Overview

{SYSTEM BOOT: SEVEN_MINUTES.EXE} {TIMESTAMP: 11:45 AM - 09/25} Time stops. The system fractures. And two young men get seven minutes-just long enough for one question to remain unresolved: love() -> return pending ELI NAVARRO is the human embodiment of code. Love is an inefficient algorithm he refuses to run-until an artist crashes into his life like an exception he can't handle. ROWAN LAKE has been running his whole life. He traps time in his art to make it stay-until he runs into a robot of a human and has to figure out how to stay himself. Then everything stops. In the space between, nothing makes sense-not the looping, not the glitches, not even each other. But seven minutes is all they have. All they had. Somehow, it's enough. MARA NAVARRO has always been the perfect Mormon girl-until she's forced to choose who she is without permission. CAL LONG is an EMT who's fought death his whole life, until a boy with glasses-one who looks like the brother he lost-changes everything. Four voices. A dying system. And time that refuses to stay still. SEVEN MINUTES explores what remains after the body is gone, and whether love can return true when life is returning false. They only have seven minutes. {QUERY: Was seven minutes enough?} {RESPONSE: It's all they ever had.} {END TRANSMISSION}

Teagan currently lives in Salt Lake City, Utah, where they are for sure not stuck in a temporal loop. When not writing, Teagan can be found troubleshooting reality or attempting to convince story characters to behave. They are currently working on their second novel, assuming time remains linear.
