Let Me Be Your Ghost: Read My New Serialized Billionaire Romance Novel (First Chapters Free)

Big news for my fiction readers: I'm serializing a brand-new novel, and you can start reading it today — free.

Let Me Be Your Ghost is my new serialized billionaire romance novel, publishing chapter by chapter on my personal Substack, Sutoscience. New installments drop weekly, and the first four chapters are free to read right now.

Update, August 2026: the full novel is drafted, edited, and scheduled — and I’m now taking beta reader applications if you’d like to read the whole book early and help shape the final version.

What's it about?

Lola Whitman has built a career disappearing into other people's stories. As a memoir ghostwriter, she's invisible by design. Then Ezekiel Crane walks in — billionaire, tech CEO, defense industry darling — and asks her to write his memoir. He's charming, he's dangerous, and he's hiding something.

So is she.

Let Me Be Your Ghost is a story about deception, desire, and what happens when the most powerful man in the room decides he wants to know who you really are — and you've got secrets to keep. If you love slow-burn romance, morally gray billionaires, and heroines with dangerous double lives, this one is for you. (And yes — as a real-life memoir ghostwriter, I've smuggled plenty of true-to-life detail into Lola's world.)

How to read it

You can also browse the full series page to catch up on every chapter released so far. Subscribing (free) on Substack means each new chapter lands directly in your inbox every week — and paid subscribers get access to the whole story as it unfolds, plus behind-the-scenes notes on how I'm writing and serializing a novel in public.

Why serialized fiction?

Serialized novels are how Dickens did it — and Substack has brought the format roaring back. I've been writing about the craft and business of serializing fiction over on Make Writing Your Job, and this novel is me publishing the playbook in real time.

See you in the story. 🌉
