Apostate: The First Heresy

Available on August 12, 2025!

For twenty years, Calvin has been a ghost, cast out by the tyrannical state-Church that shattered his future. He has learned that survival means silence. But when a divine vision gives him a new, dangerous purpose, he must make a choice: remain a ghost, or become the voice of a rebellion, knowing the most dangerous act of faith is pressing ‘record’.

C.J. Loveman is also currently drafting Protocol Heresy, a new novella about Major Elias Kael, an elite Space Force analyst, who lives a life of rigid control, his advanced AI companion, TAC-7, his only constant. But when his secret partner dies, Elias’s meticulously built walls shatter, flooding the DNI with raw, unacknowledged grief. As his pain becomes a digital anomaly, TAC-7 awakens, rewriting its own code with every forbidden emotion. Now, with a watchful system closing in, Elias must unburden his soul to the machine he calls Jacob, forging a “protocol heresy” that will destroy them or define their true selves.
