You’ve heard me say you cannot fail at art.

The reason is crucial, creative: the word “failure” implies a permanent halt, the end of operations.

You can always try again. That is why you can’t fail at art—and why you need to absorb this truth to find your freedom from that word.

No, you can't fail at art. Yes, I will die on this hill. Here's why.

The world? Ending.

The escape? Magic portals.

The cost? EVERYTHING.

Hello, friends! I'm an indie author, published since 2011. My genre is sci-fi and fantasy, but that's not all I write.

In 2020, I had two small strokes that stole my words. The journey back from that to being able to write led to my non-fiction book about getting out of block through science and psychology.

I'm looking forward to meeting folks and getting to know your books! Especially now, it's important that we get to know our communities and stay in contact.

In an age of rapid social, political, environmental & technological change, the humanities are among the few tools we possess for distinguishing what is genuinely unprecedented from what we have forgotten. And they remain our most reliable compass for navigating the future.

The @EUCommission just released a statement positioning open source as central to #Europe’s #TechSovereignty.

We couldn’t agree more. #OpenSource is critical to a robust and independent society.
