After writing in computer languages for 40 years, I finally took a leap and graduated to human-readable source code.

As a reader from a young age, my favourite genre drifted over the years from SciFi, to Fantasy, then, after a short stint at Urban Fantasy to LitRPG. The latter being a young genre that still allows experimenting with styles and stories that don't follow a classic plot structure is what motivated me to dip in my pen.

In real life I'm what companies describe as "IT architect" or "application architect"---I design and plan software programs. Not very interesting ones, to be honest, but the boring stuff companies pay other companies so they can continue making the money to do that. This could be a program to package another program fro internal deployment, a translation layer between a call centre software's API and the agent frontend, or a program that reads supplier data into a database while doing a thousand validation checks.

You can leave me a tip if you want to enable me to write more books than programs.

If you're a Minecraft player, you might have come into contact with some software I created in my free time. Most of Ender IO between MC late-1.7.10 and 1.12.2 was my doing.

Livia and Me

Last updated Mar 24, 2025
60 chapters

When the System Apocalypse hits, Jane finds herself more and more in the role of a “Mary Sue”. What is going on that makes her that special…or is it really all about her?

Ready to propose to Livia, her long-time girlfriend, Jane wakes up to humanity being digitised into an alien computer system. She seems to be the only person to notice, and when the System starts to manifest for people, the only one to question it. When the System seems to bend backwards to fulfil her every wish, giving her extra powers and surrounding her with a harem, she plays along, ready to grab at any straw to find out what really is going on.

“Livia and Me” is a slow-burn System Apocalypse story following the life of Jane, a 21-year-old bisexual. It includes characters from the whole LBGTQ+ “letter salad” (even a straight side character or two), many of whom come with traumatic events (suicide, self-harm, murder, parental abuse, etc.) weighing them down.

Content warning:

  • Traumatic events (suicide, self-harm, murder, parental sexual abuse, etc.) in the backstory of characters. These are referred to in the story and in various way, including grapic descriptions.
  • Includes characters admitting they weren't virgins when they turned 18.
  • Note: Only one character is younger than 18 during the events of the story; she's 17y364d12h when she joins the story. Bonus chapters do include flashbacks, but no depictions of sexual activity.
  • Includes themes of mind control, including for characters who engage in adult activities.
  • Includes characters who have wrong opinions.
  • Includes evil characters doing evil things.

New chapters Monday, Wednesday, and Friday
