Books I've Written
A published author across genres — from literary fiction to applied-AI playbooks for real businesses. Here are my books, newest first.
Co-Writer, Not Ghostwriter
The Craft of Co-Writing with AI — Sharper Ideas, a Stronger Voice, and a Book That Could Only Be Yours
The craft book for writers who are curious about AI but afraid of what it might cost them. Not "write a book with AI" — become a better writer, with sharper ideas and a stronger voice, by treating AI as a true collaborator while your voice stays unmistakably your own. It refuses the write-a-bestseller-in-a-weekend promise and teaches the opposite: a repeatable turn-taking review loop where you stay the author on every line — the machine drafts, argues, researches, and edits; you decide, and nothing reaches the page that isn't yours. Written by a working AI engineer who's published in both fiction and non-fiction, using the exact method it teaches.
The Stoic King of New York
A Novel
In 1970s Brooklyn, a bartender's son named for a Roman emperor learns to read a room before he can read a clock. Marcus Aurelius has gifts the old men of Bensonhurst have never seen — and a father's quiet Stoic philosophy he learns to read exactly backward: that the art of mastering yourself can be turned, instead, on everyone else. By twenty-two he's handed a kingdom without a drop of blood spilled. What keeping it costs him is the bill the city always meant to collect. A mob saga with the soul of a tragedy — The Godfather by way of Marcus Aurelius.
