Author has written 11 stories for Avatar: Last Airbender, Evangelion, Mass Effect, Hazbin Hotel, and Helluva Boss.

Muse is transient. Discipline endures. Rage is a gift.

I do not write based on commission or by request.


Current Project:

Song of Ruin: The Demiurge has revealed himself, and declared a vendetta against God. Hell is in turmoil as Lucifer -- now with a mere imp as his Proxy -- is surely planning a new war against Heaven, to reclaim the throne he calls his own. And those who are stuck on the battlefield have to find a way to survive. This is not a story of glorious war. This is a story of how good men die when the status quo refuses to change.

Helldiver: A disgraced, fugitive ex-police officer was given an offer she couldn't refuse; work for a shape-shifting crime against reality to help fight against other, bigger crimes against reality. And all because she had sex with demons that one time after somebody tried to kill her... At least she still has her goddamned cat.

Potential Future Projects:

Learned Helplessness:

A Three Lobed Heart:

The Somewhat True Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai in the 31st Century: It is August of 3067. The once legendary Hong Kong Cavaliers, formed by the equally legendary Anthony Buchanan Banzai a half-century before, is in disarray. The only remaining founding member, an ancient Logan Kell (no relation) sits for an interview about the life and times of one of the most talked-about and barely understood Merc units of the late 3rd Succession War and beyond. It's a pity that the interview makes so little goddamned sense. Why was Banzai so obsessed with Crabs? What happened to 'Perfect' Tommy Lister? And what did Comstar do to piss Banzai off so much in 3015?

Final Galaxy: The twin worlds of Spira and Gaia form the heart of humanity's presence in the Milky Way galaxy, their homes deep in Terminus Space. To preserve their race against their dying homeworlds, they press out and into conflict with the civil-war-wrapped quarians, the warlords on the outside of Citadel Council Space, and the other aliens that fill the galaxy. And there are other, older things that are waiting out there, that have already fought humanity before, and have yet to be truly defeated. A crossover imagining what would happen if the setting of Mass Effect were being used to tell a Final Fantasy story.
