I am
! Check out my profile to see my publications, my notes, and other such.

“What do you write?”
If you are visiting Gibberish between February and June, it’s Sandbox Earth Season! Visit the Sandbox Earth section HERE. Sandbox Earth is my science fiction universe. Sandbox Earth is a setting that covers centuries of human civilization, and humanity’s asymmetrical rise to the stars after the serendipitous acquisition of alien technology. Sandbox Earth is inspired by the likes of Asimov, Bradbury, Clarke, and Heinlein, and explores human stories against a backdrop of advancing technology and interstellar politics.
If you are visiting Gibberish between July and November, it’s Blackpage Season! Visit The Blackpage section HERE. The Blackpage is my fantasy universe, it is a setting that covers a land known as Daranna populated by Elves, Faeries, Humans, and especially the magical order of Authors who write world-books you can physically enter and explore. The Blackpage is inspired by the likes of Myst and Riven, with other classic fantasy elements sprinkled in and explored in experimental new ways. The Blackpage explores themes of creativity, self understanding, fallenness, and redemption.
If you are visiting Gibberish between December and January1, I’m taking a break! Every year I take time off in December and January to recharge my batteries, but you can explore my archive of stories, and all those stories that aren’t a part of Sandbox Earth or Blackpage in my section called The Exo-Canon which you can visit HERE. These include all my writing of various genres which are ‘non-canonical’ in my two other headline series.
