Coming in 2027
I am thrilled to finally share the cover and premise for my upcoming techno-thriller, FRAMED by my Digital Doppelganger.
This project has been a deep dive into the terrifying intersection of identity and technology. When Hattie is arrested for a high-level eSports heist she didn’t commit, the only way out is through a 2,300-mile road trip fueled by caffeine, a screaming infant, and three “best friends” who can barely stand to be in the same car.
The Twist? The person who stole Hattie’s life didn’t just hack her accounts—they hacked her bloodline. While Hattie rots in a cell, a tech-genius shadow is playing a game of high-stakes fraud, and the connection between them is closer than Hattie ever imagined.
🗝️ The Trope Checklist:
- ⚖️ The Wrongly Accused: 20 years for a crime she can’t explain.
- 🚗 Forced Proximity: One car. Three days, two enemies, 1 6-month-old child, and a cello.
- 💻 Digital Doppelganger: A pixel-perfect clone with a genius IQ.
- 🤫 Family Secret: The ultimate “biological” glitch.
- 🌺 Opposites Attract: A high-strung lawyer vs. a Hawaiian-shirt-wearing defender.
🎨 Design Notes
The cover features a custom “barcode window” design, symbolizing the convergence of physical incarceration and digital data. Look closely at the layers—the bars are closer than they appear.
