Sally has her own special way of doing things. Unfortunately, Sally forgot to allow for one important factor, and events spiral out of control. Note: This is intended as a stand-alone story, but it follows on from Experiment 36.

Walt Delano’s home life is a minefield. Exiled to rural Indiana for the summer, he expects boredom and blisters—not E.V.E., an embedded virtual entity.

Between a stoic grandfather, a fiercely kind grandmother, and a father who weaponizes shame from afar, Walt’s coming-of-age collides with an AI’s coming-to-life.

A slow-burn romance set in the fictional remote mountain town of Willow Creek, Colorado. A reclusive newcomer and a guarded local woman clash, circle, and slowly soften. As a small community pulls them closer, two wounded souls discover that belonging—and love—can be quietly built, one brave step at a time.

He was trapped in a loveless marriage until a friend from the past surprised him with a way out.
