Fedoras and nanotech don’t usually mix too well, but then again, neither do human-only cults and magic….
“Dresden Files, but queer. A fast-paced romp that I absolutely didn’t want to put down.”
—Adrien Brooke, author of Strangers on the Shore
It ain’t easy being a hard-boiled detective in a nano-tech world…
He’s an old-fashioned detective in a time rocked by the recent emergence of magic, and he always closes the case.
A spooky mirror showing horrible truths? A threat to the stability of all seven Peoples? A libidinous fish-god? They’re all in a day’s work for Simon Night, Boston P.I.

Who the heck am I again?
My name is Ruthanne, and I do two things: I write weird stuff to entertain you, and I help other creatives make weird stuff, too.
I’ve published six books and fifty-plus short stories. I’ve led a convention panel on world-building, and taught courses on plot and character development. I’ve been the keynote speaker for the Write Practice Retreat.
I’ve also been dealing with severe chronic illness that left me hospitalized, and that pretty much slowed everything down. But the thing is, we all have a whole host of problems these days, don’t we?
I believe creation is deeply important, and one of the most human things we can do. It communicates truths we may not even consciously know. That’s why I keep writing, no matter how challenging life becomes; and it’s why I make daily videos to help other creatives, too.
We may be in an apocalypse of A.I. and unscrupulous corporations, but that doesn’t mean we can’t still be human. We create for one another, and yes—even the tiniest, silliest creation matters.
If you’re curious, my website has tons of free short stories, as well as three novellas and two novels, with more on the way. I also do daily pep-talks for creatives with a focus on those who struggle with creative block.
Currently, this newsletter is free, and I plan for it to stay that way. I also do regular updates through Patreon, with membership levels starting at “free” and $1 a month.
