Winner of the Silver Award in science fiction, Nautilus Book Awards 2025, The Logoharp chronicles the life of a young American reporter who becomes an AI-driven propagandist for her Mother Country, China, in the 22nd century. Naomi starts out as a mistress of disinformation. She’s surgically transplanted, giving her extraordinary powers of foresight and physical strength. Hearing street conversation and government instructions in her Logoharp, a universal translator of 104 human languages, she predicts future political events with deadly precision.But Naomi also hears discordant voices coming from unidentified sources. These strange and contradictory voices sing to her of other worlds, other freedoms. When she’s tasked with finding a flaw in a State system that balances births and deaths-a system devised by a Chinese architect, Naomi’s lover who abandoned her in youth-she experiences 'unintentional contradiction.' Suppressed human memories and emotions resurface, compelling her to act. Her decision has unexpected consequences for the men and women she loves, and for the global masses she’s sworn to protect.WINNER: Literary Titan Gold Book (2024)FINALIST: American Fiction Awards (2024), Science Fiction/CyberpunkEDITOR’s PICK:Publisher’s Weekly Booklife (2024)EDITOR'S CHOICE: The Reader’s House, UK (2025)'Prepare to be swept away by an imperfect yet wildly relatable heroine. This ancient, futuristic world will make you angry, frustrated, hopeful, in love, and inspire an uprising within.' - Grace Diida, L.L.M, Venture Capital Research.      She reports the future. Then it happens.        Naomi, half-human, half cyborg, is beyond prescient. She’s a Reverse Journalist, working for China in the 22nd century. Naomi’s job is to foresee and report the events and personalities of the future. Unlike conventional journalists who frame contemporary events, Naomi extrudes the 'truth of probable outcomes' to ensure the smooth progression of history.             Driven by voices she hears in her Logoharp, a universal translator of instructions and signals from sources she can’t identify, Naomi listens, speaks and broadcasts in all world languages, ensuring citizen compliance. But an encounter with a leading architect, Naomi’s former lover who abandoned her in youth, forces recollections of her human inheritance and the role that chance, culture and racism played in her early life.              Naomi is tasked with finding a flaw in the architect’s system that 'balances' births and deaths on behalf of the State. But she grows uncomfortable, then furious. Guided by immortals and the dissonant Logoharp, Naomi experiences 'unintentional contradiction.' The rest isn’t silence. She acts.
