In my free time I like to write outside of the realm of peer-review. I write short stories and science fiction novels. They are self-published on Amazon.

These stories are quick to read and leave a lot to the imagination.
Humans ended up in a complicated love affair with their technology, so much so that they gave them something sacred. Each Genesis unit was given a living, beating, bleeding human heart. The only possible eventuality was total war.
The Great Sorrow ended in a catastrophic loss of human life and tore open a gaping rift between man and machine. The Genesis units seek forgiveness because they think in it they will find their salvation - but humans have little to give in the aftermath of near extinction.
Both humans and androids are left lost amongst each other, seeking to find themselves in a new natural order. They each have their wounds and they each have their story - but the androids have only one collective soul. Can they come to terms with their past, and design a future worth living for all?

Space is a very deadly place, a vacuum filled with colossal distances, impenetrable darkness and blazing balls of fire. Humans have spread so far throughout the four quadrants that they have lost touch with their origins.
Matter generators have given humanity the gift of creation but they have failed to realize its’ true power. People use the technology without understanding where it came from, or how it works.
Clandestine entities from the boundless zone smuggle the required materials into the quadrants through a small but elite group of liaisons. A contract lasting generations keeps the arrangement intact. A handful of people know where to meet these aliens to acquire the mysterious substance but no one knows where they get it or why they require payment in human slaves…
When I am not working or writing, you can find me training at my local gym. I have been training and competing in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu since 2015.
I was awarded my blue belt!
After some well-intentioned hazing…
