Reflecting
My novel 'The Mirror' has been published recently. This is the first description:
It is 2073 and a young girl, Mia, is brought up in a megacity. As she approaches her sixteenth birthday she becomes increasingly aware of going to the 'resort' and leaving the city for the first (and possibly) last time. She knows the resort is a rite of passage but it is also a mystery.
Mia's world is run by ELK (Earthly Living Kingdom) who are a powerful and controlling elite. They are attempting to live forever and aim to create self-perpetuating, mostly biological AI which a human consciousness can inhabit. Already AI is an established presence in the life of the city.
This is a dystopian novel which also captures the indefatigable spirit of humanity. It's both a thriller and a romance. It asks who and what we are and where our place will be in the future. Are we more than a biological body, do we possess something that AI can never have?
In the cities of the future, non-Elkian humans have little worth – except, that is, for the most beautiful and intelligent.

Countdown to Ecstasy
Well not quite...but I am nearing the end of my new book: 'Lyrics to Live by 2: Further Reflections, Meditations & Life Lessons.'
I have finished the first drafts (at least) of all the chapters, dealing with lyric fragments and am about half-way through the Foreword. To have some idea of this book check out my existing (original) 'Lyrics to Live by'.
I'm also trying to separate my work from one or more other 'Tim Bragg's. How does one write that:
Tim Braggs would be my natural choice but that could be the name itself.
Tim Bragg's gives the impression I will add something that belongs to me. Well, in which case, Tim Bragg's books would be fine. But other Tim Bragg's what?
Interesting - or otherwise. Anyway, here is my blogs' beginning. And thus shall it be my blog's end. ;) Lyrics to Live By: Keys to Self-Help Notes for a Better Life
