What’s Next

Welcome to the creative engine room — where stories are still breathing, growing, and sharpening their teeth. This is where you’ll find everything I’m working on now, what’s complete and waiting for release, and a few raw glimpses into the stories that refuse to stay quiet.

The Maccabees

When a young warrior-priest uncovers the ancient power of the Ark of the Covenant, he must rise against a tyrant king obsessed with surpassing Alexander the Great—even if it means plunging the world into chaos.
Why it matters:
This story reimagines history through a lens of resistance, faith, and advanced ancient technology, inspired by Black and Middle Eastern lore. Think Gladiator meets Dune.
