Welcome to the Ruined Realms / A Doorway, Not a Destination

Yeah. I got myself a website.

A blog too. A newsletter is coming. I’m a little out of my depth and somehow… slightly poorer, but hopeful and feeling a bit more professional.

Right now it looks like there’s only one small thing here: a little fable on Amazon—my only published work. On the surface, it’s tiny. Like nothing.

But beneath it—behind the curtains—I’ve written a 160k novel I’m currently querying. I’m also releasing a Wattpad serial as a sandbox experiment inside the same universe (because apparently I don’t believe in calm hobbies). And I’ve already got most of the first draft of my second novel down, plus outlines and scenes for the books that come after that. There’s also a half-written codex of lore, divine origins, and the kind of worldbuilding that makes you stare into space mid-dishwashing like a possessed oracle.

So yes: it’s strange.

I’m “selling” one book, offering another in free increments, and quietly building an entire universe—the Ruined Realms—story by story, day by day, page by page.

This space is me building momentum. Building a home for all of it. And building a reader list that isn’t just numbers—it’s people who actually want to be here.

If you read this far: welcome.

If you want to walk with me while I bring these stories to life—sign up to the newsletter when it goes live, and stick around.

The door is open. Enter at your own risk.
