Authoritarian Stories

The poor pay more, yet they are the proudest. Pummeled, punished, and proud. But from a single invitation after years of unknown interaction, a fair but fierce maiden gets to see how the other half lives: unbound, unstressed, and unbelievably distant. When 30 million light-years at 30 times your size ask you on a date in a literal blink of an eye, can you say 'No?' (Cover made with Autodesk Sketchbook and Adobe Spark)

Behold the daily lives of the citizens of 12th Landing, in all their shapes and forms, and find that all walks of life eventually succumb to Unity.

A shadow of vengeance is cast over the land of Nerus. Amidst failing peace in lawless Sector 6, rising stakes between the criminal underworld and the government, the Hernz Refinery is sieged by mutants seeking to exploit its facilities. Fiat justitia ruat caelum; a bygone land dazzled in trickling starlight, standing a solitary warrior, in hand, a destiny offset by six millennia. The splendid lands of the Pangea bridged to heavens by a jumping stream, divine knowledge disseminating throughout feeble man. Each teardrop is as but a lone memory, but a gleaming of a thousandth, pervading man to arm hubris that of a concupiscent dynast.

In 2025, the authoritarian 2025 Group crushes individuality and targets LGBTQI+ people, banning Pride, destroying safe spaces, and forcing re education through fear and surveillance. Seventeen year old hacker Riley works with an underground network hiding people in forgotten places. After Milo's graffiti sparks resistance when a youth centre is shut down, Riley joins Jude, Milo, Elliot, Flynn, and Sanna to form Spectrum, a small but defiant resistance led by Jude, driven by the loss of her sister. Spectrum sabotages propaganda with messages of hope and art, but the regime strikes back, tightening surveillance and capturing innocents. Close calls, rising fear, and the discovery of a mole test their trust, yet only strengthen their bond. Each member faces personal struggles as secrecy and danger press in, forcing them to grow, adapt, and lean on one another. When the 2025 Group announces a nationwide re education campaign, Spectrum launches a bold attack on the regime's data hub, risking everything to erase the records of thousands. They succeed, at a cost, and their act ignites resistance across the country. Hidden symbols, rainbows, phoenixes, and the words we will not fade, spread like sparks. In the darkness, chosen family becomes a revolution, and hope refuses to be silenced.

Hunter called himself an archaeologist, but he was a modern day treasure hunter. Tiyana was a scientist devoted to her craft. They were passionate people, wholly devoted to their work. Neither of them had time for love. Neither of them could resist it when it happened. Neither of them knew that the world would need the two of them to save it from a tyrannical pre-historic overlord, his cyborg vampire paramour, and their army of mindless drudges. Dawn of the Epoch is an epic science fiction novel about dark matter, death rays, nuclear warfare, and the Large Hadron Collider, but it is also a fantasy novel about medieval warriors, alchemy, and ancient gods. Dawn of the Epoch blends fantasy with reality, bringing mythology to life today. It is also an apocalyptic thriller spanning the globe from the Pyramids of Egypt to the heart of Africa to the majesty of the Himalayas. It is an epic hybrid-genre story with intense action sequences, magic, mythology, suspenseful plot twists, countless obstacles for the protagonists to overcome, and an utterly Machiavellian supernatural villain. Testimonials: "Probably one of my favorite books I've read to date. Brilliantly complex, adoringly rendered and quizzically intense. A must read and one I plan to revisit, and share!" - Amgwatts, Wattpad Reader "This has to be one of the most original and well written novels I have had the pleasure to read, on Wattpad and in general. It was captivating, interesting, immersive and above all, fantastic. I was left in awe of the beings, history and world you created. It was never dull, dry or predicable and it was a nice change from what seems to be the ever popular teen romance with vampires or werewolves or 'bad boys that are actually romantic good boys.' In the end it was a very pleasant surprise." -IridescentLies, Wattpad Reader http://dawnoftheepoch.weebly.com

An essay I wrote for school that I liked which compares the concept of doublethink in the book 1984 by George Orwell to modern America

Valaz hates the organization, it's spread across the entire universe except for earth - the rebels' last safe haven. I may revise this later but it's 'complete' at the moment.

To interdimensional traveler Ryder Steele, a new Earth usually just means a new radio station to dial into. But when his ship, the Cosmo X, lands in a distorted timeline of Earth, he's greeted only by static and an eerie, looping broadcast: "Purity is peace. Order is freedom." Ryder has stumbled into New Washington-a sterile, rain-slicked dystopia ruled by the iron grip of President Baron Vane. Here, compliance is mandatory, the air is choked by drone patrols, and every citizen's worth is violently decided by a mandatory biometric chip embedded beneath their skin. Blue means safe. Red means you disappear into the restricted Sectors forever. When Ryder steps in to save a Sector kid from a brutal Enforcer patrol, he unwittingly paints a target on his own back. With the Cosmo X locked down by a city-wide surveillance grid and his own biometric signature flagged as an "unknown variable," the easy exit he's used on thirty other Earths is suddenly gone. Now, trapped in a timeline where resistance is a death sentence, Ryder is pulled into the city's hidden underground. To survive, he'll have to ally with Ameria Justice-a former superhero broken by the regime-and a scrappy political campaign trying to fight a rigged system from the shadows. Ryder Steele is used to running. But on an Earth that has forgotten how to fight back, he might just have to stay and finish the job.

In the distant future, life on Earth is mysteriously coming to an end. To ensure that the last of mankind dies out in a peaceful and civilized manner, the authoritarian Elders manage both dwindling resources and human lives in a strict quota system. Yet none of their precise calculations could have predicted the Throwback Effect — the impending extinction is triggering the young men in their society to revert to a primitive state of pure survival instinct. Liam, a supply pilot, and Lily, the daughter of the Head Elder, are childhood sweethearts. After discovering that Lily has been ordered into Involuntary Suicide by her own father, Liam leads a group of Throwback rebels in trying to conquer and colonize a suspiciously Earth-like planet covertly protected by the Elders’ Council. Little does Liam know that he’s disrupting an ancient cycle that will prove catastrophic for both planets — and his future with Lily. Note from author: This is the first completed novel I'd ever written. I submitted it to publishers, got a revise and resubmit from a major house that didn't work out, and moved onto other projects. Now, a few books later, I woke up one day and decided it's time to give it another go. I'll be re-editing the original manuscript in segments with skills I didn't possess before, and post them here on a regular basis. Enjoy and please let me know what you think of it :) There's just something about this story that speaks to my heart, and I'm so honored to share it with you.
