Over the past year, I wrote a novel and hibernated an early project called the Existential Crisis Hotline, which was an experiment in ARG recorded menu stuff that I just didn’t have the energy to maintain during a global pandemic. I’d just gotten the twitter bot for the project behaving well enough that I wasn’t receiving calls from actual people in crisis, and I didn’t want to try maintaining it when so many more people were suddenly in crisis.

The phone line still works if you want to call it (the project website is linked above). But for now, it’s in a holding pattern and the bot has been deactivated, and there’s nothing driving anyone to the number.

The novel I wrote is complete except for the last editing pass and formatting, and will be available for beta readers by the end of March. Preorders will start in April. If you want to be a beta reader, you can sign up at EdgeAnomaly.com

I’m also working on an animated tiktok project to promote the book. If you join the book waiting list, you’ll get an announcement when that launches. Here’s a little sample, it’s going to be cute:
