Retrofying my photos and making them bring that old-school feel. Aiming to bring a nostalgic vibe that stirs something in all you 80s and 90s kids.

So, I wrote a book.
It was hard. It took 18 months of late nights, doubts, and rewrites—but I made it.

I never thought I’d call myself an author. I still hesitate to call myself a writer. But storyteller? That feels right.

To me, a writer is an artist. A wordsmith. Someone who paints with prose, crafting sentences that spark emotion or transport readers to distant worlds. I don’t claim to be that. But a combined effort has created a story I am proud of.

Reflective Existence is the first book in the Existence Series—a gritty cyberpunk story set in an alternate future where analogue tech collides with high-end machines. It asks deep questions about consciousness, identity, and the role of the human body.

This project wouldn’t exist without my wife and editor, Kate—my anchor through the whole process. Nor without the encouragement of my beta readers, friends, and the tools we now have at our fingertips.

We shaped this book to feel like something pulled off a dusty shelf in a secondhand bookstore. A forgotten relic from a 1980s future that could have come true. It’s a nod to the cyberpunk greats who inspired me.

Sci-fi might not be your thing, and that’s okay. But if you know someone who does love stories like this, I’d be incredibly grateful if you’d share the link below. I want this book to reach as many people as possible and build a community around this world.

Thanks for reading. I hope you enjoy the ride.
