Writing

I am a fiction writer, whose focus is to delve into the realms of imagination by constructing alternate realities and painting vivid scenes through written word.

My focus is on American history, cultural development, ethnic identity, and nationalism. I am driven by the diversity and similitude of humanity, therefore I strive to entertain readers with my imaginative storytelling of humanity's paradox. In my world the extraordinary meets the familiar as I delve into the realms of imagination, crafting stories filled with unique characters, compelling plots, and thought-provoking themes that resonate with readers and transport them into a future world that alludes to the past.
