I work as a material scientist in research and development and my passion is writing. I enjoy working to build narratives and explore new ideas. My day job involves discovering and helping people understand real life systems, and in writing I love using that same fascination with systems and the way the world works to build my own worlds. I enjoy drawing and painting both with traditional mediums and digital. I am drawn to expansive worlds and complex magic systems with engaging characters.

Escape from Hell
High Commander Rin Tallow rules with iron and steel. In the midst of a campaign to exterminate satyrs from her lands, a small band of rebels infiltrate her camp and assassinate her. The instant before the assassination succedes time stops and Rin is taken.
Rin wakes up in the far future, taken by time travelers to pay for the atrocities she has committed. She is sentenced to Hell, a forced labor prison designed to punish the most evil people throughout history. Confronted by the knowledge that history remembered her as a villain, Rin begins to question her actions and, if she accepts the judgement of the future historians, is horrified by the implications. She realizes she must escape before she is broken by the punishment of Hell and the condemnation of her past, but escape isn't easy, and in the process she learns dark secrets about Hell and it's hidden true purpose.
