In the city of blood, where shadows dance among the flickering lights and whispers echo through the labyrinthine streets, there exists a darkness that seeps into the very soul of the metropolis. It is a darkness born of forgotten dreams and shattered hopes, a palpable presence that hangs heavy in the air like a suffocating fog.... more>>

In this city of blood, where the heartbeat of the urban sprawl pulses with a relentless rhythm, there are tales untold and secrets buried deep beneath the asphalt and concrete. It is a place where the sins of the past stain the present, where the lines between right and wrong blur in the dim glow of neon signs.

Amidst the chaos and corruption, there are those who navigate the shadows with a grace born of necessity—a ragtag assembly of survivors and sinners, each with their own demons to wrestle and their own battles to fight. They move through the city like ghosts, slipping between the cracks of society, their footsteps muffled by the din of the streets.

And yet, amidst the darkness, there are glimpses of light—a flicker of hope in the eyes of the downtrodden, a spark of defiance in the hearts of the oppressed. For even in the city of blood, where despair hangs heavy like a shroud, there are those who refuse to surrender to the darkness, who dare to dream of a better tomorrow.

In the city of blood, where the sins of the past cast long shadows over the present, there are whispers of redemption—a chance for the lost and the broken to find their way home. It is a city of contradictions, where beauty and brutality collide in a symphony of chaos and despair.

But amidst the darkness, there is always hope—a glimmer of light in the heart of the night, a beacon of promise amidst the ruins. For even in the city of blood, where shadows reign supreme, there are those who dare to defy the darkness and forge their own path to salvation. <<less

Lester Flatt has been dealt a raw deal in life. Growing up the youngest of three brothers, in Ewing, New Jersey, in the unforgiving 1980's,... more>> the height of hoagies, hair metal and Reaganomics.

This story is for people who like snarky, clever protagonists with a dash of recklessness and extreme loyalty to those they love. It is for lovers of the self-critical, the idealistic, and what happens when such people are trapped in their own worst nightmare. Lastly, it is for those who enjoy reading about glittering societies that are not at all what they seem.

As with everything I write, The Art of Becoming is a slow-burn fiction with a heavy focus on characterization. There will be sexual content, but I am not graphic with that, and most of the scenes depicted serve to move the plot or character development along in one way or another. Also, Zaeden is pansexual, polyamorous, and most importantly, extremely social, so yes, there will be a romantic subplot. It is not, however, the main focus of the story.

The Art of Becoming takes place several centuries after one of my other fictions: Planetfall. Reading that story isn't necessary, and there will only be slight spoilers about the overall ending of that book in this one. I consider Planetfall to be the prequel for The Art of Becoming.

For the weekend of its release, I'll be uploading several chapters, but after that weekend, I will update with one chapter a day Monday-Friday at 1 pm PST. <<less
