Dot Slash Magic

I'm super excited to officially announce that I've signed a book deal with Angry Robot Books (and tell you how to request an ARC!!!!)

Angry Robot are a UK-based publishing house with worldwide distribution through Penguin Random House. They are, in their own words, "dedicated to the best in modern adult science fiction, fantasy and WTF?!"

They publish some great fantasy, romance, and sci-fi authors, including St. Gibson (An Education in Malice, Evocation) and Stacey McEwan (Ledge.)

The book I'm writing for this deal is called

✨Dot Slash Magic✨

Fantasy academy meets The Matrix.

But make it sexy.

And add punk rock.

What if you wrote a magic computer program?

What if that magic computer program was maybe summoning monsters?

When twenty-something coder Seven Jones goes back to school at a community college in San Diego, the last thing she wants is to join some stupid club. And the last thing she expects is to walk into an underground magic club. 🧙 Like, actual wizards and shit.

Seven reluctantly joins the motley crew of magic weirdos and discovers her own power, but struggles to control it…until she figures out how to channel her magic through an artificially intelligent assistant. 👾

Unfortunately, there is literally nothing Seven’s new friends hate more than AI. So when a student mysteriously turns up dead, blame falls on Seven. Is her “creepy artificial magic” summoning terrifying creatures from all sorts of mythologies? 🐲Or is someone trying to frame her? 

With only one person—cute ex-Navy seal Logan—on her side, Seven fights monsters (Dragon? Check. Kraken? Check.) while struggling to convince everyone that her AI has nothing to do with them.

But how can she convince her peers when she isn’t totally convinced herself?

It's this kind of vibe:

Girls who code. And do magic. And also listen to Nirvana.

The book is slated for release July 2025.
