Dear friends,
I’ve finished editing the final chapter of Robby Schur & the Golden Rat and have started uploading the text.
This project has been an especially fascinating experiment for me. I’ve written and published a book before — a more traditional science fiction novel — but this one turned out to be something entirely different.
This story is told through the voice of a fourteen-year-old American teenager. His tone — ironic, skeptical, often grumbling — gave the whole book a rhythm and color I hadn’t anticipated. What began as an adventure gradually became something more layered: a story about identity, courage, friendship, and the strange ways we grow when we’re pushed far outside our comfort zones.
Writing from inside that voice challenged me. It forced me to be sharper, more honest, and at times less comfortable. A teenage narrator doesn’t allow pretension — he questions everything, including the author.
I hope you’ll enjoy following Robby’s journey as much as I enjoyed discovering it.
Thank you for reading, for commenting, and for being here. Your support truly matters.
