GV available right now!

In the world of GV, computer games have evolved to the point at which you can superimpose your image onto those of the characters in the game.  This is called Going Vicarious, or GV.  The game progresses based on the choices made by the people who have elected to participate (by, as previously described, superimposing their images).  Imagine reality television, but you’re actually in it.  Where the line between game and reality is exactly, we can’t be sure, and that intriguing question forms the mystery behind this story.

 It’s thirty years in the future and Sarah has a dilemma: continue her safe, dull existence, or take the chance offered by this new world of substituted reality. The story leads us through this world of appearances in which form eclipses meaning, and the lines between games and real life are thin and blurred.


Here are the world-famous Kindle Reading Apps so that you can read GV on your iPad, iPhone, PC, Mac, tablet, or, by golly, even on a Kindle!

For the month of January 2013, Tom will donate 50% of his royalties for GV to Collie Rescue of the Carolinas.
