My name is Konn Lavery, I am an author and a graphic designer/web developer.
I have a fascination with transmedia storytelling, which introduces various medias into a story.
“Author Konn Lavery encapsulates the full gamut of human emotion with the stress that Alastor and Spalding find themselves under, from the gory unearthing and unusual acquisitions of fresh meat to the pressures of financial success, freedom and the desire for love and comfort despite the grim world in which they live…”
“His story is intricately laid out on a backdrop of history wrapped in legend and tied off with a myth.”
“When I finally got into the actual book, I found myself unable to put it down, even reading it on my break at work.”

“It happens. Whenever you just want to have a good time, something always goes down.”
Vicky to Michael

Vicky is a key character in the novel Seed Me who we find next to no info on. She makes a cameo in YEGman where we actually get to meet her alive for the first time.
LAST photo illustration for Seed Me. Moving the experimentation onto a secret project, more on that later this year.

Another read this year, no particular order.
Who Owns the Future by Jaron Lanier.
Dense read that dives into where we're going. Covers cultural, tech, business, and social. Not too political. It focused on humanity as we are continually absorbed into software.
In the end he proposes an interesting humanistic economy with a 2-way copy method of digital files to keep rights and payment in place. Far different from the current system of free web and spy agencies.
Lots more in this book.
Well worth the read.

Fourth read of the years no particular order. Writing Into The Dark by #deanWesleySmith.
Mind blown. Writing process shocked.
Time to rethink how I've been writing novels.
Mind the cat, she's hungry as always.
