Rune-Written Resistance is now The Rogue Scribe, a name that makes my unapologetic literary takes stick a stake into mainstream narratives. When I came up with the name Rune-Written Resistance, I wanted something that would emulate my fiction and hint at what it’s about. But I feel the name’s too abstract, and that it has…
One burning question enticed me to write a Harry Potter-inspired novel in record time. What if Lord Voldemort just adopted Harry? I’d fast-forward to Sep. 1, 2026, but I’ll refrain from pushing the button. I’ve never completed the first draft of a manuscript while planning to release the finished product 26 months later.

I’ve always tried and failed to write commercial genre fiction. But you know what? That’s perfectly fine by me if my target readers love my work. Every time I’d go to write a new book, I’d say, “This one’s gonna appease the masses.” Until it didn’t. Why? I had to inject genre fusion, nontraditional tropes,…

We’re no longer waiting for transhumanism. It’s already here and, for many, it’ll be here to stay. Not with metallic limbs, glowing eyes, or a…
Some dreams fade the moment you wake. Others demand you write them down. This one haunted me, and it might haunt you too. if you care about the West. Each time it starts the same: I’m walking through a property that once thrived. I can feel it in the bones of the place, from the…
