About Me

My life has always been defined by the struggles I’ve faced. At a young age, when my parents divorced, I was thrust into a world filled with emotional turmoil and confusion. My mother remarried a man who was not only distant but physically abusive. I lived with this stepfather for many years, and the physical and emotional pain left an indelible mark on my psyche. I learned early on that survival was not just about escaping harm but about learning how to protect myself—and those I cared about—from further emotional wounds. This kind of adversity, this struggle to find peace amidst chaos, became a thread woven through the stories I would later write.

When I was 18, my mother passed away in a car accident. The trauma was devastating. It sent me into a downward spiral, questioning my purpose and the meaning of life itself. In my grief, I sought escape, joining the military, not with the intention to serve but to drown out the pain and confusion. It was during this time that I realized that true survival didn’t come from avoiding hardship, but from confronting it head-on, using it to transform myself into something stronger.

These experiences of pain, loss, and the search for meaning are what shape my writing as a fiction author. In Souls of the Forgotten, I explore these themes through the eyes of a population scientist who uncovers a horrifying anomaly: soon, the dead will outnumber the living. This discovery opens a gateway between life and death, threatening not just human existence, but the very fabric of reality itself. The story, like my own life, revolves around the unsettling truths we must confront about our place in the world and the emotional struggles that arise when faced with our mortality.

Similarly, in Grief Warriors, I delve deep into the emotional turmoil of grief. The protagonist, much like myself, faces an immense loss—watching his wife fight terminal cancer. The journey through despair, loneliness, and acceptance is portrayed through surreal, anime-inspired dream sequences that represent the protagonist’s inner battles. Much like the experiences of my youth, this story is about learning to face the emotional chaos within and finding a way to survive, not just physically, but emotionally. It’s about the internal wars we fight that shape who we become in the face of loss.

In Holographic Realities, the exploration of self takes a more abstract turn, as the lead protagonist accidentally opens a portal to a higher dimension. He discovers that reality is a holographic projection, and humanity may have been created by beings from a world beyond comprehension. This story draws on my fascination with the unknown—the things in life we can never fully understand—and how our search for meaning often leads us to deeper truths that can change everything we thought we knew. It’s a reflection of my own journey toward understanding that our existence, much like the universe itself, is far more complex and interconnected than we can ever imagine.

The struggles I’ve endured have given me the tools to write about the complexities of human emotion and the ways in which we grow through adversity. These themes of emotional survival, growth, and self-discovery are at the heart of everything I write. Just as I faced the battle of overcoming loss, grief, and personal turmoil, my characters embark on similar journeys, discovering new dimensions of themselves and the world around them. Through each story, I aim to explore the deep emotional truths that connect us all, even in the face of impossible odds. It is through struggle that we truly learn who we are, and it is through growth that we begin to understand the complexities of human nature.

Each of my stories is a reflection of the emotional battles we all face—stories that strive to make sense of the confusion, loss, and growth that define the human experience. And as I continue to write, I hope that these stories not only entertain, but also offer a way for others to see their own struggles in a new light, and to find a path to personal growth and understanding amidst the chaos of life.
