Hello, and welcome to my corner of the internet.
I’m thrilled you’ve found your way here, whether by accident, algorithm, or genuine curiosity about stories that refuse to let you sleep peacefully. This site is where I’ll be sharing my journey as an author, diving deep into the worlds I create, and connecting with readers who aren’t afraid to ask the hard questions.
What You’ll Find Here
I write dystopian horror that flips familiar tropes on their heads. My debut novel explores a world where death isn’t the great equalizer—it’s the ultimate privilege. Where the undead don’t shamble through streets hunting brains, but sit in boardrooms deciding who gets to live, die, or exist somewhere in between.
If you’re drawn to stories that blend visceral horror with sharp social commentary, that examine power structures through the lens of survival, then you’ve come to the right place. Think The Walking Dead meets The Hunger Games, but with a twist that’ll make you question everything you thought you knew about zombie fiction.
Why I Write What I Write
Horror has always been a mirror held up to society’s darkest corners. The best dystopian fiction doesn’t just show us monsters—it shows us what we might become when pushed to our limits. When systems fail, when hierarchies crumble, when the rules we’ve built our lives around suddenly don’t apply anymore.
My stories ask uncomfortable questions: What if survival itself became a commodity? What if the very thing we fear most—death—became the tool of oppression? What happens when the cure becomes worse than the disease?
What’s Coming Next
I’ll be sharing behind-the-scenes glimpses into my writing process, exploring the themes that drive my work, and occasionally diving into the craft of building worlds that feel disturbingly plausible. You might find character studies, deleted scenes, or my thoughts on the horror and dystopian fiction that influences my work.
Most importantly, I want this to be a space for conversation. Horror and dystopian fiction work best when they spark discussion, when they make us examine our own world through the lens of these imagined disasters.
