Writing · Fiction

Stories about people living inside systems larger than themselves.

Historical and speculative fiction shaped by character, incomplete knowledge, inherited consequences, and the forces that constrain what people can do.

The throughline

Fiction where character, consequence, and history shape what becomes possible.

Begin with people under pressure.

Large structures matter because of what they demand, conceal, or make possible in individual lives.

Let choices accumulate.

Decisions leave marks on relationships, institutions, environments, and the choices that remain available later.

Build histories beneath the visible world.

What characters believe is happening may be only one layer of the larger system operating around them.

Current writing projects

Two worlds shaped by different histories.

The Travels of Heracles

A historically grounded reimagining of Heracles that asks how lived events, human motives, and accumulating consequences become myth and legend.

Drift Point

Science fiction about people adapting inside failing technological, environmental, and social systems whose purposes—and histories—they no longer fully understand.
