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 pressed to its limits, ideals tested by centuries, morality reshaped by necessity.
​
The Galacticide series is handcrafted. AI lives in the story, but it didn’t write it. Just one human mind, charting futures born of conflict, ambition, and the will to endure.
​
The stars don’t define us. We carry our own light, if we dare.
