 Writing has always been one of my strongest passions in life. Through storytelling, we can share our brightest moments, unforgettable sensations or darkest tendencies, and it's these little experiences that give personal meaning to us, in a world that may seem as though such intimate relevance is dwindling. Whether these insights are seen through another's eyes, or felt in our own unique way, each of them contains incredible perceptive power. Through the literacy process, such moments can be expressed in exquisite, practically unlimited ways.

Through this platform,  my aim is to share my own words and tales. To entertain, to inspire, or perhaps even to help you escape to another place, if only temporarily.
​
​So come and take a look through the window I've prepared for you. It's not perfect, and you may not see everything you thought, but you may end up finding exactly what you needed. I hope you'll be entertained, experience emotional resonance with a character, witness something thought provoking, or even catch a glimmer of astonishment, as my characters, cities and stories unfold before your eyes.

Thank you, and welcome to my website.

An Obsidian Sky: Part Two eBook is now available, and it's been an incredible journey.

A decade of my life has been dedicated to the words and pages that await you. Considering I'm in my thirties, it's quite a large amount of time to be spent telling a story about people who didn't exist, and events that didn't really happen. Time spent learning how to write the best piece of fiction that I could.

And yet, as I look back on the project, I couldn't be happier with the investment. There's something special about books that other mediums can't express. With a few words and sentences, I'm able to fuel your imagination and let you paint the picture in your own unique way, and I'm blessed to be able to share it with so many people.

Our perceptions, how we see each other, is one important lesson to be learned with an Obsidian Sky. The human mind has infinite complexity, and it's easy to judge others based on the limited slice of experience we see. But things are rarely so simple.

As a sincere thanks to everyone who's supported me, both Part One and Part Two are available for 99 cents until Thursday the 14th of January.

2020 was rough, and 2021 hasn't started off great. But consider An Obsidian Sky as an escape, a brief reprieve to take you somewhere else for a moment. The magic of reading and imagination is never lost to us, not completely, no matter how long it's been since we've turned a page. 


“Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.” - Neil Gaiman.
