About the author
David A. Lyons
5 books2 followersI write experimental literary fiction, and I publish it myself.
As founder of Vehemently Inked LLC, I make books for readers who want to be asked something, not handed everything: work that is precise, deliberate, and built to do something to you rather than simply be read.
My major work, Synchronization, was published September 2, 2026, and is available now in hardcover. It is not a novel written about an artificial intelligence; it is written as one. The narration boots inside the book; the reader becomes the final node. It is ergodic fiction: nonlinear, encoded, as much navigation as narration. Reading it is work, and that is the point.
I am also the author of The Epochs of Synchronization: Cryptoamnesia, Cryptoanomaly, and Cryptogenesis, each a distinct cognitive perspective on a single unraveling.
Before fiction, I spent years in business and sales, which taught me more than I expected about systems, persuasion, and the strange ways people process information. I design my own covers. I think in structure.
