Hi everyone,

My novel A Play Between Moments is free on Kindle for five days, October 10–14.

Somewhere in the fine print of existence there's a clause nobody reads: reality is a simulation, and somebody is grading your performance. Our hero doesn't know any of that — he just knows that when a pretty girl catches his eye, time stops. At first it's a party trick: freeze a moment, steal a kiss, come back for cheeseburgers. Then the men in orange overalls show up. And the men in black. And a woman named Jewel, who has a whip, chronic insomnia, and a very pointed question about why he's ruining her caseload.

It's about 60,000 words, standalone, no cliffhanger ending — a genre-bending speculative fiction novel with absurdist humor, a slow-burn romance, and just enough existential questions to keep you up at night.

Amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HJ6G4BGT

Thanks for reading.
