Dark fantasy, sci-fi fantasy, litRPG, and thriller fiction built around survival, injustice, transformation, power, and the cost of fighting back. From dragon-ruled empires to corporate-controlled dungeon worlds and psychological suspense, my stories follow characters forced to survive systems built to own, silence, or break them.
A dark epic fantasy series of slavery, rebellion, dragons, vengeance, and the brutal cost of freedom across the Wasted Dunes and beyond.

The Meridian Reach Saga
A progression sci-fi fantasy saga about survival, found family, dungeon worlds, corporate ownership, broken systems, and building refuge where the powerful finally can’t reach. Soft litRPG setting.
Marek’s Awakening, V. I
Marek Rynn was raised in broken stations, learning how to read failing walls, bad doors, unreliable air vents, and the powerful corporate systems that leave people behind. When cancer reaches his throat and ruins his voice, he accepts the one offer that looks like survival: a corporate medical program promising him a treatment he could never afford otherwise.
The promise is a trap. Inside a secured research facility, Marek discovers that patients are merely assets, treatment is just a byproduct of ownership, and every procedure brings him closer to becoming something Helix Corp can profit from. But the nanites they injected him with that were meant to control him are not behaving the way they should. A tool shifts. A latch trembles. People’s intentions are too easily read…
Escape is only the first fight. Beyond the blacksite waits a frontier of corporate recovery teams, ruined stations, black-market routes, and settlements stripped bare for profit. As Marek makes a hard-fought run toward freedom, unexpected allies join him on the way off world and away from the Helix Corp-controlled planet he never agreed to be on in the first place.
Redline, V. II
Marek Rynn made it off Greywash alive, but survival has not made him free. The nanites keeping his cancer at bay still carry the threat of potential ownership. His voice is still gone. His body is still a battleground between disease, biotech, and the strange liminal powers waking inside him. Redline should be nothing more than a failing habitat shell full of bad air, patched seals, desperate people, and systems one hard day away from collapse. Instead, it becomes the first place since his escape where hiding might turn into something more dangerous: shelter, healing, and loyal friends.
But shelter has a cost. Redline is crowded with refugees, debt-runners, black-market medics, broken workers, and people the Meridian Reach has already priced, filed, or thrown away. Keeping them alive means food, medicine, repairs, secrets, and choices Marek is not ready to make. As corporate pursuit tightens and old claims follow him, Marek must decide whether he is only trying to stay ahead of the people who owned him, or whether he and his group of friends can transform a decaying station into a haven.
Standalone Thrillers
Dark psychological suspense, buried damage, hidden motives, and reveals that shift the meaning of everything that came before.
Split Justice
In Briar County, justice has always known how to protect itself. Files vanish. Old rich men retire comfortably with curated reputations. Survivors learn that “insufficient evidence” can bury almost anything if the alleged perpetrator is of a certain caliber. Judge Eleanor Mercer has spent her career trying to serve the law anyway, even when the law leaves too much damage untouched and hidden in back rooms.
Then some of the men tied to an old county abuse scandal begin to die. Each death is careful, symbolic, and impossible to dismiss as random. As fear spreads and the public turns the killer into a vigilante legend, Eleanor finds herself drawn into a case that reaches toward St. Agnes House, a now-closed institution for girls surrounded by dark rumor and bleak history that the county would rather forget. But the closer Eleanor gets to the truth, the more her own control begins to fracture. Something inside her remembers what the record does not from all those years ago in St. Agnes, and the next verdict may destroy more than the guilty.
