Origins

Abenaki Origins

My journey began during the summer of 1969. It was not until speculative fiction began in forgotten archives and desolate landscapes. Each setting, each character, is meticulously researched, often requiring immersion into the very environments that inspire the narratives.

I believe in the tactile experience of creation, the weight of heavy paper, and the undercurrent of unease that permeates the best stories. This dedication shapes worlds that feel lived-in, raw, and uncompromising.

Manifesto

Uncompromising Worlds

In a world saturated with fleeting trends, I carve narratives that demand attention, not instant gratification. My commitment is to raw, slow-burn storytelling, rejecting commercial tropes for genuine literary depth. This is fiction for those who seek more than just an escape.

Independent publishing allows me the freedom to explore the darkest corners of imagination without compromise. It’s about building a direct connection with readers who appreciate the marginalia, the hidden details, and the undercurrent of truth in every tale.
