A Novel Is Coming Here in Weekly Episodes

Starting April 2026

For the past few years, I’ve been quietly working on a science-fantasy novel called The Viridis Survival Guide.

Here’s the premise:

To save her dying brother, people-pleasing Ava agrees to work inside a virtual world that activates while she sleeps. But when she’s trapped inside a brutal academy designed to break its recruits, pleasing the wrong person could cost her any chance of waking up.

Instead of pursuing traditional publishing right away, I’ve decided to share the story the way many novels once appeared: as a serialized narrative, released one chapter at a time.

Beginning in late April, I’ll be publishing the novel here in weekly installments. Each chapter continues the story from the previous one, so readers can follow along as the world, and the dangers within it, unfold.

If you subscribe, each new chapter will arrive directly in your inbox.

Between now and the launch, I’ll be sharing a few glimpses of the story’s world: introductions to the characters, small previews, and occasional notes from the writing process.

If you enjoy discovering a story as it grows, I’d be glad to have you along for the journey.

You can subscribe below to follow the series from the beginning.

And when the first chapter arrives, you’ll be able to start reading here:

Thank you for being an early reader and following me as I begin this journey.
