Strands of Existence — The Series

Quite some time ago, I had a character name haunting my thoughts. It didn't seem to fit in any story I had going on. But it had such a strong pull that I stopped writing all other stories and started to focus on the name "Istrae". Soon, a very long story started to take shape in my mind. And I met other characters from her world. This story just felt right to me, it felt like it was the one I needed to tell. The one I needed to take a chance on no matter how scared I was about getting my work out there without a proper publisher.

The first two books of the series are out. The books are only available on Amazon for now. I may branch out to make more formats available later on.

Right now, it would seem there will be around 4 books in the series. I'm currently writing the 3rd installment. If you have any questions about the books or their progress, you can ask them here in the comments or leave me a question on my Goodread's page.


Also, SoE 1 got this lovely 5-star sticker from Reader's Favorite.

I dread making phone calls, I hate giving speeches and presentations (though I’m actually quite good at such things). It just goes against the very fiber of my being and drains me. Writing energizes me. It makes me feel alive in my own little nook. I get to traverse very different worlds and see so many wonderful sights. I get to explore. It’s a strange thing to want to experience life. I want to travel and have all sorts of foods, drinks and soak up different influences… but while I love all of it, I can travel to far more rare places within. As a child, I had no trouble imagining a dragon landing in our yard. And in my eyes, it was as real as anything there. If you could have ta

Music for writing

I couldn't imagine writing without music. It helps to surround me with a barrier to keep our world and its mundane worries out and to transport me to other worlds. I rarely listen to purely instrumental music, but writing sessions are the exception (not always). I like music from all sorts of genres and from all over the world but not many of my favorite bands or singers make it to my writing music lists. Normally, depending on my mood, I listen to things like Tom Waits, StrayKids, DPR Ian, Dimash, Moloko, Blondie, Sister's of Mercy, Nick Cave (and most rock 'n roll songs from the 60's, rock songs from the 70's, metal from the 80's and 90's, and many of the poppier song from that era too, oh, and musicals and classical music and Bollywood songs. Yeah..., it would likely be hard to find a type of music I didn't at least find one band or song I liked...). Back to writing music. It needs to have a certain touch of magic and melancholy, a yearning for someth
