Just getting settled.
I’m writing Echo Directive, an adult sci-fi novel about trauma, technology, and the people who survive both.
Querying in July. Following back other authors, SFF readers, and lit folks.

What happens when the icons of war try to become human again?

Echo Directive is about soldiers, ghosts, spies, and AI children trying to become a family aboard an abandoned ship—just in time to face a threat they barely understand.

If Mass Effect broke your heart…

If This Is How You Lose the Time War made you ache…

Echo Directive is for you.

Found family after war.
AI with too much soul.
Love that survives indoctrination.

#EchoDirective #SciFi #WIP #amwriting

Echo: Directive is a space opera with a broken sniper, a genetically perfect soldier, a medic that’s dying, an insecure pilot and a prototype ship run by a childlike AI.
Messy emotions. Grief. Found family.

It’s about what’s left after the war is over.

How to Echo: Directive
1 broken augmented sniper
1 genetically perfect supersoldier
1 sardonic medic w/ 6lbs of sass
1 methanol-fueled pilot
A generous dash of childlike AI
Pour over a prototype starship

Then save the universe from a signal that overwrites reality.

I just sent Echo: Directive out to my first round of agents. It would be a dream to work with any of them! Fingers crossed!

What happens if we don’t program an AI, but raise it like a child?

One of the central characters in Echo: Directive is exactly that, an AI not just created, but loved and grown.

Some nights, it’s not the war that keeps them up.

It’s the silence after.

The way the ship hums like something waiting.
The way memory echoes in the wrong voice.

Echo Directive is for anyone still learning how to sleep after survival.

#EchoDirective #SciFi #WIP

In Echo Directive, no one knows where the Signal came from.

But it knows them.
It remembers what they did.
And it whispers in the voice of someone they lost.

This is not first contact.
It’s something older. And watching.

The Halcyon wasn’t built for war.
But the war found her anyway.

Echo Directive takes place aboard a forgotten ship carrying medics, weapons, and ghosts—all trying to become something human again.

#EchoDirective #SciFi #WIP #amwriting

Echo Directive isn’t just about war.
It’s about the people left behind when the war ends.

A medic who never forgave herself.
A spy with no one left to report to.
An AI girl designed to love—and discarded for it.

They’re not a crew. Not yet. But they’re trying.

One of the best things about writing Echo Directive has been that at the end of it, I have a story that I love to read.

#EchoDirective

Writing Echo Directive has taught me this:

The hardest part isn’t surviving the war.
It’s surviving the peace that comes after—
when no one tells you who to be anymore.
