My long fiction is anchored in World Beyond the Song, a novel in progress shaped by longing for belonging and the fragile work of communication. The story moves through speculative terrain, but its questions are intimate: how do we reach one another across difference, distance, and silence?
Beyond this novel lies a broader imaginative architecture—currently gathered under the working title The Threaded Deep. This larger cosmology explores perception, memory, and the structures that bind disparate worlds into relation. Individual narratives unfold within it, each grounded in human consequence.
World Beyond the Song
World Beyond the Song blends mystery and intimacy: the suspense of a silenced signal in deep space, and the ache of one woman’s grief as she learns to trust what she hears—and who she loves—again. The story moves through conspiracies and betrayals, but also through the fragile beauty of connection, whether whispered across a room or pulsing through the stars.
The manuscript is in its early stages, with several chapters drafted and a long arc unfolding. The novel opens into a larger speculative architecture—new worlds, new species, and the return of an ancient thread of relation—shaped by a central conviction: language is not ornament, but survival. Connection is not incidental. It is the path.
