Are there readers who genuinely prefer short stories over longer-form fiction? If so, I have about half a dozen available to read on my website. All sci-fi. A couple even won awards. Feel free to check them out, and if you like them, subscribe for more content. 🔗 in bio.

I've somehow managed to get 92 sales of Motus across ebook, print, and audiobook since release day. Just 8 more sales to reach my goal of 100 in the first month. I think it will happen, even though sales are just trickling in at this point. Great for a debut hard sci-fi dystopian novel I think.

Announcing the upcoming release of Upended, the first book in a new hard sci-fi series. Release expected late January, 2026.

Motus was just released yesterday, so I hope this serves as evidence to future readers that I have plenty of experience and drive.

I had 9 people participate in the Motus preorder giveaway. They will all be getting a signed copy and other Motus merch as thanks. I had only planned on giving out one piece of merch each and a few signed books, but I wanted to make sure they knew how much I appreciated their support.

Just 4 more days left on the preorder giveaway campaign. Since so few people have participated so far, everyone is getting something. Want to read a hard sci-fi dystopian novel and score some merch, check it out.

Motus will be releasing October 9th and it could really use some early reviews. If you are interested, let me know and I'll send you a link to download the ebook. Honest reviews are appreciated!

As a writer releasing his debut novel, there's always the concern in the back of my mind that everyone will hate it. So it certainly got my heart racing when I saw I had a review left on Goodreads from a Book Sirens sourced ARC reviewer. Social validation for the win!

Motus is available for preorder with all major retailers.
I'm also excited to show off character art. Corun, the main character, is a miner who uncovers an unfamiliar rock in the underground city's path.
If you want to read his story before release, reach out to me about becoming an ARC reviewer.

Motus, is up for pre-order.
When Corun discovers a strange ore in the mines, it can only mean one thing. Their underground city's days are numbered. Their only hope is to find their origins. But for a people who have spent centuries digging, they didn't bury their secrets deep enough.

This is what happens when you decide to fuse your love of sci-fi with pottery.
It's the skull of a 4-eyed cow/bird/ human alien that I made up as I went.
It would be fun to partner with a modeling clay artist to do a forensic style facial reconstruction. What would it have looked like? #pottery

I pulled this small paraffin oil lamp out of the kiln yesterday. #pottery

I just published a paper on mobility impairment in older adults and how sex disparities can be explained by muscle mitochondrial energetics. 🧪

My first sake set. Perfect for a DnD night. It comes with a mini sake goblet for the game master. #pottery

My wife and I have some pottery on display at the local optometrist's office. We've been at it for about a year now.
