Paracoding Press — an open book with a mushroom growing from its pages

Plate I · the imprint

A press that grows its own books.

A family imprint on a mushroom farm in Flagler Beach. We write in the open — Morrigan’s fiction and Scott’s field records — and where a book makes a claim, it was checked against something running before it printed. Two authors, four titles so far — and now open to other people’s.

Plate II · the catalogue

The Shelf

TWO AUTHORS

Everything the press makes lands here — Morrigan’s novels and Scott’s field records — every one built from a single source so the paperback, the hardcover and the ebook cannot disagree about what it says.

Morrigan’s Books

Fiction · The Great Thaw
Cover of Survival Is Buoyancy: Book One of The Great Thaw

Survival Is Buoyancy

The lights at the warehouse sit on a note nobody else can hear, and Wren Tulley has been told since she was a child that the problem is her. Then the water starts running warm from underneath, out of season, and the noise she has carried her whole life begins to resolve into something with a rhythm in it. She is not the only one hearing it. And the county has started making a list.

Scott’s Books

Systems, security, cultivation
Cover of Decoding Human History as Physics, Not Religion

Decoding Human History as Physics, Not Religion

The series opener turns the lens on us. Instead of heroes, villains and destiny, it reads civilization the way you would read a system — incentives, energy, feedback loops and constraints. Not what people believed, but what the mechanism actually did.

Cover of Everything Is Still a DNS Problem

Everything Is Still a DNS Problem

The field journal of building GPU high-availability failover for AI inference by supervising AI agents. What broke, what it proved, and what “verify, don’t claim” actually costs. Twenty years after DNS failover kept websites alive, the same question comes back for GPUs.

Cover of Agentic Fungi: How I Learned to Grow a Fleet of AI Strains

Agentic Fungi

A grow log from inside a running fleet of AI strains. A mushroom farmer who spent twenty years as a security architect built a collection of agents to run the business, and wrote down what it cost — including the morning he took the human approval step out of the system and had to explain why.

Plate III · for authors

Publish with us

We built a way to make books that does not let the editions drift apart, and we would rather other people used it than kept it. Small list, honest labels, no exclusivity.

One · cultivate

One source, every format

You bring the manuscript. It builds into the print PDF and the EPUB from a single file, so the editions can never disagree about what your book says.

Two · label honestly

Claims checked, not asserted

Where the book states something as true, we go and look before it prints. What we could not check says so on the page. It is the house rule and it is not negotiable.

Three · fruit

Print-ready, spine-exact

Cover wrap cut to your real page count, stock and binding — paperback and hardcover — plus the ebook cover, and the listing walked through to live.

Plate IV · the method

Have a book in you? Let’s grow it.

Ghostwriting, the Paracoding way. You bring the story — the career, the theory, the thing you have been explaining across dinner tables for twenty years. We bring a working press, a human editor, and a fleet of AI strains that draft, check and build alongside you. Out the other end comes a book with your name on the cover, in paperback, hardcover and Kindle.

It is how every title on this shelf was made. The first PARACODING book began as one man’s argument, talked out loud and pushed back on until it held together on the page — and then it printed. Yours can too.

We will tell you plainly where the machine helped and where the human did. It is the rule these books are written under, and it does not change for yours.

You have been telling this story for years. Let’s put it between covers.

One · talk it out

A conversation, not a blank page

You talk; we listen, transcribe, and ask the questions a good ghostwriter asks. Your voice is the substrate everything grows on.

Two · we draft, you decide

Chapters in your voice, checked before they land

A reasoning model drafts, a human edits, and every claim that matters is checked against something real before it goes in. You keep, cut or push back on every page. Nothing ships you have not read.

Three · it comes out a book

Print-ready, spine-exact, live on Amazon

One source builds the print PDF and the ebook, the cover is cut to your real page count, and we walk the listing through to live. Then a copy lands on your doorstep — and one on ours.
