I’ve been keeping this one under wraps for a bit, but the concept cover for Whispers in the Dark is finally ready — and it looks incredible.

Mahid, the designer I worked with, absolutely nailed the tone I was going for: cinematic, mysterious, and grounded in the kind of hard sci-fi that could almost happen. The way the city lights form subtle circuitry lines was the perfect touch.

Book 1 is now going through its second round of beta reads while I polish the final manuscript. The feedback so far has been equal parts exciting and humbling — exactly what I hoped for when I started sharing the draft.

It’s wild to think this all started as an experiment: an engineer trying to see if he could build a story the same way he builds systems — through iteration, testing, and refinement. Now it’s actually becoming a real book.
