Building Worlds and Breaking Rules: The Art of Speculative Storytelling

Fiction gives us the freedom to ask impossible questions. What if we could erase pain? What if memory is something that can be bought and sold? What if the mind can be hacked? These are some of the questions that inspire me and are, in fact, the genesis of my work.

Speculative fiction isn't a matter of forecasting the future, it's viewing the present through a distorted lens. By distorting the rules of storytelling, I can play with real-life issues, addiction, isolation, and control in ways that traditional fiction can't.;

I've always been attracted to those spaces between sanity and insanity, where science and soul meet, and where humanity is stretched to the breaking point. Creating these worlds provides me with the license to challenge my readers to think, to question, and to feel. And maybe, in the process, we both find meaning in the mess.

If you love fiction that blurs lines and makes you wonder about your own reality, then you're in the right place. Take a walk with more behind-the-scenes details regarding my writing process — and into the creepy, beautiful realm of Memory, Memory, Go Away.
