Publisher's Synopsis

A low-steam near-future billionaire thriller romance.

"For anyone who would like a little substance alongside their escapism." Reader Review

"I'm still thinking about it." Reader Review

"I can't stop telling others to read it so I can discuss it with them!" Reader Review


It's 2048. Automation has stolen vast swathes of jobs, and the government pays everyone a no-strings-attached income, enough to live on, in order to keep the economy going. Society is split into those who can get jobs; engineers, managers, creatives, and those who cannot.

Iva Brooksbank, Senior Investigator of the Enforcement Office, has made a career of taking down corporate moguls who flout the rules, and now she has Guy Strathclyde, CEO of Cybax Technologies, firmly in her sights. She's sure he's up to something, and races to find evidence that will stick, before her time runs out.

Lulu Banks, a world famous artist, uses her work to highlight the deep inequalities and injustices the world now faces, perpetuated, she thinks, by the relentless march of technology. But when she finds herself the object of Guy's affections, she has to decide if she can trust his intentions, or if he's just the same as all the other corporate big dogs.

In the Gleaming Light unashamedly bends genre boundaries. With elements of sci-fi, thriller, and romance, it's equal parts thought-provoking and indulgent and will leave you wanting more.
