UPDATE Jan 07, 2020… the future: I’m rearranging chapters – sorry for the inconvenience, I just think the story flows better with an updated chapter order.
…
s0matic is a story I’ve had in my head for some time – I’m getting it out there now. Since I’ve never written a serial or book, I would like for you, the reader, to provide input. I’m interested in peer review of the science, chapter order, voice, flow. I know I’m putting a lot on you, but I know you can handle it. I’ll start us off by putting down some words.

Thank you,

David Recksiek
