I have been traveling in the future for the past few months. Listening to podcasts and researching in some interesting places to write my new title in The Aether Series.
The conclusion? Well... let's circle back to that after you read my latest. I found myself looking at what if and how would technology change how we relate to each other in the next era, and speculated about whether it might improve things or simply reveal the holes in the cheese?
Is it my imagination or are we sliding back to the 1950s, Stepford automatons, smile on cue. Whip up an ambrosia salad in heels and lipstick when the other half shows up with their boss for afternoon cocktails... nope!
Axon Drift, New Rlease in paperback, ebook on Amazon and a special-edition hardcover exclusive on Barnes & Noble! "Paradise is Murder" is not only the tagline, it's also a full-color, fan fiction poster that will be up for grabs in a drawing for my incredible subscribers.
I'm fond of dark satire, keeps the tears away, and I call this dystopian story 'my intergalactic dating show,' but anyone familiar with my work realizes that this is merely the surface layer and below that level is a dark ocean, full of danger, feminism, technology, mystery and also... great possibilities.

Travel back in time to the year, 2050...
In the sprawling super cities of the future, where dreams of wealth and love are packaged as entertainment, there exists Sybarite Island, the ultimate televised escape for lovelorn singles. Each week, hopefuls vie for a chance to enter the dream realm, where desires materialize and fantasies come to life.
When a catastrophic power surge plunges the contestants into a nightmare, the line between dream and reality blurs, and paradise becomes a deadly trap. Greek gods, rebellious bots and a sinister plot...
As contestants fight for survival and uncover the sinister truth behind the show, they must navigate a treacherous landscape where nothing is as it seems, and the price of dreams and ambition may be higher than they ever imagined.
Axon Drift is a gripping tale of ambition, betrayal, and the dark side of the pursuit of happiness in a world where dreams can turn deadly.
Welcome to the Aether Series by Bibiana Krall
A collection of short fiction speculating on the future. From cults to A.I. and beyond...you will find these stories surreal, modern and realistic enough to make you wonder if this Dystopian world is what waits for us on the other side.

Thank you for supporting my creative work and for being an important part of my community. To thank you for being here all these years, I will be publishing a free book soon that will help ignite your business and boost self-confidence. I will offer it as a free download to my subscribers in the hopes that no matter what you put your mind to, you will succeed and connect with others in a whole new way.
I know it's been a while since I posted, and like many of us, I needed some peace and quiet. It's too darn noisy out there. Time away from the Internet is not only healthy, it's a lot of fun.
Until next time, find your Peace, Love, Hustle and then Read, or Write. xox-B
Sounds like a thrilling ride, Bibiana! Glad you've had some fun off-time. I am Literati, so LMK, would love to be on the ARC list. 💖👑
