Two story worlds. Different genres. The same interest in memory, power, identity, and the stories people choose to believe.
A WOUNDED LAND
The Spiral Wakes
Book One of A Wounded Land
Epic fantasy • broken oaths • memory • unity

The mountain realm is already carrying old wounds. Betrayal has shattered its oaths, rival powers are moving against one another, and Elrich is forced to confront an inheritance larger than the life he expected to lead.
Guided by people who remember more than they can easily explain, he is drawn toward the Spiral—an older idea of unity, memory, and obligation whose meaning may matter as much as the power others believe it holds.
ZERO LUX
ZERO LUX
A near-future techno-noir thriller
surveillance • manipulated reality • identity • truth

Systems specialist Mara Kade encounters something that should not exist: two versions of the same operation. One is unstable, human, and flawed. The other is clean, official—and wrong.
Her search for the difference pulls her through a near-future city where feeds can be curated, history can be rewritten, and awareness itself can make someone a target.
