Hey. I wrote a thriller about the convergence of technology and influence, and how easily one bad actor in a position of power could leverage the two for total control of the American mind. It’s call RAIN, and I think it’s pretty damn good. connermichaelbooks.com

@KiDCuDi Five years from now I’ll probably be having a drink with you, discussing the film adaption of the technothriller trilogy I’m writing. First book comes out next week on July 1. Second volume early 2027. We’ll look back on this message and laugh with an Oscar in hand.

In the next 5 years, what do u want to be doing? What do u want to achieve? Me, in the next 5 years I want to have a career as a writer/director, and a reputation that I always make original dope films. Your turn...

@SheaSerrano There are a lot of words in the English language that could be used to describe this but I think “this fuckin rocks” is about all you need.

RAIN officially launches in less than 2 weeks. To my ARC Readers, I’d be a happy fella if you dropped your honest review on GoodReads before July 1 🫶 goodreads.com/book/show/2513…

Because I enjoyed writing the story. And I just want other people to (hopefully) enjoy it as much as I did. Why wait for someone else to grew light that?

🧵 9 “Why self publish?” Easy. Shot my shot to about 100 different publishing houses and got left on read or denied. So I could either keep firing applications into the abyss or just do it myself so the book is available, which felt like an easy decision. I wrote the story…

With the book coming out in under a month, I thought I’d add some color around some of the themes, characters, and future plans for the series. Hoping to post at least one of these a day up until the release. If you like what you read, be sure to follow along 🧵

Thinking back on his past, and wishing that was better for him. So now he’s in a position to potentially be not only a better version of himself (man, father, husband, etc) but also create a future that is better for his children and their children. At least I hope that’s how it

Rockstars and musicians who start to hate their hit songs. After this final revision I completed recently, I knew I had to wipe my hands and send RAIN into the abyss. Any more nitpicking from me just hurts a writer’s confidence.

🧵 7 “How many revisions did you do of RAIN” More than I could have ever dreamed of or wanted to do. I’m really proud of this story and really enjoyed writing and it talking about it, but it definitely made me understand the stories of famous..

Which is where things good equally fun and spooky to think about (and write about) + it’s where some of my favorite movies/stories have come from. All that said, I hope the machines don’t turn on us while I’m still puttering around :)

🧵6 “Are you an AI doomer?” Short answer: no. But anyone who has utilized the major LLM’s understands that there will inevitably be a time where it is substantially smarter than any of us. And once it gets to that point, we really have no idea how it’ll decide to treat us

Took up nearly all the time I had, so RAIN was put on ice for a bit before I could start combing through it and cleaning it up. That’s a painful process. But I’ll say after 459,362 iterations and rewrites, I’m pretty excited to share it with you soon 🙂

🧵 5 “When did you start writing RAIN?” I actually wrote most of this first book way back in 2019-2020 and boy did it STINK. The plot was mostly the same, but I ripped out a few things that just left gaping holes for the reader. I started a new job right around this time that

Villain, love interest, etc. This also may just be a me thing, but it made it easier to write to not have that conscious/subconscious connection between the story world and real world

🧵 4 “How did you pick character names?” This one’s pretty basic ngl - just picked names that I didn’t already have a personal relationship with. Makes conversing about the book much easier when you aren’t talking to a friend who also happens to have the same name as your..

To dive deeper into Kamara’s or the other camps experience of navigating being hunted by Viallis and her cronies. All that being said, one book at a time 🙂

🧵 3 “How many stories are in the RAIN series?” My plan (right now) is to wrap up the primary story here as a trilogy. After that, I like the idea of expanding the story to learn even more about David (perhaps take a story into his POV in the future), or even spin off…
