Born in Buffalo and rooted in Columbus since ’99, I’m writing From Odyssey³: Requivation, a progression-first saga that uses LitRPG elements only when they count. I like systems that bend without breaking, and people who do the same. Expect humor that does not undercut pain, real momentum with real companions, flashes of cosmic horror, and big politics that still hit at street level. My work carries an Afro-American throughline: resilience, community, loyalty, and the cost of control.
