Happy Valentine’s Day, my Followers of Fear. Today’s a day about being with your special one, of showing them you care, and of spending a ton of money on flowers or chocolates or lingerie. And what better way to celebrate this most romantic day by reading a free science-fiction love story?
Okay, there are probably a hundred other way to celebrate Valentine’s Day, but I’m hoping you’ll make time to read this new story by yours truly, Gynoid. This is a story I wrote back in 2015 and which I’ve been wanting to publish since then. And now it’s available. Well, the first part is, anyway. It was really hard figuring out where to divide this story for the first part, actually. Every time there’s a scene break, I feel like people are going to want to read more. Still, I managed to find a good place to end Part 1, and Parts 2 and 3 just sort of revealed themselves to me. Love it when that happens.
Now, if you would like to have a description of what Gynoid’s about, here’s the blurb I wrote:
When Toby Crimson orders a gynoid, a robot designed to look and act like a human girl, he knows he shouldn’t be doing it in the first place. Gynoids are for perverts and losers, after all. But Toby has told a lie, and he needs the gynoid, named Ariel, to keep that lie up. What he never expects is to actually like Ariel being around. Or that Ariel is going to change his life. Whether he likes it or not.
I hope that whets your literary appetite. And did I mention it’s free and not scary?
Anyway, I’ll be publishing Part 2 on the 21st, and Part 3 on the 28th. All of them will be on Wattpad, which is a free site to peruse and free to join. I’ll make sure to post the links for those as well then they come out. In the meantime, the link for Part 1 is down below. Go ahead and have a read. And when you do, come back here and let me know what you think. Positive or negative, I love reader feedback, and I would especially love to hear yours.
Until next time. Enjoy!

This seems like a good celebration to me!
You’re so kind, Joleene. 🙂
