MERCY MACHINE

FULL LENGTH NOVEL - COMING SOON

Charlotte Caelius has maintained a thriving mercenary career in Los Angeles for ten years— but she’s been living on borrowed time. Her botched mind transfer— an experimental procedure that uploads a human consciousness to a fully identical cybernetic body— turns her from a wide-eyed nineteen-year-old into a fugitive overnight. She adapts. She expands. She becomes the best contractor that the Mercenaries’ Union has ever seen. A single missing cog in the government’s most well-oiled machine.But the unmarked military presence all over LA feels like a constant threat to her anonymity. When she’s cornered and confronted with her own face, completely identical and ten years younger, on a Joint Cybernetics Commission soldier’s body, she realizes her time is up. Ashlyn Mercy, her old self, was not dead; she’s staring her down, ready to pull the trigger. A bionic body double.When she learns that this double is also living in a broken body and on borrowed time, a new mission arises: rescue her, find out what she knows, ensure that she gets to live what little life she has left far from the JCC. She’s not supposed to exist, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t deserve pity. The kind that was ripped away from Caelius ten years prior.The business of cybernetics trials is bleak— but it doesn’t have to be. Caelius is done running. If not to earn back her freedom, then to fulfill a promise to her younger self. One single kindness for Ashlyn before letting her go for good.


The Operatives

an original universe focused on cybernetics, crime, and technology

A Story In Summary

I began outlining The Operatives' story in 2020. A comprehensive 60-page booklet of everything you need to know about The Operatives— visuals, backstory, plot synopses, and more.

Bite the Hand

Nora and Caelius are both victims of failed cybernetics experiments; only where Caelius's life of crime has only begun, Nora has been living hers from behind the curtain for decades.

Synthetics

Adya Prisham is the first human brain in a bionic body. When she moves to LA and joins the Goddard Institute of Cybernetics, Nate Anastasio, an agent, is tasked with training her.

The Equinox Lounge

While Colby's field agent career is suspended pending investigation, she visits Caelius at her side-job as a club singer. She makes an offer that Caelius can't refuse.

Stellar Remnants

miscellaneous stories of original characters, all based in the Star Wars universe

Euanthe

Two sisters, Juno and Eleri, are equally hellbent on the safety of Eleri's children; but Juno's Jedi upbringing versus her sister's homesteading & farming one causes disagreements.

The Fracture

In an alternate universe where the Jedi Order breaks into splinter groups, a Jedi must make a decision: find a faction and train her new apprentice, or join her brother in exile.

Force Visions

As twins, Jag and Keldin are kindred spirits in the Force. Jag will stop at nothing to rescue his sister from the Empire; Keldin is under strict orders to hunt down and kill her brother.

Chasing Ghosts

Now working for the Rebellion, Keldin's squadron captures a suspicious starship and takes its pilots prisoner. She finds herself on yet another journey of chasing the dead.



hi! i'm abby!

🇺🇸 she/her 23

i'm an online creative and i do a lot of things! design, writing, photography, drawing, and video editing have been major passions of mine for a long time.growing up in the southwest means exploring any indoor activity to avoid the summer heat. as a teen, i got really into making video edits, leading me to motion graphics and graphic design. i got my bachelor's in visual communication design (VCD) in 2024. i'm also on the board of directors and do plenty of design work for for artbyFORM, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit community for online creatives that puts on a variety of art-related charity events. i've done a little bit of everything!drawing wasn't something i considered a regular hobby until i was 18! by that point, i was mostly a writer and wanted to really see (and let others see) what i was writing. it was a dedicated effort to really learn how to draw as an adult and there's still so much i want to improve on, but i'm grateful it stuck! most of my drawing and writing revolves around The Operatives (a team of operatives in a cybernetics-based world) or Lunar Squadron (a band of rebels based in the Star Wars universe).i love what i do and i do what i love!
