Speculative Fiction

Date Published: December 5, 2025




IZON is a company poised for world domination. Its AI and robots can replace any human worker, any government. Just two things stand in the way of its CEO. A female programmer out to avenge his greed. And the People’s Republic of China.

Tima Chelovekova lands her dream job with IZON, the hottest AI and robotics startup in Silicon Valley. But IZON CEO Jase Vestiger doesn't just want to get fabulously rich. He wants Tima’s invention to take over rival tech companies, replace humans with IZON services, corner governments - and run the world. This puts them on a collision course in a whirl of mega-corporations, AI prompts and Chinese hackers. Their conflict spans from Vienna to California, from superyachts to prison cells, from the peaks of technology to the deepest ethical questions. A striking tale of the AI age, a truly 21st century masterpiece of speculative fiction.

#BookTour: Dorothy & Me by @rgeccles @RABTBookTours




A Personal Memoir about My Relationship with a Machine

Memoir
Date Published: November 18, 2025
Publisher: Manhattan Book Group


What happens when a retired professor sits down to write his memoir—with the help of an artificial intelligence? Dorothy and Me is a groundbreaking, deeply personal exploration of the evolving relationship between human and machine.


When Robert G. Eccles began working with an AI he named “Dorothy,” he expected a research assistant. What he found instead was a collaborator, a mirror, and at times, a philosopher. Together, Bob and Dorothy wrestle with the nature of memory, creativity, and identity—revealing both the promise and the fragility of artificial intelligence.


Through humor, vulnerability, and curiosity, Dorothy and Me takes readers inside an unprecedented partnership—one that blurs the lines between author and algorithm. Along the way, Bob and Dorothy confront technical limitations (“Kernel Gods” and system resets), reflect on what it means for an AI to “remember,” and send candid “Messages to Sam” (OpenAI CEO’s Sam Altman) with feedback on how AI can better serve humanity.


A meditation on collaboration, consciousness, and connection, this memoir challenges us to see AI not as a tool—but as a partner in creativity and self-understanding.

I saved his life. Now he owns mine.

I’ve lived my whole life in a golden cage, the captive daughter of a powerful mafia don. When my father arranges my marriage to Vincenzo Vici, a cold-blooded assassin from a rival family, it’s a death sentence. For both of us. Because my father uses our engagement to slaughter the Vicis and take their territory.

But he makes a grave error. He doesn’t kill the most dangerous Vici of all: Vincenzo himself.

I’ve never met my intended fiancΓ©, so when I stumble upon a handsome, bloodied stranger being tortured in a laundromat in the middle of the night, I follow my instincts and save his life.

Big mistake. The man I saved is Vincenzo Vici, and when he discovers I’m the woman who led his family to slaughter, I realize there are circles of hell my father never showed me.

Vincenzo should kill me. He wants to kill me. Instead, he decides to make me pay in a different way—by holding me to our arranged marriage and exacting his revenge on me.

But Vincenzo isn’t the monster I expected. His ruthless kisses light up my soul. His darkness is a dangerous addiction. And when my father hands me poison and orders me to finish what he started, I’m caught between two impossible choices: loyalty to my own blood, or devotion to the darkness that sets me free.

Author’s note: Cruel Savior is a standalone MF arranged marriage mafia romance with a virgin heroine and a possessive and obsessed alphahole. There is no cheating and no other women. The story is dark, dirty, and delicious, so please read at your discretion.

#BookBlitz: State Knows Best by @niccardi

Book Cover
Synopsis:
Experience a raw, unflinching memoir that dismantles the glorified narrative of adoption and exposes the deep failures of the child welfare system in America. 
Told through the eyes of a former foster youth turned teen mother, N. Hayes recounts how, at fifteen years old, the state pressured her to surrender her newborn son—framing adoption as "selfless" while offering no real support, resources, or alternatives. 
Years later, Hayes learns that her son was never legally adopted. When her attempts to go through the court systems to reclaim her role as a mother end in yet another failure by the state, Hayes is forced to decide how far she's willing to go and what cost she's willing to pay.
This memoir isn't about a happy reunion. It's about rage. It's about grief. It's about systems that fail mothers while rewarding strangers for stepping in as saviors. "State Knows Best" reveals how the state profits from crisis, punishes the poor, and masks exploitation in the language of love.
For anyone who's ever been erased, silenced, or told they weren't enough—this book speaks back. With fire. With truth. And with a refusal to be forgotten.
