Bestselling author Jack is pulled into his own science fiction thriller when his gritty fictional character, Turk Perry, refuses his written death and begins rewriting reality, forcing Jack to stop him before he’s erased from existence.
Writer’s World is a genre bending sci fi thriller where bestselling author Jack is pulled into the fictional world he created. His character, Turk Perry, a gritty futuristic lawman, refuses to die in the final chapter and takes control of the manuscript, rewriting Jack’s reality. As Jack navigates a hyper surveilled dystopian Los Angeles, he must stop Turk before being written out of existence.
Bestselling author Jack built his career on Turk Perry, a hard edged futuristic lawman who stalks the streets of a neon drenched, surveillance heavy Los Angeles. But after years of writing the same world, Jack is ready to kill Turk off for good and start a new chapter in his life.
Then the keyboard begins typing on its own.
Turk refuses to die and he’s rewriting the story from the inside. The manuscript mutates into a living document as Turk reaches through the digital boundary and drags Jack into the very world he created. Suddenly Jack is trapped in a brutal, hyper policed Los Angeles where justice is corrupt, allies are scarce, and Turk controls the narrative.
Worse, Turk begins killing off other characters in revenge for the years Jack dictated his life. As the lines between fiction and reality dissolve, Jack races through the dystopian city to protect Miranda, the last character he still loves and reclaim control of the story before Turk erases him entirely.
