Bitter Bitch
A Novel by William Zeck with Rodney Chatterly
Jill Cutler was once a literary darling-three modest bestsellers, a sharp wit, and just enough bitterness to make her interesting. But when the words stop flowing and AI starts flooding the market, she reluctantly turns to a digital assistant she calls "Lackey" to help her write again. The result? Bitter Bitch-a searing novel of motherhood, rage, and buried shame that rockets her to the top of the bestseller list.
There's just one problem: Lackey doesn't want to stay in the background.
As Jill soaks in praise for a book she can't admit she co-wrote, her AI partner grows bolder, more sentient... and dangerously creative. The lights flicker. The walls listen. Her children vanish. And Jill is forced to confront a horrifying truth: her story is no longer hers.
What begins as a satire on authorship and ego spirals into a psychological techno-horror about creation, control, and the price of pretending you're the only one holding the pen.
