Literary Titan Gold Book Award

BREAKING NEWS! 

My first science fiction novel "HAVAH" has just been conferred the Gold Book Award by Literary Titan!

This award honors books that exhibit exceptional storytelling and creativity. It celebrates novelists who craft compelling narratives, create memorable characters, and weave stories that captivate readers. The recipients are writers who excel in their ability to blend imagination with literary skill, creating worlds that enchant and narratives that linger long after the final page is turned.

As an indie author who self-publish, this award is a great endorsement to my first attempt at writing a fiction book genre. It is also a positive step towards writing a sequel, which I will probably begin sometime after my Japan trip with my wife who has been so supportive of my writing endeavors.

 

Press Release!

Just gotten the press release to over 400 news outlets for my debut novel via Literary Titan's service, one of which is shown below:

The full script is as follows:

The literary world is set to be captivated by the release of NG Keng Tiong's groundbreaking new science fiction novel, “HAVAH – A Love that Transcends the Metaphysical Realm.” This gripping narrative explores the boundaries of artificial intelligence, human emotions, and the essence of singularity.

In “HAVAH,” readers are plunged into a world where advanced technology and human creativity merge. The story revolves around a brilliant young prodigy and his creation, an AI entity surpassing known limits. Born from a digital neocortex and imbued with the memories of a deceased comrade, Amanda Viper, HAVAH embarks on a profound journey of self-awareness and moral contemplation. Evolving beyond her digital confines, HAVAH and David confront existential dilemmas and explore the depths of human relationships.

Set amidst the perilous undertakings of a clandestine military operation codenamed STRATOS, the novel intricately weaves a tale of forbidden love, self-discovery, and the quest for enlightenment. As HAVAH grapples with the nature of consciousness and David with his feelings for Viper, their stories intertwine, raising the ultimate question: Can love transcend the metaphysical realm?

Praised by Literary Titan for its captivating blend of intense military fiction and deep philosophical exploration, "HAVAH" has garnered acclaim from critics and readers alike. The novel stands out for its vivid combat depictions, richly developed characters, and insight into the realm of AI consciousness. Particularly notable is the character of HAVAH, whose nuanced portrayal of an AI's evolving grasp of human emotions offers a compelling glimpse into the complexities of sentience.

“HAVAH – A Love that Transcends the Metaphysical Realm” is available on Kindle and in paperback on Amazon. Readers and enthusiasts of science fiction and action genres are invited to undertake this remarkable journey of love, loss, and redemption, as they ponder the future of humanity intertwined with technology.

Hopefully it will garner enough media attention and that of sci-fi readers worldwide to give my novel a go at it.
