Brain-to-brain interspecies interface
Can science truly heal a broken mind—or will it create a new kind of monster? What happens when a mind fractured by trauma becomes the key to a new kind of justice? Meet Poacher, a troubled man with a gift—or a curse. In a desperate bid to avoid felony animal cruelty charges, Poacher volunteers for a beta test of an interspecies brain-to-brain interface. The test leaves him with an extraordinary ability that turns his life—and those around him—upside down. Poacher's neural connection to the pain and suffering of non-humans awakens an even darker purpose, forcing him to face the consequences of his actions and the monster he's becoming.
Poacher: The Man with the Broken Brain is a gripping tale of redemption, guilt, and the science that blurs the line between human and animal consciousness. This introduction to Poacher lays the groundwork for DOGS WITHOUT LEASHES, coming in 2026. Bonus materials include In Their Words: Project MindShare, a series of interviews that unpacks the groundbreaking experiment behind Poacher’s transformation.

FIREFLY
Criminal identification technology
|
Firefly, a Scarlet Letter inspired, groundbreaking CRISPR procedure uses bioluminescence to identify and track violent criminals by making them glow. Developed by SynOrganics, Firefly marks them as a visible deterrent in public spaces. What starts as a tool to make the streets safer quickly escalates into an ethical minefield as those tagged with the glow face new forms of social exclusion, vigilante justice, and a life sentence of stigma. Can a visual cue for danger actually prevent violence, or does it perpetuate harm and division in society? Firefly explores the blurry line between public safety and individual rights in an age of surveillance and genetic modification. Discover the dark truths behind Firefly. In Their Words: Project Firefly is part of the SynOrganics Spoken Drama Series and will be available on kindle. It will also be included in the upcoming SynOrganics Anthology series along with three short stories.

Read the exciting origin story for Poacher, a conflicted superhero that the world has never seen before but so desperately needs!
After ten years of conflict resolution work overseas, a dark ops agent hopes to leave the pain and trauma behind and start a new life. It doesn’t quite work out that way. After experiencing a PTSD episode at a frat party, a man named Poacher accidentally kills a dog. To avoid felony animal abuse charges, he volunteers for an inter-species brain-to-brain interface beta test in an animal studies lab. A side effect from the experiment leaves him with a mysterious and harrowing ability tied to the suffering of abused animals. His mind is trapped in a distressing cycle of non-human PTSD, like a twisted Groundhog Day, randomly replaying. A cycle of pain that only ends when he confronts their tormentors. Their fate is far worse than death, a karmic justice that makes them live every moment of the pain they’ve inflicted. Some people follow the money to find the bad guys. Poacher follows the pain. |
