Here is the full synopsis for NORMIE:
Welcome to United America.
It's been five years since the White House Fire. Everything has changed. The Constitution is a relic of the past. Elections have been cancelled. The United States of America has been reborn as UNITED AMERICA.
In this dark new reality, Jack Campbell is just another cog in the machine, an ordinary office worker in the People's District—the capital of the new nation. But everything changes when, on his morning commute, he encounters a mysterious figure in a white rabbit mask. The chance meeting sets off a chain of events that shatters his routine life.
Jack inadvertently obtains secret information that could expose the regime's darkest secrets and dismantle the oppressive government. But with the eyes of the state watching his every move, Jack must navigate a treacherous path filled with danger and deceit.
NORMIE is a gripping tale of resistance in a dystopian world, where one man's quest for truth could ignite a revolution— or cost him everything.
Will Jack succeed in his fight to bring down the tyrants, or will the weight of United America crush him?

Why publish a novel through a newsletter?
The idea of serializing a novel is not new. Many classic stories like The Count of Monte Cristo and A Tale of Two Cities were initially serialized before full publication.
Publishing through this newsletter gives me total control over my stories and how readers interact with them.
It’s also a great way to experiment with my projects (like providing readers with a soundtrack and comic book for NORMIE).
Do free subscribers get the full novel?
Yes. Free subscribers will receive every chapter of NORMIE as they are released. There won’t be any bait and switch techniques to make you pay for the ending, or anything like that. I want people to read my stories.
What perks do paid subscribers get?
Exclusive additional content related to my novels. The specifics may change depending on the particular story.
For NORMIE you’ll get access to the official soundtrack, a prequel comic book, and weekly behind-the-scenes. For other projects I’d like to experiment with different types of media.
Why pay for an annual subscription?
NORMIE is only the beginning.
I want to publish multiple novels every year through the C.S.M. Fiction newsletter.
Between novel releases paid subscribers will still get weekly behind-the-scenes posts and other additional content.
Purchasing an annual subscription also saves you money over time and supports my work.
