Welcome to my Newsletter
Thanks for being here.
I’m a writer of short stories — the kind that stare too long into the smoke, where men unravel, where violence leaves a shadow, and peace is more terrifying than war.
You won’t find “content” here. Just fiction — raw, spare, sometimes brutal, always human.
🖋️ What I Write
I publish one or two short stories a week, each between 1,000–1,500 words. Most stand alone. Some form loose cycles — recurring characters, moods, or ideas.
Themes I explore:
War & its aftermath
Masculinity & alienation
Fathers, sons, and the silences between
The private madnesses we hide beneath ordinary lives
Domestic unraveling
If you're new, here are a few places to start:
Serpent Mound– A son taking his father’s torch as warrior.
Unrelated– A man speaking on addiction.
Gregorian – The price a warrior pays for peace.
🧭 Why I’m Here
My goal is simple:
To be the most read and greatest writer of my generation.
I don’t say that with arrogance — I say it because ambition sharpens the blade. And because I believe stories still matter, especially in a world so eager to forget what people are capable of doing to each other, and to themselves.
💌 You can expect:
Two new short stories per week
Occasional reflections or behind-the-scenes notes
No fluff. No filler. Just fiction that cuts.
If that sounds like your kind of thing, stick around. Share the stories that move you. Reply to the ones that make you think.
Thanks for reading. Let’s build something unforgettable.
