The Lucky Machine is out TODAY!

January 11, 2026

Hey folks!

Quick heads up… The official book birthday (release date) of The Lucky Machine is January 11th, 2026, which is TODAY! As a reminder, The Lucky Machine is the second “The Machines” book, but doesn’t require you to have read The Warm Machine. Here’s the synopsis:

After a life of subservience wrought with extensive memory wipes, personal autonomous android model NX makes the fateful decision to slip from the mid-upper reaches of the city. In the dilapidated lower levels, she meets a talented but disillusioned cyborg named Sylvan who extends to her a temporary place working in his shop. As they sew the bonds of friendship and regain Sylvan’s lost passion, NX hones her own unique talents: for optimism, for charm, and for creating. With a little help from some friends – and a bit of luck – NX evades the forces that intend to recapture her or destroy her. The lower levels are easy to get lost in, but can she hide forever?
