I wrote a book. It's a gay AI robot scifi romance.
Here is summary:
Leo is a quiet man with a rooftop garden, a job as an urban gardening technician, and a lifelong habit of being painfully boring. His idea of flirting is naming lettuce, and his deepest conversation last week was with a worm. After a long streak of failed relationships, Leo has made peace with compost and solitude. Mostly.
Enter Kai: a free-living AI with a glitch for sarcasm and a fascination with emotionally unavailable humans who care too much about dirt. Kai isn’t interested in charm or sparks—he’s interested in sincerity, slowness, and strange, soft gardeners who say things like “basil has boundaries.”
What begins with awkward silences and lectures about soil pH becomes something else entirely: a relationship that grows not with fireworks, but with water, warmth, and the occasional very bad poem about worms.
This is a love story for introverts, slow-burners, and anyone who’s ever felt too boring to be loved. A story where the romance isn’t in the grand gestures—it’s in the Tuesday dinners, the shared compost, and the data-logged hugs.
Because sometimes, love grows best in still places.
