Michael B. Gilliam
Creator of The Roscoe Rainey Series, a nine-novel story about systems, responsibility, unintended consequence, and the people asked to decide when optimization begins changing the world around them.
This is the central author hub for the books, the Roscoe Rainey world, and professional information about the series.
The Project
Nine connected novels
The series follows Roscoe Rainey and a recurring team as a pattern first noticed in technical systems grows into a question about how people choose to live with systems that increasingly remove friction for them.
Current Work
Series development and editorial preparation
The larger arc is being developed as a complete nine-book cycle, with continuity, character relationships, and series-level structure being reviewed across the manuscripts.
Book One
Ledger
Ledger introduces Roscoe Rainey, the team around him, and the first evidence that ordinary technical improvements may be connected by something larger.
Ledger is the planned revised series edition of the novel originally published as Black Ledger. The central story remains substantially intact while characterization, relationships, and series continuity are being revised to reflect the completed arc.
Currently published: Black Ledger. The revised Ledger edition is in development.
