Thought-provoking and eerily relevant, the Fake Creativity series explores authorship, identity, love, and loss in a world where creativity may no longer be purely human.
Set in the near future, the books follow Cooper and Elena as artificial intelligence begins to blur the line between art and imitation, threatening the stories they tell and the life they’ve built around them.
Before Cooper can write his story, it already exists.
Of course it knows about Elena—his wife, a main character in every one of his bestselling romance novels, and a successful narrator in her own right. But somehow this AI knows everything else about his next book before he has even sat down to write it.
It must be a coincidence. There’s no way a machine could replace him.
But when he and Elena return from their yearly winter retreat in the snowy Colorado mountains, he discovers it was all too true. He has yet to submit his novel, but there it is, already sitting in a bookstore window. As reality around him fractures, Cooper is left with one question: does it matter if something is real—or perfectly reproduced?
Fake Creativity is an unsettling exploration of the thin line between art and imitation—a haunting story about the increasing struggle to preserve our humanity in a world where technology grows ever more capable of stealing it with quiet, calculated precision.
The future is an unstoppable force. A looming eternity of unknowns.
Still, for Elena, that future once seemed simple. Keep narrating books while Cooper, her husband, continued writing bestsellers year after year. Cherish the life they’d built together. Savor every winter retreat in the Colorado mountains.
Then the man who helped build both their careers warns Elena that artificial intelligence is about to change the literary world forever. Soon readers will still be buying Cooper’s books, but they won’t be written by him.
She can help shape what comes next or stand by as her husband is erased by it.
Elena agrees to take part in a project she believes will protect the life she’s built with Cooper. But the more she becomes involved, the more she has to hide, until almost every secret she keeps is another piece of him she’s given away.
Set alongside the events of Fake Creativity, False Narratives reveals Elena’s side of the story in this tense, intimate novel about love, a lifetime of choices, and the cost of trying to outrun the future.
