Hello! I enjoy writing dark, high fantasy in my own worlds and developing beloved or hated characters, often of non-human races. I also have a love and professional knowledge of ecology and biology, and this reflects in my world and creature design.

Looking at bugs under the scope at work, and I see this fella who died in the middle of becoming an adult.
It's macabre, but I wanted to take a picture to remind myself that change is a universal struggle. And there's beauty in bettering yourself, even the darkest moments.

Gotta do some final tweaks to the cover and formatting. But my first novel and physical publication is almost ready for distribution!
Three years and lots of headaches later...

I'm not much of an artist, but I felt like making something from my books.
In the Monster's Wake (published): Morane enjoying the sea at night.
The Shadowbound Fates (unpublished): Teris fights with an invisible halberd in the rain. Also, a stylized Ectin.

The dark fantasy series I'm working on was in large part inspired by how I see the rise of hate and despotism within my own home state.
I wanted to portray the start of an evil fantasy faction from a realistic perspective: fueled by good intentions and twisted righteousness.

Okay so.
Unhinged theory from a dude with no authority.
We all suspect the nurse joys are clones, right?
But how, why?
Who has access to cloning technology?
Who stands to gain from a global network of clone-staffed pokemon centers that double as tax write-offs?
Team Rocket/Giovanni.

Very important question.
Do you consider this book fantasy?
I would argue it has many fantastical elements. Not even counting the talking animals.

Had a great time today recording the audiobook(audio drama?) for In the Monster's Wake.
After editing, it'll either turn out great or like flaming ocean garbage.
But no matter what, I had an awesome time making throat-destroying voices with my friends.

I know I'm one of a thousand people saying it, but they are NOT direwolf clones.
They are genetically modified regular wolves, which still does make them something new and cool.
This was the whole point of Jurrassic Park.
