The Author’s Martrix — Dating Mishaps and Other Disasters

By: Martin Lundqvist

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

The Author's Martrix — Dating Mishaps and Other Disasters follows Geoffrey Tang, a charmingly hapless Sydney lawyer whose love life is a catalogue of near‑misses, awkward hookups, and surreal detours. From a library meet‑cute that evaporates mid‑coffee to a stormy robot date that ends with government invoices, Geoffrey's misadventures are equal parts cringe and dark comedy. When his friend Martin — a novelist with a taste for scripting other people's lives — literally becomes the author of Geoffrey's fate, the line between fiction and reality collapses. Add LSD, rooftop rescues, charity galas gone wrong, and a desperate attempt to rewrite the script, and you have a collection that blends laugh‑out‑loud rom‑com beats with uncanny, thought‑provoking twists.

Perfect for readers who enjoy witty first‑person voice, urban settings, and metafictional satire, The Author's Martrix asks who gets to write your story and what happens when you demand authorship back. This anthology is ideal for fans of contemporary rom‑coms with a surreal edge and short‑form fiction that balances humour, embarrassment, and surprising tenderness.
