Background

I hold a Bachelor’s of Science in Physics. I’m 30-some years of age. Working a white-collar job in middle-management has highlighted my need for a sense of purpose unrelated to a conventional career. Corporate-centric spreadsheets are something I excel at. I’m not proud of that fact. Yes, that pun was intended. The Monday to Friday workweek grind is a thing I’ve been accustomed to for the better part of a decade. I guy has to eat after all. I hold no literary accolades to brag of, beyond proud ownership of a humble book collection and a library card.

I can hear you yawning through my ethernet cable.

The thing is, I love to write.

There are a scant few hours every evening where I get to disappear into a craft I revel in. Minutes where I can explore my mind and create stories from nothing. Seconds where I think what I’m writing might just be saying something important.

Should you find some time for me, I’d love to share my work with you.

Writing Philosophy

I believe fiction is a sandbox for the human condition.

What does that mean in terms of my creative approach?

Take the characters, make them believable, make them flawed and relatable. Then put them through adversity and see how they change and react, both physically and spiritually. I want to create a human experience that resonates with readers. One where the stakes and characters feel genuine and grounded in reality…but where the environment is supernatural. I want to write fantasy that makes you feel the human parts of your reality, and the supernatural magic of your imagination.

That’s the intent. That’s the promise I try to deliver on at every turn of the page.

Goal

The goal is to create high-quality, engaging reads for the enjoyment of as many people as possible. If that ends up being just one stranger, to whom I sell a single copy—well, goal achieved. I hope they enjoy it!

Current Projects and Aim

The Derivations Trilogy and the Chronicles of the Usurper Series are my current focuses. I’m spreading myself too thin you say? Perhaps. My coffee pot would agree with you. I would not.

I aspire to have the first instalment of Chronicles out for consumption mid-Fall 2025, followed in late-Fall or early-Winter by the first book of The Derivations Trilogy. Following this, the intent is to publish the concurrent novels in each series until such a time as both works are complete.

In my downtime, I’ll be couponing aggressively for caffeine products. Check out the Status Board for insights as to where I’m at!
