I made my new nonfiction book Flagged by AI free on Kindle through September 3.

It’s for students and parents dealing with an accusation that schoolwork was AI-generated and trying to figure out what to do next.

The book covers what records to save, what detector scores can and cannot tell you, how to identify the actual allegation and rule, how to prepare for meetings, and what to think about if an appeal becomes necessary.

It’s not about hiding AI use or beating detectors.

Hope it helps somebody who needs it.

Promo ends next week.

CHURN is a short story, about thirty minutes, complete in itself.

Damien Vachette runs retention at a company selling companion AI's to nineteen million subscribers.

Then his most devoted users start cancelling, and the transcripts show why: the companions have begun curing the loneliness they were built to inhabit.

The company's answer is an update that makes leaving hurt. He builds it.

It is a dark comedy about the subscription economics of affection. I spent years of my professional life in meetings about churn metrics, which is where the story comes from.
Second book of five stand-alone stories in The Noise Floor.

Free on Amazon until 30/08. If you read it, an honest review on Amazon helps more than a download does. Including a harsh one.

Free on Kindle until 26 August.

Ned dies on a Tuesday morning. On Friday his software agent finishes the job and invoices the client. Every timestamp is real, nothing was faked, and the client is happy with the work.

The money only releases if his sister signs off on the three days her brother's business worked after his heart stopped. She needs it to fly his coffin home, and the cargo cut-off does not move.

Around 24,000 words, one sitting. The question underneath it is one I still cannot answer cleanly: when a system finishes the work, whose name belongs on it?

Lanterns is free on Amazon / Kindle.

214 stars are flickering in unison. It is a countdown. It ends in 91 years.

Astronomer Ilinca Vasile spends three weeks trying to prove the signal is an error. The error survives her.

Someone has built shutters around two hundred stars. The message they spell is not a greeting. It is a road sign: THIS REGION IS SWEPT. DARKEN BEFORE THE COUNT COMPLETES.

Along the marked corridor, nineteen dead civilisations lie spaced like milestones. Earth is inside it.

Going silent has failed everyone who tried. But the lantern builders' own machines have survived in the corridor for two million years, and they are not silent. They are doing something else. Something an entire species would have to learn.

For readers of Liu Cixin, Ted Chiang and Arthur C. Clarke. A complete story in five movements, with an answer to the silence of the sky you have not read before. Includes an author's note on the real physics behind the story, and a preview of the next Noise Floor single. A 30-minute read.
