  This short story explores the fall of Sero, a celestial griffin from the world of Arondor, as he transforms into a dragon. The loss of his inner flame causes his feathers to turn into scales, and his fire becomes a breath of cold destruction.

Projects Without Set Release Dates

Tera Panthera

An action-packed tale of anthropomorphic lion gladiators. In this world, wars are decided in the arena through gladiatorial combat between kings. The story follows Kion, the son of a defeated king, as he challenges this brutal tradition and fights to end the cycle of violence.

Blessed Child

This trilogy follows Abner, the red-haired ancestor of the Yahra'Haba people. Abandoned by his tribe due to superstition, he is raised by panthers and later called by Eloh to challenge his people's elders, offering them a chance to return to the truth.

Emulate

A sci-fi story set in a world with robot police and human-AI hybrid programs that promise immortality. The protagonist, Benjamin Carter, uncovers a dark secret at Imortex that forces him to question his morality.

Future Releases

• Confessions of a Time-Traveling Serial Killer: This story is slated for publication in the Badelynge Review (tentatively May 2025). I’ll release it on the blog after its debut in the magazine.

• Time-Travel Romance: Inspired by Vikings, this story follows William Norman, a descendant of Rolf of Normandy, who is accidentally transported to the Viking Age. With awkward charm, he helps Rolf navigate courtship and politics, ensuring history stays on course.

My Epic Fantasy Series

The cornerstone of my writing, this epic fantasy series, is still years away (expect the first book in about five years). The story centers on Ari Griff Yahra'Aslan Cameron, a young man born of a political marriage, who must navigate the conflicting loyalties of his dual heritage and lead his people against the oppressive Septuni Imperium.

Side Projects

• Cult Hunter: A thrilling series about a government agent who infiltrates and takes down dangerous cults.
• Action with Heart: I enjoy writing stories full of action and violence. While the characters may not seem "Christ-like" on the surface, the underlying messages are deeply biblical and explore themes of redemption, justice, and morality.

Writing Tips & Inspirations

I draw inspiration from many sources, including writers like George R.R. Martin (for character depth), Brandon Sanderson for worldbuilding and story depth, Ted Dekker for a modern Christian perspective, who balances story with the message, and video essays on writing craft. Some YouTube channels I recommend for aspiring writers are:

• Hello Future Me (worldbuilding)
• Just Write (Storytelling)
• Brandon McNulty (Storytelling)
• Lessons from the Screenplay (Storytelling)
• Abbie Emmons (Storytelling)
• Jenna Moreci (Storytelling)

Keep going keep reading, keep writing, keep it up!
