Hi, I'm Aurin!
I'm an author of speculative fiction about the damned, the devoted and the dangerous. I write about broken futures, cruel gods, false prophets, power that corrupts, and magic that always takes more than it gives.

I miss when characters could be morally complex and/or terrible people without the author having to declare “I disapprove of this.”
Now it feels like:
Character: (Commits heinous crimes).

81% OF PEOPLE SAY THEY WANT TO WRITE A BOOK. 15% START. 6% MAKE IT HALFWAY. ONLY 3% FINISH.
If you’ve finished a book, you’re among the rare few who didn’t just dream - you did the work. That’s more than an accomplishment, it’s something to be proud of.

By age thirty, the average person should have a minimum of two henchmen, one arch-nemesis, and a foil to expose their moral ambiguity.

If my life were a book, critics would call the plot ‘unrealistic’ and ‘concerning.’

The ideal way to be remembered in history is to write thousands of cryptic letters and die under mysterious circumstances.

I have exactly three types of writing days:
✔️ Get absolutely nothing done.
✔️ Squeeze in about 4 hours of writing/editing scattered throughout the day.
✔️ Write/edit an ungodly amount of chapters in a frenzied 8-hour marathon session.
