The Figure Eights

Aleera Bellamy is a biomechanical engineer of renowned status. Of infamous acts. After years of research, Aleera has found a way to capture the very essence of thought. Digitize and transmit it across the airwaves. There is only one problem. Like many scientists, Aleera has the patience of a Texas oil tycoon in a dry winter. When Aleera uses the technology on herself, she discovers a boon and surprise—she can hear the thoughts of one of her patients—Big Momma.

After their meeting of minds, Big Momma becomes Aleera's right-hand and cybernetically-enhanced canine. Big Momma assigns herself the role of brood-leader and mad-scientist lab assistant. But Big Momma is not just thirteen pounds of gorgeous flesh and fur. She is part dog, part technology, and all ambition. And she is changing.

Together, the canine-godfather and human-biohacker perfect their small army of robot dogs. And set off into the world to exact revenge on those who've been—as Big Momma would say—naughty dogs.

What will Big Momma and her brood of organic and inorganic canine friends become? And will her human be able to keep up…

I will be donating 50% of the sale proceeds of this book to Austin Pets Alive! in Austin, Texas. Austin Pets Alive! is a shelter and leader in the No-Kill movement. Their innovative approaches to animal rescue, care, and re-homing have saved the lives of thousands of dogs and cats.

About the Author

Wendi Whitsett hails from the plains of West Texas. She's a proud Texan, though her travels have taken her from one end of the continent to the other. She's lived in San Francisco, where she studied and taught Yoga. She's lived in Boston, where she wrote music and explored her desire to 'flit-about' on stage. She's spent time in Central America, celebrating the Mayan New Year in Tikal and the many villages in the low and highlands of Guatemala. She's studied Shamanism and the ways of the indigenous cultures of the Quecha and Shuar throughout South America.

She has seen real magic. Though she understands now, after getting 'schooled' by Amazonian shamans, that magic is everywhere. It is the world around us.
