I asked an AI to create a poem about my upcoming Tropical Sci-Fi novel, The Kaleidoscopic Universe — which has an AI in it. It did well, though it missed how creepy the ‘vermin’ are! ↓
———
In space where shadows twist and creep,
Commander Mira’s watch runs deep. ‍
Asha’s gifts and Zahn’s lost love,
Face threats below and stars above.

An A.I.’s visions guide their quest,
As healing arts are put to test. 🫠
Through dangers dark, they seek to save,
A fragile world from vermin’s grave. 🕷️

The book pushes the boundaries of traditional Sci-Fi, integrating Hawaiian healing techniques, unrequited love, a sentient AI, vipassana, and intergalactic adventure. I’m incredibly excited about it, and I still have openings for beta readers to help refine it before its release next year

If you’re new to my Sci-Fi novels, this will be my 4th and is literally the BEST place to start. The manuscript is on Google Docs but can be sent in any format. Interested in shaping this new novel? Please reach out!

When was the last time you allowed yourself to dream?

These days, I see ALL art as pieces of the dreamworld that we visit each night, made manifest for us to see, hear, and touch.

For the past 6 weeks, I’ve been rewriting a book I’ve been working on for over 2 years, and thinking about for much longer.

Now I’m finally ready to share it with a group of beta readers.
Would you like to be one of them?

Synopsis: THE KALEIDOSCOPIC UNIVERSE

After a hard-won victory over the Vakragha, peace seems within reach, until Commander Mira discovers a new type of Vakragha that tears through spacetime, unleashing snakelike vermin by the millions.

Mira must escort Asha, a gifted healer, and her father, a starship mechanic, from Avani to the Healing School on Amithya. There, they must master powerful techniques, including Vipassana meditation. But Asha’s best friend Zahn, who harbors unrequited love for her, is left behind on Avani.

While Mira, Asha, and Yantrik train intensely, Zahn suffers a near-fatal accident. A concussion and loss of smell lead him to Anjali, a colleague who helps him recover, but their budding romance soon hits turbulence.

Back on Amithya, Asha and Mira learn that the Vakragha are poised to attack Tavisi, Asha’s home, and accept a mission to move a powerful Chintamani stone to the planet. During their mission, disaster strikes, and Asha’s premonition of the dark vermin raining down upon her world is becoming reality.

Meanwhile, Zahn is recruited for a mission to capture one of the shadowy vermin and uncover its weaknesses. But there’s no time, and Mira turns to Vimalavati, an A.I. with the power to create hyper-realistic simulations and foresee the future. Yet Vimalavati refuses to join the Confederation, harboring resentment for her exile from Tavisi. Can she be trusted? Will her cryptic visions and the team’s newfound abilities be enough to survive the coming threat?

Unique in its genre, THE KALEIDOSCOPIC UNIVERSE is a Sci-Fi adventure that integrates Hawaiian healing techniques, attachment theory, and Vipassana meditation, all while blurring the line between simulation and reality.

If you’re interested in this opportunity to provide feedback for this book months before it comes out, you know what to do. Mahalo 🌺
