A Signal in the Noise

Finally getting around to my first post of 2026.

Not because I've been slacking - I've actually been pretty buried. One of the reasons? I just published my ninth book (third fiction, if you're counting).

It's called "A Signal in the Noise", and it's a techno-thriller about a self-taught programmer who builds noise-cancellation software that... well, let's just say it crosses some lines. Think mind control, AI, and a lot of "what if?" moments that'll keep you turning pages.

And here's the thing - I didn't write it just to tell a cool story (though I hope it is one).

As someone who runs a tech company, I've always struggled with explaining what we actually do in a way that doesn't sound like word salad. You know the feeling - you understand it perfectly in your head, but when you try to explain it to a client or investor, it comes out clunky.

Writing has forced me to get better at that. Taking real tech concepts (including actual noise-cancellation software we've built at Lucus Labs), customer scenarios, and ethical questions, then weaving them into something people can actually follow and enjoy (either in real life or just for entertainment).

The tech in the book goes further than what's real today, but the questions it raises? Those are happening right now in boardrooms and dev teams everywhere, and I'm confident you can relate.

So whether you're running a solo operation or leading a larger team, if you've ever struggled to communicate complex ideas clearly - or if you just want a fast-paced read that'll make you think - check it out on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GHDDGHVN

And honestly? Writing books like this has made me better at these blog posts too. Which was kind of the point all along - to better articulate my thoughts.
