About K Bair

K Bair (1975-Present) is an American author/illustrator, who, despite academic expectations of becoming a writer, was determined to take the longest possible scenic route to avoid being "predictable".

Bair dove, head first, into the turbulent waters of video game animation at the tender age of seventeen (Ringworld 2, Star Trek: Judgment Rites), but managed to survive long enough to scramble onto the slightly less volatile crust of comic book creation a few years later (Ninja High School Hawaii, Oasis Destiny). After the dust cleared from the inevitable financial implosion, Bair found some stability in costume design, and set up a nice, little shack made from discount fabric remnants and silicone caulk. (The World of Wigcraft)

After the Great Moth Invasion of 2014, Bair became a cave-bound recluse, but stopped just short of going "full-hermit" to offer training and mentorship programs, allowing other artists to learn from a life of creative folly. (Cafe Hoshi)

In 2019, Bair decided to give into the brain's internal peer pressure, and finally let it use the hands to write a proper novel. However, the brain got greedy, and wrote seven more in the span of a few months, and the spine had to intercede by displacing four discs, stopping the hands from enabling any more of the brain's nonsense... at least until it had time to recover from surgery.

The result is The Ulysses Project, an on-going world of interconnected stories, where laughter isn't always happy, darkness isn't always sad, and there is more going on under the surface than most readers will catch on the first pass. As an autistic author, Bair hopes to give audiences a glimpse into the complex workings of a "different brain", with character driven stories that are intimate, honest, and continue to evolve as the reader's perception grows.

...and there are psychic cats. For people who like cats. Or psychics.

Becoming Ulysses: An Egodrive Prequel (The Ulysses Project) May 9, 2020

by K Bair , Marcia Brown

$3.99

As the queer son of an utra-conservative politician, Elias wants to be anyone but himself. His father's lawyer takes great pains to maintain the young man's anonymity, but after Elias narrowly escapes a nightclub massacre, there's no way to keep him out of the public eye - especially since he's been framed as an accomplice.

Elias receives an offer from a mysterious benefactor in Macao, who offers him a new identity in their blossoming pharmaceutical company. He's tasked with creating "the next big thing", with no other direction than a fully stocked lab and a greenhouse full of potential product. Elias isn't sure what he's supposed to be looking for, but he can't help but notice that his coworker seems almost too interested in his progress.

The change in locale isn't the only transformation happening in Elias' life, as bizarre visions of an alternate reality creep out of his dreams and into waking. He's hearing voices, seeing places he's never been, and for some reason, the deer head on the mantle is smirking at him. Elias has no one to confide in besides an adopted cat, who he's not really sure isn't the one creating the issues in the first place.

by K Bair , Marcia Brown

$2.99

In a world where identity has been reduced to DNA and a record of debt, and nanotechnology has made customization of the human body commonplace, Remy is a nobody by design.

Just when he starts to believe he's finally left his demons behind, they come for his wife - and the debt must always be repaid.

Believing that she has been kidnapped to be sold as a nanite-enhanced sex worker, Remy travels to The Netherlands to enlist the aid of a watchdog organization, and ends up uncovering a high tech human trafficking network operating out of Amsterdam's Red Light District. With each clue he finds, another finger points to his own past, and Remy realizes that the only way to recover his wife will be to sacrifice his anonymity.

The only witness is an amateur gamer named Iris, and Remy suspects she's already in the murderer's sights. The hunt takes him deep into gaming culture, where fantasy and technology blur, and numbers management can mean the difference between microwaved rice and filet mignon.

Iris is at the middle of it all, pushed and pulled by people who seek to use her, and struggling with her own crippling anxiety. But her natural skill is starting to turn heads, and if she can survive the murderer's game, she very well may be crowned the new queen of Steel Serpent.

Rose is dead inside. The explosion that almost took her life five years ago has left her forever changed, and without use of her hands, or her purpose as an Egodrive Security Specialist. When Ezra tells her of a clinic in Honolulu that claims to be able to restore the use of paralyzed limbs, her interest is piqued. Even more so, when she learns that they have unintentionally raised a man from the dead.

Rose teams up with Steven, Egodrive's only Nomodder agent, to learn more about the clinic, and they discover that the doctors, the patients, and the island -itself-, are covering up much more than the occasional zombie.
