from madness into lucidity with sudden, almost frightening speed. And Nicolai wants nothing more than to cut ties with the Ryans, who have controlled his life since long before he knew their true purpose … but politics is a dirty game, and no one gets away clean. Shift is heating up. All the petty games played around it have had their stakes raised to lethal levels. And in the face of its relentless, implacable advance, not everyone will make it out alive. Continue the thrilling series that listeners are calling the greatest thing to hit sci-fi in decades.

The Beam: Season 1: The Beam, Book 1

A sci-fi political thriller set in a terrifyingly real future When all of humanity is connected, the center of the web is the seat of true power. The world's old political borders have dissolved. The NAU is civilization's carcass, a nation ruled by two political parties: Enterprise, the sink-or-swim party where each party member has no one else to blame for their starvation or astronomical wealth; and Directorate, whose members have a guaranteed safety net but can never rise above their station. Every six years, an election determines the NAU's future. The process is called Shift, and the next one is approaching. With humanity intertwined by way of the Beam—a hyper-advanced version of the Internet that serves every whim and need—Shift is the be-all and the end-all. More than an electoral method, it is the future's political discourse. In the midst of tumultuous politics, some players are making their own moves. Doc, a black-market nanoenhancement vendor, discovers a disturbing trend of upgrades among his clientele. Nicolai, political speechwriter for the head of Directorate, struggles to find his independence in a life that is supposed to be devoted to the Party, all the while unaware of his own terrifying connection to the Beam. And Kai, an escort and assassin as lethal as she is flexible, becomes embroiled in the machinations of her top clients—because after all, the political elite choose only the best to warm their sheets at night. And through it all, a shadowy group is pulling strings behind the scenes, guiding Shift exactly where they want it to go. Their identities are unknown to all but a few, and anyone who stumbles upon them by accident—or, worse, learns their true goal—is swiftly disposed of. But if their power goes unchecked, they will shape the fate of millions for years to come … Plug your mind into The Beam. It's been waiting for you.
