Wind Wielder is literary fiction disguised as a brewing military science fantasy, and it takes a flamethrower to American foreign policy narratives. I first wrote Wind Wielder during the COVID pandemic in June 2020. So much of it did double duty. It hit on how governments and corporations collude to create narratives that trickle down through the…
The Finnish language boasts a Disney-like, fairytale vibe that made it the perfect inspiration for the magic language in my work. If a Finn read my work, they might laugh at it. Not because they wouldn’t like my books, but because they’d probably say, “Man, this is a poor attempt to emulate our language.” In…
The Renegades Epic preaches and practices anarcho-capitalist, libertarian ideology. But not every series is so in your face. Don’t like fiction that wears ideology on its sleeve? Don’t worry, not every book I’ve written has that. The Renegades Epic shared universe has genre-conforming fiction, and it’s got work with ideological backbone. Since I’m such a nice guy,…
The Renegades Epic is a shared universe fusing fantasy, science fiction, dystopian, and military elements. And their plots are complex as hell. Like shared universes with plots that are so complex they’ll play with your mind even when you ain’t reading? I got good news: you stumbled across the right author and the right series of…
My grimdark science fantasy was supposed to suck. Even if my newer books read better, Civil War’s gone down as a personal favorite. This book is gonna be the fan favorite. I can feel it. Its subject matter is disgusting, and you’d think those first few chapters are torture porn. You got a twenty-year-old East…
One emo-goth girl I briefly knew from my droning days of public school had a lasting legacy as she inspired Kaija Jokiharju and Tarja Titan. It’s funny how useful public school can be at times, even if the place itself is hell on earth. The truth is, many of my motivations for fiction stemmed from…
My work is full of strong female protagonists, except for the cliched “boss girl.” If that’s what you’re here for, then clear out. There’s an empire called Amazon that’s designed to shape minds using an algorithm and will cater to your needs if you want a boss girl. Which, quite frankly, Yours Truly finds unattractive…
My work is a hailstorm of strong female protagonists. But not the annoying “boss girl” type. My girls shine a positive light on feminism. Every female protagonist in my work wants a guy to settle down with. By modern literary standards, it’s a crime against women. Hell, that’s often the case in modern-day HR offices….
The Renegades Epic is theme-based fiction first, and genre fiction second. That might piss off a few readers, but it’s a niche that needed covered. I’ll be upfront: You’re getting a dose of libertarian-heavy themes. If you’re the type of reader who believes in maximum liberty with a minimal state, this shared universe will be…
The Renegades Epic is built like the MCU — six series, six tones, countless crossovers — but each one stands on its own feet. A shared universe means you’re going to see characters cross over from one series to another in varying frequencies. But you’ll also find mentions of other worlds in that universe, their…
The original Elementals of Nordica concept still explored fantasy, sci-fi, and military concepts, but it was a dark fight for survival and nothing more. Morbid. That’s the best way to describe the original Elementals of Nordica concept. Take a completely politically-incorrect novel and inject grimdark fantasy into its elements. That’s what I was gunning for. Name the offensive language…
The Renegades Epic was supposed to be a hell of a lot simpler than what it ultimately evolved into. But it evolved for the better. I can argue that the Renegades Epic can trace its roots to 2014, when I was just 23. That year, a character named Brock Patrick walked into my mind. Brock was a…
