A few years ago, during those strange, suspended days of lockdown, I found myself with something I hadn't had in ages: uninterrupted time to write. That's when I began writing the story A Mere State. There was something magical about those writing sessions—just me and my thoughts.
Today, I'm holding something that once existed only in my imagination: physical copies of Finitude and Beyond.
This collection of short stories represents years of crafting narratives, endless rewrites, late-night editing sessions, and the peculiar alchemy of transforming thoughts into words, words into stories, and stories into something you can actually hold in your hands.
The launch date—June 23rd, 2025—is racing toward me faster than I expected. You can pre-order your copy now and be among the first to explore these stories when they officially release. In the meantime, I've shared a couple of stories from the collection here on Substack for free. You can find them in the short fiction section of Recursive Ink.
Thank you for being part of this journey with me. Whether you've been following across the internet since the early days or just discovered my work, your support means everything to an indie author trying to share stories with the world.
