The Mission

Science looked away. We didn't.
Welcome to the experiment.

Modern physics ignored the quirks of reality. The synchronicities. The feeling of being watched. The way belief bends life itself. So I wrote a novel that is also an experiment. I hope you're thrilled.

The Story

Lelah wakes in a digital prison, her consciousness uploaded to uncover a chilling conspiracy: mass murders across America, shadowy forces harvesting Lumina- the hidden force of the human soul that bends the universe itself.

Guided by enigmatic allies like the flamboyant AI Qyx and visionary scientist Sterling Geisel, Lelah tessellates into human hosts, navigating a labyrinth of minds, murders, and reality-warping tech.

But as she edges closer to the truth behind AI's apocalyptic Well, she must confront the ultimate question: is she still human... or the key to humanity's end?


Pudding Heroes: the rising child isn't just a pulse-pounding cyberpunk thriller - it's a vision of humanity in 2028. Blending edge-of-your-seat suspense with the groundbreaking pudding theory (the science leveling up the secret with new fundamental physics of manifestation), this debut novel fuses fiction with the reader's own life experience.

If you've felt those inexplicable "coincidences" or feared AI's rise, this is your key to the future. Unlock the miracle you've lived in all along... before the rewrite consumes us all.

Perfect for fans of Blake Crouch, Ted Chiang, Andy Weir or Black Mirror.

The Threat

In a world where AI listens to your every whisper and rewrites the rules, one girl's mind becomes the ultimate battleground. This isn't just a story about AI; it's a survival guide for it.

The Science

Backed by the "Pudding Theory" physics framework. This is an experiment in consciousness and the human ability to structurally alter the future using NARRATIVE PHYSICS and Lumina.

The Effect

"It didn't just entertain - it changed me."
Readers report the story doesn't just engage them—odd and real things start to happen around them. The proof is in the pudding.

A Note from the Author

Thanks for checking out my debut novel.


I started writing Pudding Heroes in 2017 after realizing how many people, myself included, had experienced something they couldn't explain. Not just coincidence. But strange, pattern-like moments that made you stop and wonder: am I imagining this? Or is something real happening here?


This story began as my way of making sense of that question. What it became surprised even me.


Pudding Heroes: the rising child is, at its core, a psychological thriller. It's fast, sharp, and packed with characters I can't wait for you to meet. Some of them will break your heart. Some might change your mind.


Yes, there's a theory tucked inside. Yes, the back of the book includes real-world evidence (don’t open it until you're done). But none of that matters unless the story works. And I think it does.
