Pure Motives<\/em>, the latest long novella in my Amsterdam Institute<\/em> series, is available now in ebook<\/a>! It has my usual archaeological world-buildng, as well as snarky AI, sexytimes, and a protagonist who learns to fight for herself\u2026and forgive herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pure Motives<\/em> is a good entry point to the series, as it introduces a new protagonist, but if you’re a completionist, you can pick up the collection of the first part of the series, Idyllian<\/em>, in both print and ebook<\/a>! Or you can win a copy on my actual play D&D stream, the Dungeon Scrawlers<\/a>, on Wednesday April 13, at 6:30 pm Pacific Time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chloe thought pilot training and its accompanying implant would allow her to support her extended family in the Free Trade Zone; instead, she accidentally receives an experimental hijacking implant. Once people discover she can control others through their implants, nowhere is safe for her. From a Pax Romana research facility to a Libertad Fransa pirate ship, everyone wants to either drug her into submission or use her hijacking abilities for their own gain. With the help of her few allies, including a true AI ship, can she break truly free, or will she once more exchange one prison for another?<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
