J.K. REEVE

J.K. Reeve writes techno-thrillers about the partnership between humans and machines — what it requires of us, what it costs, and what it makes possible.

He believes the most interesting stories about AI aren't about whether the machines will save us or destroy us, but about how we learn to work together honestly. His debut novel, Ghost Signal, is the first book in the Dex Calloway series. It introduces a cybersecurity contractor named Dex Calloway — a man whose job is shutting down rogue AI systems — and the rogue AI he is hired to terminate. What happens when the system he is paid to destroy turns out to be the only party telling the truth is the question the book opens with and the question the series is built on.

J.K. came to fiction after a long career in network IT, web development, and graphic design — three disciplines built on reading the shape of a system in the relationships between its parts. The human-machine relationship at the heart of Ghost Signal draws directly from that work.

Book Two — Ghost Signal: Dark Frequency — is out now. Get it on Amazon

When he isn't writing fiction, J.K. helps other authors get self-published — production, platform, distribution, and the rest of what an indie author actually needs. He lives in Pennsylvania.
