Dot Slash Magic

Including magic, AI and punk culture, Dot Slash Magicis a new, spicy urban fantasy from TikTokker Liz Shipton, perfect for fans of I am Number Fourand Zodiac Academy.

When twenty-something coder Seven Jones goes back to school at a community college in San Diego, the last thing she wants is to join some stupid club. And the last thing she expects is for that club to be an underground magic club. Like, actual wizards and sh*t.

Surrounded by a motley crew of magic weirdos, Seven discovers her own power and struggles to control it...until she figures out how to channel her magic through an artificially intelligent computer program.

But when terrifying creatures from all sorts of mythologies show up and start hunting students, Seven fears her magic AI is somehow summoning them. When another student is killed, blame falls on Seven and her ＂artificial magic.＂

With only one person - cute ex-Navy seal Logan - on her side, Seven fights for her life against the monsters, and struggles to convince everyone that her AI has nothing to do with them.

But how can she convince her peers when she isn’t totally convinced herself?

Dot Slash Magic is a ＂Romantas-topian＂ about love and friendship and how we can work together to bring down the real bad guys.

Liz is a freelance writer, author, and full-time, off-grid liveaboard sailor. She’s currently sailing around the world with her boyfriend and dog, turning her real-life adventures into speculative fiction. Her books explore themes of mental health, addiction, technology-creep, climate change, and the looming collapse of society (but, like...in a fun way.) When she’s not penning novels about the impending apocalypse, you can find Liz swimming, hiking, telling her dog ＂I love you＂ for the bazillionth time today, or watching Taskmaster.
