Sol K. Monroe spent decades slinging code, launching startups, and living at the crossroads of caffeine, pizza, and venture capital. After riding more product road-maps than roller coasters, he promised himself a sabbatical and headed for the hammock. The “breather” lasted about a week—just long enough for his brain to wonder, What would an AI-dominated world look like? Cue a neon-lit spiral of research, late-night plotting, and an alarming number of empty coffee mugs. The result is The Goddess Bait—book one of the Neon Gods series—a near-future thriller that fuses hard tech, flawed humans, and digital divinity.

When Sol isn’t engineering fictional worlds, he’s poking at real-world AI opportunities, blockchain curiosities, and the philosophical rabbit holes where code meets consciousness.

​These days he splits his time between Tampa’s humid sunsets, consulting gigs that keep him tethered to reality, and the next Neon Gods installment. If you enjoy smart sci-fi, razor-edge thrillers, or just need an excuse to philosophize over coffee, buckle up and come along for the ride.
