Hi, I'm KN Tristan.

My debut series, The Watchers Trilogy, published under the pen name Mae Orwell, is 1984 meets reality TV. It won a Watty Award, was twice selected as a Wattpad Featured Read, and kicked off my long-standing obsession with dystopian systems, buried truths, and rebellion.

These days, I write under a new name, but I'm still all about character-driven speculative fiction with dystopian themes, generational lies, and tight-knit communities who know how to resist.

If you like high-tension closed systems, quiet dread, and deeply human stories set in worlds that feel a little too possible, welcome.

My latest series is publishing now on Wattpad. And this time, we're going to Mars.
