Joule: a young city founded by a faction of America’s elite who claimed it would become “the spark of a new era of Humanity.” Most of the world saw it as a dangerous playhouse for a power-mad oligarchy, but to people like John Nakae—a young and ambitious robotics engineer—it was a chance to escape a life of stagnation and decay.

For years, it was exactly that. Yet, for all their fervency, no one in the city could grasp “true” change. Until one night, under the shadows of that city’s shining towers, that “change” grasped John and the new era was ushered in by the clawed hands of a nightmare.

When he comes to, he finds a golden mystery hidden in the wake of the horror. A mystery so enticing he forgets the trauma of his near-death encounter. In it is the potential to finally push the world into a bright future… If only he can come to understand it before the light of his beloved city is snuffed out.

Metanoia is a paranormal sci-fi in a near-future setting that blurs the symbolic and the technical. It’s a very character driven tale about man’s pursuit of the new—of science and societal progress—and his duty to his past—to remember who he is, who came before, and who he belongs to. Of course, a bunch of dry philosophizing wouldn’t be much fun, so this city’s tale unfolds amidst high-stakes action… noir-inspired intrigue… a fair shake of romance… and a sprinkle of horror.

Fans of Metropolis, Blade Runner, Deus Ex, and Persona 3 should find something to like here.

Lakeside Inheritance

Asked a friend for a horror story concept to write, and this was the result. It's complete, but not edited, so expect a little roughness for now.
