    She awakens the monster in me. 
     
     
     
    Claire is the epitome of a good girl. She's cute, smart, demure—and my student and teaching assistant for the semester. Of course, I didn't know the latter when we first met at The Velvet Rooms, an elusive kink club for the richest of the rich. I was looking for a little plaything, she was looking for a Master—and we both felt like we found the perfect match in each other. 
     
     
     
    Learning that she's a virgin already derailed my plans for the night, but fate had an even bigger twist waiting for us. 
     
     
     
    Finding her sitting in my class slammed the brakes on any fantasies we might have entertained. The tantalizing chemistry between us lingers, but the boundaries are crystal clear. 
     
     
     
    But I can't get her out of my head, especially when she starts playing with fire on campus, putting both of us at risk. 
     
     
     
    She needs to be punished. And she needs to become mine. Whatever the cost.

    In a near future where the boundaries between human intellect and scientific breakthroughs blur, "Call Me Al" unfolds the life-changing journey of Greg Nolan. Once an everyday man with a blue-collar background, Greg's existence is irrevocably altered by a revolutionary gene therapy meant to cure his brain condition. Instead, it elevates his cognitive abilities to extraordinary levels, propelling him into a reality filled with daunting challenges and complex moral questions.

    Set fifteen years ahead, the novel reflects on the trajectory of current scientific progress and the enduring question of our essence as human beings. “Call Me Al" is a thought-provoking story for those fascinated by the emotional intricacies of human connections and the speculative potential of future innovations.
