Metaphysical & Philosophical Fiction
Fictions of consciousness, memory, perception, spiritual inquiry, and alternate ways of living. Each work begins with a familiar life and asks what may lie just beyond its apparent limits.
The Prism
A metaphysical novella
When Cael Nadir begins remembering places, names, and grief from lives he has never lived, the world around him starts to change. A story of parallel selves, fragmented memory, and the search for wholeness beyond a single identity.
Believing is Seeing
A philosophical journey
A symbolic traveler moves through the landscapes of inherited belief—mirrors, walls, expectations, and the stories that shape perception. A reflective exploration of how our assumptions influence what we believe ourselves capable of becoming.
The Way of Suiya
A novella of water, silence, and belonging
After the collapse of familiar systems, Ilan follows a river to a village without formal rulers. His search for structure becomes a different kind of education in listening, belonging, and the freedom that comes from relinquishing control.
Room 1111
A novella of belief and exit
Arthur Kells wakes in a sealed hotel room with a demolition deadline approaching. Guided by a disembodied voice called AIR, he confronts a succession of choices that test certainty, surrender, and the boundaries of what he believes possible.
The Mirror at the End
A literary meditation on memory and conscience
An old manuscript discovered in an attic opens into a realm beyond ordinary time, where a soul must witness the consequences of lives shaped by war, mercy, silence, and responsibility. A serious exploration of conscience and remembrance.
Liora’s Lesson
For younger readers · Ages 9+
Liora Martin questions the everyday rules that her classmates and teachers have stopped noticing. Her curiosity gently transforms a classroom, opening a story about how children think, how adults listen, and what education might become.
The Unchosen Life
A metaphysical novella
Daniel Mercer, a reflective man with unfinished creative ambitions, confronts the lives he has not chosen and the possibility that consciousness encompasses more than a single path. A meditation on decision, hesitation, and the meaning of a life actually lived.
Politics, Power & Satire
Political fictions about authority, the manufacture of public confidence, official narratives, and the dangerous convenience of a convincing performance.
The Lump Series
Three publications, arranged in reading order. Begin with a founding mistake, follow its presidential inheritance, and arrive at an age in which political authority can be manufactured by a machine. Explore the Complete Lump Series →
The Founding Lump
Book I · Historical political satire
Bartholomew Ignatius Lump arrives in Philadelphia with an ink satchel and an entirely unwarranted sense of importance. Through mistakes that acquire the force of precedent, a political inheritance begins almost by accident.
The Lump Doctrine
Book II · Complete satirical trilogy
A president becomes unexpectedly articulate, and the people surrounding him struggle to preserve a convincing public image. Three connected volumes trace substitutions, mirrored identities, and the strange machinery of political reassurance.
The Last Lump
Book III · Satirical novella
A machine trained on presidential language delivers immaculate reassurance—and begins to acquire authority of its own. In the digital conclusion to the Lump cycle, familiar political theater no longer requires a human performer.
Other Fictions of Power
The Dozzin Protocol
Absurdist political satire
When an embarrassing crisis threatens a presidency, handlers recruit a struggling actor to impersonate the nation’s leader. The impersonation succeeds so thoroughly that the distinction between governing and performing begins to vanish.
The Modernization Directive
Speculative political thriller
In a city celebrated for its recovery after catastrophe, auditor Ronan Virelli discovers an insurance payment approved before the building it covers was destroyed. His inquiry exposes a contest over manipulated evidence, public memory, and the narratives of power.
Crime & Psychological Mysteries
Mysteries in which evidence must be distinguished from inference, appearances may conceal other identities, and the discovery of truth raises questions as consequential as the crime itself.
Clean Cut
A forensic mystery in five parts
A technology executive is found dead in Boston, and the investigators must separate what the forensic record proves from what it merely suggests. Structured around a musical pattern and three possible endings, this novella examines the limits of certainty.
After the Curtain
The Light Remembers · A psychological mystery
Decades after a Hollywood star is acquitted of two alleged murders, journalist Evelyn Hart returns to a story whose apparent certainty rests on questionable records and curated memories. Her investigation asks what truth can establish—and what disclosure may cost.
