Young people on Alterra must choose. After they complete secondary school, they enroll either in University—a life of science and mathematical pursuits—or Monastery—a life of literature, history and spiritual depth.
Initiate Le is in his final year of school. All his life, he has prepared himself for University, but something feels wrong. Neither University nor Monastery compel him forward.
One night, Le discovers a young man from his school sneaking into a ‘zone,’ a dangerous area where nanotechnology runs rampant, cordoned off from the rest of the city. Against all reason, Le follows Initiate Stok inside. What he discovers will change him and his world forever.
Equal parts love story, military adventure and social philosophy, Alterra is the story of three young men striving to save two estranged parallel worlds whose only hope for survival is to rectify the ancient schism that shattered them both.

Alterra: Foreign Eden
In 2038, Alterra Robotics discovers a portal to a world untouched by modern industry, rich with magic, ancient creatures, and civilizations that have never heard of a megacorporation. To conquer this untouched land and resources, they deployed hundreds of thousands of androids as they slowly entrenched themselves in the world's history, undoubtedly changing the trajectory of their future. Alongside them are android inspectors-human employee who are tasked to evaluate their robotic workforces. Kusunoki Sakuta, one of Alterra's top android inspectors, is reassigned to Vernheit: a European-inspired nation on the continent of Caelum, home to Eisen Blut, Alterra's oldest and most powerful subsidiary. His job is straightforward. Evaluate the androids. Assess their performance, their mental stability, their physical condition. File the report. Go home. Most inspectors do exactly that. But Sakuta treated them as more than walking humanoid constructs. It's a habit that's earned him a reputation-and, apparently, a reassignment to one of the most politically significant postings on the continent. Alongside his corporate duty, he will also learn that... ... Perhaps being transported to an alternate fantasy world isn't as easy as it sounds.

While others lose themselves to the chaos, Soven watches. He studies. He understands. His goal is not gold, nor glory - it is to restore heaven on Earth, to resurrect a world of angels.

Anesthesia for A Cow
An oddity novella I wrote in undergrad, but one that I put a lot of soul into. The story follows three central characters who at different times/ages all interact in unexpected ways to change each others lives. It definitely has some pretension and thinks its more clever than it is, but I still think it's a fun story. I should note that there is a started, but unfinished part two. I may put that up in the future.Complete
