Disclaimer: No A.I. was used in the writing of any of my books, in any form, not for drafting, editing, formatting, or even idea-production. Every book is created wholly in Libre Writer, edited and formatted for production by me. Physical distribution is handled by IngramSpark.
Trailers and illustrative work primarily utilize programs like Blender, GIMP, Ardour, Kdenlive, etc. Tools like Seedance are used for keyframe rigging, camera tracing, and texture mapping, alongside many production tools. I do all my own storyboarding, character design, and this is the only A.I. utilized, but all written work is entirely my own and always will be.
Illuminating all Orphan Towne with a newfangled invention, “the light bulb” is quite enough excitement for Junior Engineer (Third Class) Alvin Esker, but after discovering Hana, a peculiar girl-who-can’t-exist, his familiar world of lectrics and lunches flips on its pole. Before he knows it, he and Hana have triggered an experiment that threatens the survival of Orphan Towne—and possibly a continent. They embark on a trek to the top of the earth, on the trail of
the final discovery of the Last Astronomer,
to stop the doom they unwittingly caused
... assuming they don't die.
Coming
Soon!
A naive academic, his chump nephew, a washed-up railroader, a gentleman doctor, a cynical cook, a pompous author, a cocky hunter, a silly Cuban girl, a shrewd heiress, an adventurer on a global quest to find a legendary map, and an old sheepdog—for most sane people, a mad and motley crew. But for Dunia Cane, they're an ideal combination of rubes ripe for the picking, not to mention her only way out of Havana before war erupts—and a vengeful Shadow chasing her
across the world finally catches up.
If she can play it all all just right.
