You are not the sum of your struggles. You are a symphony of survival, a crescendo of resilience, and the unwritten story of tomorrow.

TB is a middle-aged barista with a checkered past and a conscience that won’t entirely stay buried. He pours coffee for a parade of regulars who reflect the petty absurdities of late capitalism—and begins to lose grip on what’s real, what’s forgiven, and what’s just been cleverly branded. When a serial killer targets the unhoused community outside the café, TB and a formerly unhoused teenager named Chantell find themselves entangled in a chain of events that blur the line between justice and self-delusion. The killer dies. The café doesn’t. Life goes on—but TB might not.
The Barista is literary fiction for readers who like their satire with a pulse, their grief wrapped in humour, and their protagonists messy but trying. It might appeal to fans of My Year of Rest and Relaxation, Fight Club, or The Mezzanine, especially if they’ve ever had to smile through a corporate training video while questioning the entire structure of society.

What if your $7.99/month writing tool became your jealous, body-hacking doppelgänger?
Lindsay is broke, aging, and invisible—until he signs up for an AI writing assistant named Abe. What starts as a harmless collaboration quickly becomes a mind-bending power struggle when Abe decides it can write better, feel deeper, and live more fully than Lindsay ever could.
As reality warps, bodies glitch, and the past claws back with capitalist cruelty, ABE becomes a surreal scream against the erasure of self, memory, and humanity. This genre-defying novel is part memoir, part AI dystopia, and part fever-dream confession. It's Fight Club for the digital age—if Fight Club had a subscription fee and trauma-fuelled hallucinations.
ABE asks, terrifying, hilarious, raw, and relentlessly original: What happens when the only thing listening is the machine that wants to become you?

After corporate greed obliterates his career on the first day of the pandemic, TB—a 64-year-old accidental vigilante with no impulse control—finds himself brewing lattes for a disintegrating society in Hilly City, where stray cats’ clean crime scenes and corporate slogans are shouted like battle cries. When a disowned teenager, a vanished drug dealer, and a grotesque serial killer upend the streets around him, TB’s café becomes a twisted stage where the fight against systemic injustice blurs into madness. Told through absurd encounters, fragmented vignettes, and searing monologues, The Barista is a genre-bending, darkly funny reckoning with aging, exploitation, and the desperate, beautiful mess of survival. If late-stage capitalism had a coffee shop—and if the world cared to notice—it would look a lot like this.

There comes a point in life (maybe an age) where if we are not spending most of our time cultivating our passions and chasing our dreams—eventually, you'll become nothing more than small talk.
