This cat is Aegelis, a Christian author and biochemist who invites you to encounter excitement and wonder within books and beyond. Passionate about themes such as purpose, faith, and redemption, Aegelis provides the intensity of Edgar Allan Poe's tales along with poetic introspection inspired by Emily Dickinson.

Outside the writing desk (and the lab), Aegelis enjoys date nights with his wife, online and retro gaming, wushu, theatre, movies, comics, antique postcard collecting, Indian food, and the social connection of yard sales. You'll likely find him driving or dancing (or both) to Techno, Rock, Trip-Hop, Alternative, and World music.
