Extended Forecast
A downloadable book
Story 1 in a cozy post-post-apocalyptic series inspired by the song (Nothing But) Flowers by the Talking Heads.
CAY-T is a tiny weather drone who wants to do big things. They’re not strong enough to carry farm tools or pick crops, but they can deliver the ten-day forecast, move insects out of harm’s way… and offer unsolicited romantic advice.
When NEON, the grumpy flower merchant, struggles to express his feelings for a local farmer, CAY-T is ready to help—whether NEON likes it or not. As CAY-T heads out in search of the perfect gift to bring NEON and his crush together, they discover abandoned buildings flourishing with daisies, quirky vending machines, and new friends in unexpected places.
In a world turned gentle and overgrown after a “soft” apocalypse, even the tiniest bot can be helpful. And maybe matchmaking isn’t that dissimilar from predicting the weather: a bit chaotic, slightly unreliable, but worth it when the forecast is right.

Is this related to The Elopement of Atticus and NEON? Will I need to read that first?
It's set before The Elopement of Atticus and NEON, yes. A prequel of sorts, though you don't necessarily need to read this one first.
I see. Thank you! 😊
