I work as a senior project manager for eCommerce and have worked from home for about seven years. I work in various other industries as well. Some of my creative hobbies include 3D printing and hand painting figures that you can view on www.instagram.com/digi_swap, creating board game prototypes from video game ideas I had when working on my graduate degree, and painting. I enjoy hiking, bouldering, indoor rock climbing, and road trips to new places.

I also have a plan for a sci-fi novel titled The Welcome.

They came to build a future.

On the frozen surface of Titan, a small crew of specialists is tasked with shaping the impossible, terraforming a distant world for the next generation of humanity. The mission is ambitious, isolated, beautiful, and something is deeply wrong.

Communication begins to falter. Strange behavior spreads quietly through the team. What once felt like scientific wonder now feels like watching eyes behind the glass. Warm smiles turn cold. Familiar voices sound slightly… off.

The further they go, the more the atmosphere shifts, not just outside, but between them, and whatever is out there doesn’t need violence to win. Just time.

Unfinished is my current novel I am working on.

Katelyn thought she had it all figured out, successful career, a beachside home, and a marriage built on comfort and routine, but behind the calm exterior is a woman slowly disappearing, starved for affection and burdened by years of silence, guilt, and emotional neglect.

When the truth shatters what’s left of her marriage, Katelyn steps into a brutal new chapter: one filled with dating app failures, unhealed wounds, and the nagging question of whether she’s still worthy of love.

Unfinished is a raw, emotionally charged story about rediscovering desire, rebuilding self-worth, and finding real connection after years of being invisible. It’s not just a second-chance romance, it’s a survival story with heart, heat, and honesty.

John isn’t angry. He’s tired. Underpaid, overlooked, and sick of pretending the world isn’t grinding him into powder. He’s just an average mechanic with busted knuckles, a permanent frown, and a habit of skipping the tip at the local diner.

What starts as a sudden, savage outburst at a diner becomes something darker. John discovers the part of himself that was always waiting beneath the surface, the part that doesn’t apologize. The part that says what every quiet man has wanted to scream after a thousand little humiliations.

Now, blood on his hands and no plan in place, John becomes a wandering symbol of something unspoken: a working-class rage too long ignored.

Average Joe is a psychological descent soaked in blue-collar grit and existential fury, a disturbing portrait of what happens when society stops seeing you… and you finally stop caring.
