Every day, Lukas is forced to swallow an empathy supplement. Without it, he wouldn't feel guilty about the incident.

He works deep underground, digging up metal ore to fuel the six billion 3D printers on the surface. Now that anyone can print any object, the only viable industry is ink.

When Lukas is abducted by an insane surface-dweller, he's left in a desperate situation. He doesn't know what his captor wants, but he knows he has 72 hours until the drug wears off – and he's afraid of what he'll do...

About me:

I've written six novels for major publishers around the world (my best known books are The Lab and Money Run) but I've always wanted to try self-publishing. Ink is my most ambitious project so far, and traditional publishers are increasingly risk-averse, so it's the perfect opportunity to go directly to the readers.

The book will be perfect for sci-fi addicts, action lovers, curious futurists and reluctant readers who need a roller-coaster ride to get them hooked. If you like the sound of Ink, or you know someone who would, I'd really appreciate your support. Thank you so much!

How funds will be spent:

— Donuts and caffeine to fuel the writing and editing processes – pledge $15 or more to see the work in progress!
— Printing and distribution for the physical book – pledge $30 or more for a signed copy posted to you!
— Launch events in Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra – pledge $150 or more for a VIP ticket! (Anyone can come to the launch, but as a VIP you'll get a gift bag, a mention in the speech and a badge so everyone else at the launch knows you made it happen.)
— Paid advertising on Facebook and YouTube
— Hiring a cover artist and a copy editor
