Updates from the cradle: release news, festival appearances, and project signals.
n0.VA is now on itch as the Standard Edition: DRM-free PDF + EPUB, €24.
n0.VA is live now, and I am genuinely happy to finally have the book out in the world.
It arrives today on itch as the Standard Edition, and I hope the readers who find it here end up carrying something strange and lasting away with them.
April 1 is real now. n0.VA reaches itch that day as the Standard Edition: DRM-free PDF and EPUB at €24.
After a long time living in fragments, drafts, and private thresholds, the book is about to become what it was meant to be from the start: a finished reading object, out in the world and in readers' hands. That part feels worth celebrating.
This first release is intentionally clean. No padded launch stack, no side-material pretending to be the main event. Just the novel, properly made, ready to open.
I am in the last stretch now, getting the package and the store into final shape. On April 1, it stops being almost here.
Archive note: this is a pre-launch post from the early-reader phase. Current launch details live on the main landing page.
The manuscript of Nova is complete. Before it leaves the lab for agents and festivals, I am looking for a small group of early readers who are willing to sit with the book in all its mess: explicit sex, kink, toxic attachment, machine theology, grief, god questions - the whole lattice.
This is not a "does this offend you?" sensitivity pass. I am interested in people who can tell me:
Content expectations: this is transgressive, sexually explicit fiction with heavy themes (abuse dynamics, self-harm impulses, emotional violence, religious imagery). If you are comfortable with books like Boy Parts, Dead Girls, Crash or 120 Days of Sodom being in the same room as you, you are probably in the right range.
What you get: the full manuscript (PDF or EPUB), and the option to be thanked by name or pseudonym in future editions if your feedback materially shapes the final text.
What I ask: that you read the book within about 4-6 weeks and send me your honest reactions - a few paragraphs, or a rough, chaotic page of notes is enough. Line edits are welcome but not required; gut truth is more important than polish.
Reader intake is closed. General contact: [email protected].
Two or three sentences are enough: who you are as a reader, what draws you to this kind of material, and which formats you prefer (PDF / EPUB). Direct contact only.
