Author bio

I'm a sci-fi author and short story writer. I enjoy telling stories that blend the tropes of sci-fi (e.g., aliens, conspiracy theories, A.I. takeovers, etc.) with realism, and evoking in-depth thoughts and discussions about life's "what if...?" questions. You can find my written works on Amazon, Medium, and here on Reedsy. If you're looking for an experienced ghostwriter who will produce quality work for a fair price, look me up on Fiverr.
