NICOLE NAITO

With a focus on delivering amazing characters who do interesting (hopefully) things and have grand (albeit somewhat bloody) adventures into other timelines, I specialize in writing urban fantasy and science fiction. As a human writer, I manage all aspects of the writing process to guarantee a cohesive and completely NOT uncanny-valley-feeling-esque storytelling. Perhaps that new ChatGPT book isn’t doing it for you, or you’re sick of all the bland cookie-cutter stories out there – don’t worry you’ve come to right place! Here you’ll find alien invasions, cybernetically enhanced warriors, and immortal vampire mages who try really really hard not to kill (and fail miserably). Occasionally, there are lattes and cat wrangling as minor distractions, but otherwise this small corner of the interweb can be a nice respite. Please find your favorite beverage, pull up a bench, and enjoy.

Project Mood

Concepts

Some things I’ve been kicking around

The End of the World

…as we know it? Seems like we’re getting to that end stage of capitalism. But not to fear! That’s what escapism is for! Books, movies, music…all meant to bring us elsewhere.

The impending doom that is the Singularity

With generative AI already at everyone’s fingertips, no one knows what’s real and what’s made up by a computer anymore. For all you know, this could have been written by Hal. Or Sofia. (You know it’s Sofia).

Finding solutions off-world

The truth is still out there. But the Dark Forest theory might be the real reason we’ve been alone for so long. Unless those UAPs are actually from Rocky’s home planet, which is a hop, skip, and a jump from here.

Time Travel… or Timeline Travel

Really, it depends on the lore you’re into. It’s a personal preference? Which set of rules do you ascribe to? You could end up in an alternate universe. For all you know, you’re already in one.

What my cATS are saying

“Needs more discipline”

Nicole’s ideas are meow-exquisite and her ability to capture our attention greatly exceeded our expectations. But if you’re asking about writing, I really have no idea – I’m a cat. Meow.

On Motivation

“Should be feeding us more”

When she feeds us tuna, Nicole turns our dreams into reality. Her understanding of our needs and thoughtful pspsps always goes above and beyond. But she really should be feeding us more. I want that on record.

On Discipline

“Will work for long hours”

Working with Nicole was a pleasure. Her professionalism, creativity, and collaborative spirit works well for my needs. I supervise her every move and she will work for long hours. Luckily, I’m there to remind her to take breaks. The results speak for themselves.
