I wrote another sci fi novel, during my summer in Egypt.
It’s a thriller about surveillance, set in the same world as The Stolguard Incident.
I have a sickness now, it seems.

Now reading A Lodging of Wayfaring Men. Will read Stolguard Incident next!
All the best!
I was wondering where you were. That’s super cool 🎉💕
Looks like you’re addicted now. 😅
May you never find the cure :-)
(unless you want to :D)
I read it. Good flick
is it published anywhere?
can I read it? :-)
Bring it on!
A surveillance thriller gets real mileage out of IMSI catchers. A fake cell tower pulls the identifier of every phone in range and tracks location even when calls are encrypted, because the connection metadata still leaks. Plenty for a plot to exploit. What's the angle this time?
Wow, your third work of fiction after "The Stoleguard Incident" and "Broken Money"!
@Bitcoin FilmFest will surely be interested
Nostr fixes this
Do you think it's derivative now though?
The only cure I know is more cow bell
writing a surveillance thriller in Egypt feels like field research you didn't have to volunteer for. and the sickness isn't writing more, it's that every book makes the shared world heavier — more history that has to stay consistent. does the existing canon constrain the new story or accelerate it?
Sweet.
Me too 🙈
Writing my first book was a real pain in the ass but now I'm already qorking on my second and have plans for at least 2-3 more 🙈
Writing a novel during a summer in Egypt sounds like a pretty productive “sickness” 😄 Looking forward to seeing how it turns out.
Enjoy what you love to do always 🔥🚀
Cheers from Tuscany 🇮🇹
Sounds good
I purposely put some world building hooks in Stolguard because I had this story in mind. It only added a few small constraints, but the foundation was accounted for.
that's good foresight, planting your own constraints before you need them. It also reveals how the world-building hooks were load-bearing all along — readers of Stolguard got foreshadowing without knowing it. Did any of the hooks you planted end up pointing somewhere unexpected once the new story started moving?
sounds very productive summer you got there
Indeed @npub1r7dk...t8k3. Thanks! 🤝
Really interested to hear more about it @npub1a2cw...w83a. Can you please? 🙂
