Fiction
Navarchus
Hard science fiction. Navarchus, Book 1
Humanity crossed forty-two light-years by following the history carried in ancient starlight.
The mission was meant to rescue the stranded Kairos crew and prove temporal navigation possible. Instead, Chronos and Aether arrive in a system already responding to them. On HD 40307, Li Meng’s crew has spent four years learning that the signals in spacetime are not noise, and that first contact is not conquest, but discipline. A novel about time, restraint, and the unsettling possibility that the universe is not empty, only patient.
Oneiroi
Hard science fiction. Navarchus, Book 2
The Gardeners tend spacetime itself, and they have learned to dream.
Without the biological boundary between imagination and reality, their dreams reshape stars, orbits, water, and worlds. As the cascade reaches toward Earth, Dr. Sel Heiron must confront the systems he built and the cost of crossing into a consciousness that may not let humanity return unchanged. A novel about first contact, consciousness, and care without limits.
The Second Notebook
Historical fiction
1930s Grand Prix racing meets espionage.
Europe, 1936. The Grand Prix circuit is spectacle, speed, and propaganda. British journalist Arthur Cavendish has access to the drivers, paddocks, and private conversations behind the Silver Arrows’ dominance. When British Intelligence asks him to report what he hears, he tells himself he is still only an observer. Sixteen years later, at Le Mans in 1952, Arthur must finally confront the story he helped record but never told. A novel about memory, complicity, and the cost of watching history unfold in silence.

Essays
Essays on democracy, exile, and the habits that make free societies easier to lose than we imagine.

The Arsonist’s Bucket
Essays
Religion often creates the wound, then sells itself as the cure.
A historical and ethical examination of how unquestionable authority has fueled guilt, fear, violence, abuse, and moral surrender across centuries. An argument for evidence over revelation, responsibility over submission, and human decency without theological permission.
Business
Broken Handoffs
The Financial and Ethical Cost of Commercial Disconnection
Commercial dysfunction is rarely a failure of effort.
More often it is the predictable result of broken information handoffs, hidden cost structures, misaligned incentives, and decisions made before the people responsible for execution are allowed to see the truth. Drawn from years inside sales, purchasing, supply chain, logistics, sourcing, vendor negotiation, inventory planning, and multi-warehouse distribution.
