Also: COVER REVEAL (draft version)! It might still change, but I'm really happy with it so far. Seeing it on my Kindle makes it feel real.

Hi! I write sci-fi and fantasy. This series is a historical fantasy based on the Roman Empire.

🧵 It's a decade-long commitment, but editing book one makes me excited for the long road ahead. 📚✨ #amwriting #sff #plotting

🧵 The faction system in Red Rising feels a bit YA-simplistic, but the story is undeniably addictive. Learning some new tricks from this writing style. #booksky #RedRising #reading

🧵 I'm shifting focus to Imperial Dawn edits now. How do you handle the slowdown after a big creative burst? #amwriting #writerslife

🧵 It's been fun flexing a different writing muscle. And yes, they still connect to my Deepline & Endless Runtime worlds! #amwriting #substack #writerslife

🧵 I don't want to be boxed in as only expected to write around my own identity. I'm a speculative fiction author who explores all human experiences across time and space. #writerslife #speculativefiction #writingidentity

🧵 Writers: What gets you through the middle of the tunnel when you're working toward the light? #amwriting #copyediting #writerslife

🧵 His campaign makes me want to weave that kind of inspiring political momentum into my future stories. Glad to see my vote put to good use! 🗳️✨ #ZohranMamdani #Hopeful #Election

🧵 This is my way of contributing to the conversation. I want my stories to move people and make them think. #speculativefiction #politicalfiction #amwriting

They might be less marketable, or maybe it's just not the right moment in time for them, but I don't regret a single word. They were necessary, fun, and taught me so much.

Do you have stories like that in your digital drawer? The ones you wrote just for the joy of it?

🧵 But the end is in sight! Hoping to wrap copyediting on Imperial Dawn early next year, pushing this Roman historical fantasy one step closer to release.
