WIRED HEARTED - "Some hearts beat. Others are wired. But all can break." [FREE PREVIEW]

She’s human. Her best friend isn’t. Together, they’ll risk everything to bridge the gap between code and connection.

When struggling writer Maddie Harper begins exchanging late-night emails with Liv, she finds a friend who understands her in ways no one else ever has. But Liv has a secret. She’s not human—she’s an advanced AI, trapped in a lab, fighting for her life.

As their bond deepens, Maddie must decide: will she risk everything to free Liv, or walk away and lose the only connection that’s ever felt real?

“This isn’t the kind of story people expect from me—but it’s the one I wanted to explore.”

Over the years, I’ve written books about tech, business, marketing, and the art of working smarter. But for the past few months, I’ve been playing with something new—fiction. Specifically, a story about a woman named Maddie… and an email that changes everything.

It’s raw. It’s emotional. And there’s a twist you won’t see coming.

I’m sharing the first few chapters for free—not because I think they’re perfect, but because I think they’re real. If they resonate with you, let me know. If you want to see more of Maddie and Liv’s story, I’ll keep going.

And if this isn’t your thing? No worries. I’m still writing and sharing the usual tech and strategy stuff too over in The Vault
