One of the things that surprised me about my career was the interaction of people with technology. How blindly trusting people are of whatever the computer says on it, regardless if what it's saying is even possible.
When I decided to write, I chose to play in the space of the interaction between people and technology, and reality vs. perception.

Audiobook: I enjoyed book 4 of "The Ascendant Path" even more than the earlier books. Once the audiobook started, I was so engrossed in the story that I had to listen until the end. This book explored even more the theme regarding the attraction and use of magic and how that power corrupts the user. This book ended on a cliffhanger, and I'm looking forward to the next book in the series. David Gurney's narration was engaging, and his performance enhanced the story's entertainment. I was given a free copy of the audiobook and I have voluntarily posted this review.
