The Dream Lived On

The Dream Lived On

I published my first novel, Revelations, in 2012.

Then life happened.

For more than ten years, I stepped away from publishing. I did not stop writing. The stories continued. The ideas expanded. Worlds, characters, machines, myths, and spiritual conflicts kept taking shape.

I thought about machines that dreamed. I wrote toward a future I could not yet see, until time converged into this moment.

In 2025, I returned to active publication with years of work behind me.

What looks like a sudden wave of books is not sudden at all. It grew during a long, quiet period when the work continued without an audience.

Those years became the foundation of the Hermit Series, the larger Hermit Mythos, and what I now call Mythotechnic Science Fiction.

The publishing stopped for a while.

The writing never did.
