Literary speculative fiction, literary fiction, and dark fantasy.
The City Without Noise
In a city where peace has been perfected through benevolent surveillance and emotional regulation, rebellion no longer looks like violence. It looks like silence. When a notorious dissenter is absorbed into the very system she opposes, she must decide whether destroying a compassionate regime is worth the human cost, or whether becoming its quiet sacrifice is the only way to preserve the memory of freedom.
The Condition
Told through letters, silences, and interior observation, The Condition follows two women whose correspondence becomes a shared language of recognition within social systems that reward female compliance. When marriage is offered not as romance but as relief, refusal takes the form of precision rather than rebellion. The cost of choosing oneself unfolds quietly and irrevocably.
Ladybird Jenkins: The Quiet Has Changed
After centuries of existence, a woman who helped humanity escape death abandons immortality to live quietly in pre war France. When a fracture threatens the immortal system she helped build, she must decide whether returning to service will erase the fragile, embodied self she has reclaimed. Told through journals and recovered documents, this novella meditates on progress, exhaustion, and the ethics of survival without meaning.
The Day the Carnival Came
When a mysterious carnival arrives overnight, a young girl discovers that wonder is powered by attention and that children are its currency. As applause becomes a mechanism of harm, she must decide whether saving individuals is worth participating in a system that turns compassion into spectacle. This is a dark, lyrical allegory about complicity and the quiet power of refusal.
Middle Grade / All Ages
Written for younger readers with serious themes and high intelligence.
Ladybird Jenkins and the Time Thieves
At the Indovian Academy, history is not taught, it is protected. When a group known as the Time Thieves begins erasing names, dates, and memories from the world’s historical record, a team of students must defend the Codex Vault that holds reality together. Guided by the formidable Ladybird Jenkins, they discover that truth is not something to guard in silence, but something that must be understood, questioned, and shared.
