what he's writing

In the seven novels he has written, his first and foremost goal has always been to entertain YOU, to provide you an escape from the real world and, when you're ready, some inspiration to return to it.
The 2084 series - other novels in the same world as his debut, 2084
The Outliers trilogy - the tale of an Illuminati-like organization with access to unprecedented influence and technology

2084, the Novel

The world wears computerized contact lenses that control technology with the blink of an eye. Consumers are as thrilled as they are surveilled.

Newsight Incorporated became a household name when it released its debut product: Lenses. Now, Newsight is more than a household name…it’s in the household. It sees everything its customers see, both in the real world and in the simulated one. But not everyone is content to be watched. A teenage boy named Vincent, a Senator’s son, and his friend Jessica, a Newsight developer’s daughter, flee into the ranks of a clandestine protest group. With the group’s help, Vincent and Jessica disable their Lenses and see the world clearly for the first time. The sight that awaits them, however, may have better remained unseen.
