aspiring novelist. currently writing post-apocalyptic romantic dystopian trilogy FALL OF MEN.

Novelists: what is your favorite part of your story? Mine is after the midpoint, where we really get to feel the threat of the baddies. The character arcs are established, the set-up is complete — now we get the payoff of the stakes that have been built. The plot then races forward deliciously.

JESSICA JONES × ARCANE Rats & rebels of Manhattan’s ruins call her SCARella: a vigilante whose trauma-made-visible glyphs link to her sentient flaming machete. She rescues trafficked girls from a grief-harvesting regime. If she doesn’t heal, she becomes their weapon. 🔥🐀 #QuestPit #Q #A #DF

Four-panel graphic for SCARella: The Machete Marauderess, a 94,000-word adult feminist noir fantasy with myth-tech elements. Includes a visual of two hands reaching toward a glowing butterfly with glyph markings, a pitch about a trafficking survivor turned vigilante in post-Collapse Manhattan, themes of healing and found family, and comps including Jessica Jones, Godkiller, and Wayward Children.

28 YEARS LATER x THE POSTMAN x STAR TREK: FIRST CONTACT The demon apocalypse is over. The world is divided between the wastelands and the wonderlands. As humanity struggles to rise again one question remains. Who will inherit the earth? #QuestPit #A #SF #WIP

A mood board for THE ATLAS OF HUMAN STRUGGLE features images including:
A horde of rats,
A young red-haired girl in coveralls,
A wall of zombies,
An old man on a farm,
A Black man in military uniform,
A glowing white cube,
Bodies in a mass grave,
a locomotive blowing coal smoke,
a futuristic dome in the arctic,
a red hat that says "The New South Rises".
A man in the nation's capital holding a confederate flag.
