Indie Writer, Artist, Fantasizer
Creativity can change the world.
I was raised in Northern Virginia and grew up enjoying the imaginative media, movies, TV, books, and comic books of the 80s and 90s. As a child I fantasized about creating my own worlds and characters and at age 14 started writing my own fiction on a small notepad. You can find a majority of my work on cyberwave.art.blog where I have over 200 self-published tales of the macabre, the mystical, and the futuristic.
I love writing about fantastic worlds, flawed heroes, relatable villains, strange monsters, futuristic tech, unexpected twists, unimaginable horrors, and unexplained mysteries. I’m always interested in new and experimental ways to tell unique sci-fi, fantasy, and horror fiction that make the audience question their own humanity and beliefs while focusing on optimism and kindness. My philosophy is: “Enjoy art. Live art. Create art.”
While I’m not writing I’m feeding my creativity with horror movies, sci-fi video games, and fantasy novels, including the works of George R. R. Martin, J. R. R. Tolkien, Clive Barker, Neal Stephenson, Octavia Butler, and the literary geniuses of Vonnegut, Shakespeare, and Poe.
Cyberwave.art.blog is a place where I can practice my craft and post concepts of the visions in my head. More projects coming soon!
