Pudding Heroes Story
They engineered a resurrection. She became a weapon.
Pudding Heroes: The Rising Child is a high-concept psychological thriller about two young women, one inside a system that shouldn't exist, the other haunted by a voice that shouldn't be real.
Lelah was human. Now she's a ghost in the wires. Samantha is an escape room designer and engineer who is unraveling fast. The voice knows too much. It's not just in her head, it wants out.
As the two uncover hidden experiments and a trail of linked murders, they must learn to trust each other to survive.
Together, they're the weapon that could either save the world or collapse it.
A Note from the Author
Thanks for checking out my debut novel.
I started writing Pudding Heroes in 2017 after realizing how many people, myself included, had experienced something they couldn't explain. Not just coincidence. But strange, pattern-like moments that made you stop and wonder: Am I imagining this? Or is something real happening here?
This story began as my way of making sense of that question. What it became surprised even me.
Pudding Heroes: The Rising Child is, at its core, a psychological thriller. It's fast, sharp, and packed with characters I can't wait for you to meet. Some of them will break your heart. Some might change your mind.
What I'm most proud of is how the story moves. It doesn't just entertain. It builds. It leaves traces. And for many people, it's done something more.
Yes, there's a theory tucked inside. Yes, the back of the book includes real-world evidence (don’t open it until you're done). But none of that matters unless the story works. And I think it does.
I can't wait for you to read it. And I can't wait for you to let me know how it resonated with you.
