Throwback to my first novel!

Here’s a throwback video about my first major writing project, the historical fiction novel that I wrote in high school called Until Death.

My interest in the medieval period came from reading Michael Crichton’s Timeline, one of my favorites of his. I always saw my book as a movie and I wrote it cinematically, with a strong influence from Gladiator (and probably some Redwall too).

Prior to Until Death, I’d only written short stories and comics, like Star Wars fanfic or a raunchy unauthorized biography of Wishbone the dog, and often in collaboration with my friend Andrew. So completing my first novel was an important step.

19 years later, my writing journey continues.

My debut novel Fireline is available on Amazon and Bookshop.org, and I’m working on the sequel.
