Let me take you somewhere dangerous.

Not just worlds of gods, monsters, and magic-but worlds where choices matter, power has a cost, and love doesn't always save you... even when you want it to.

I write character-driven fantasy and sci-fi with teeth.
Slow burns that hurt.
Found family that breaks.
Power that changes everything.

And sometimes...
The real world is worse than anything I could make up.

📚 Current Works

The Tendaaren Chronicles
Dragon Born • Book I and II
A world of elemental magic, prophecy, and choices that refuse to stay simple.

S.S. Olympus
Myth meets sci-fi where gods don't stay in legend-and neither do their consequences.

Soul Walker (in progress)
A darker, character-driven story of power, grief, and the cost of becoming something more.

Hospitali-TEA (non-fiction / narrative)
The reality behind hospitality, leadership, and human behavior-where the masks slip, the stakes are real, and the stories are somehow stranger than fiction.



✍️ What to Expect

These stories lean toward new adult / adult fiction, with a focus on:
• emotional depth
• character evolution
• immersive worlds
• and layered relationships

Romance exists here-but it is never the point.
The point is what people choose when it matters.



🔥 Author Notes

I'm currently refining and re-releasing my work as part of a larger publishing journey. Some chapters may evolve as the stories sharpen.

Feedback is always welcome. I read everything, and I genuinely care what you think.

My stories are currently available on Inkitt, Wattpad, and Royal Road
