Entries into the studio's work. Choose by what you are in the mood to read.
Historical Fiction
Start with Discovery 1600s.
A long sequence of Caribbean history told as rupture, adaptation, reckoning, and legacy. Not nostalgia. Not costume drama. A world being made.
Free taste: Bitter Mark — a short story set in the Discovery 1600s world. Test the voice before committing to a longer work.
Political Space Opera Romance
Start with Abacus and Crimson Helm.
In a civilisation built on alignment, romance is the ultimate conspiracy. Competence porn at the edge of systemic collapse.
Essays in Book Form
Start with Charlemagne's Gambit.
Essays on history, empire, trade, and power through sharp, accessible analysis. Global systems and contested narratives, seen from the ground up.
Start with Reflections on Stillness and Memory.
Reflective essays on stillness, memory, ageing, solitude, and the small rituals that help a person keep going.
Start with The Cost of Bright Things.
Brief fables for the life you are still learning to read. Small stories that turn the everyday into something worth pausing over.
Technical Field Guides
Start with Resource Discipline for AI Teams.
Six short field guides bringing decades of systems discipline to small AI teams. By Patrice Price.
Free taste: The Meeting Guide — the questions AI teams should ask, drawn from all six guides. Use it in the room before the decisions are made.
