I've long enjoyed mind control / persuasion stories, but I often find there's something lacking in them: so the protagonist has the ability to control the thoughts of everyone he meets… then what? (Well, usually a lot of torrid sex, but you get the idea). Where's the challenge?
Which brought me to thinking: what if the central character of a mind control story wasn't a sociopath? What if he wrestled with the ethics of controlling people, while also knowing that there were times and places where his powers might be used for good? How might he avoid the temptation of getting his way at every moment?
Resonance is my answer to that, in prose. It will also be the longest story I've ever submitted here, by a significant margin. There's still plenty of sex, but it takes time to build up, and the couplings are (perhaps surprisingly, given the genre) more realistic than my other work so far: at this stage, tags are mostly for things that haven't happened yet.
There's also much more action, emotion and intrigue, which I hope you will enjoy too. As always, your comments, corrections and feedback are very welcome.
