Why I Write
Science fiction is where we confront the future, not simply imagine it.
​
I write about the unwritten. Stories of humanity’s fate, set on the knife’s edge between extinction and transcendence. In ten thousand years, we will be beasts or we will be gods. There’s not much middle ground.
​
My stories explore what happens along that edge: when civilizations fracture, when memory outlasts empires, when survival demands compromise, betrayal, or worse.
​
The awe of Foundation and Dune shaped me, but I’ve never been interested in pure nostalgia. I write about the price of survival: strategy turned to desperation, ideals tested by time, morality eroded by necessity.
​
The Galacticide series is handcrafted. AI is in the story, but it didn’t write it. Just one human mind, building futures out of fear, ambition, and the long echo of war.
​
It’s not the stars that define us.
​
It’s what we bring with us when we go.
