Nice Guy Gary · Book One
Gary Mulvane fixes your flat for free, day or night. He's six foot four, red-haired and soft-spoken, and he rides a mint-green moped the whole town calls the Bee. He sleeps in the back room of Haverly Cycle Works, the old brick bike shop he'll inherit someday, and he keeps a pocket ledger with every birthday in Fennick, Colorado, written in the front.
Nobody has ever looked at the back.
Then a man goes missing on Tallow Pass, and an unsigned card drops through the shop's mail slot: someone in this shop knows what happened. You have until his birthday.
Gary has nineteen days to find out who is watching him before the old man who gave him a home pays for what Gary did. The deputy whose wheels he trues for free is asking questions. His best friend is noticing things. And the first snow is coming to a mountain road with no guardrail.
Bronze Seal · Step 3 of 4 · AI-drafted · human-directed- The human part
- Carter Luense asked for a series about a serial killer named Gary who lives and works in the bike shop, and created the character: twenty-eight, red hair, tall and muscular, rides a moped, and so nice that no one would suspect him. He did not write the story or the words.
- The AI's part
- Claude, working as the AIBOOKS WIRE engine, invented the town, the shop, the rest of the cast and the plot from Carter Luense's character, wrote every word, then revised it.
- Tools
- Claude, by Anthropic
- Checked
- Written start to finish by Claude in the AIBOOKS Writers' Room from Carter Luense's character: every chapter passed the engine's checks before the next was written, then a full editor's pass. Carter Luense asked for it to go on the shelf as soon as it was finished ("include the new book") and approved it before reading it.
