I penned my first long form story when I was only 10 years old. A decade later, I was convinced that the only way I would be happy is if I had a lucrative job and saved up enough to pursue my dreams of being a writer. Like many American youth, I found myself doing work that was a grind in order to pay for an education.
The mistake was thinking the fault was mine when I struggled to be happy. After another decade pushing myself to the breaking point repeatedly for the sake of jobs which did not suit me, I found myself at a crossroads.
The global pandemic has forced a lot of vulnerable people out of the work force, including yours truly.
Until now my presence on the internet consisted of a YouTube page where I enjoyed rambling about my journey of self-discovery and healing while playing my favorite video games. Since April 2020 I have been writing gaming news as my main source of income.
My success as a journalist has convinced me to finally put in the effort to make my stories of strange worlds and stranger people available to the public. The stories have been brewing for decades, and finally I have no excuse to ignore them.
My goal is to have the first epub/pdf version of the first book in my trilogy, The Death of the Sol Empire, available via my Patreon in 2021.
I invite you to come along for the journey.
Videos are posted to D.tube first, then appear on YouTube the following Friday.
