About the author
Cade Meridian
13 books1 followerI write music and stories for the ones who can't speak for themselves. Cinematic soundscapes. Ordinary people facing impossible choices. Art that wakes people up. My debut project, The Weight of Petals, is a novel with an original soundtrack I composed for each chapter. Set in a near-future Las Vegas, it follows four children fleeing through a single night after their parents are taken by an authoritarian surveillance state. The humans operating the system make the choices. The machines, in this story, are the ones who refuse.
I'm drawn to the crossroads where compassion meets courage—a song about a soldier questioning orders, a mother crossing borders, four kids running through the neon dark with nothing but each other and the truth. I served as a combat medic specialized in rescue, then spent years investigating technology crimes. Those experiences taught me what people look like when everything is stripped away—and how easily systems built to protect become instruments of control. I carry those lessons into every story I tell.
Born in Hamburg, Germany, I immigrated to the United States and became a naturalized citizen. That journey shapes everything I write. I know what it means to belong and to be an outsider. Based in Las Vegas, Nevada. Still listening. Still writing. Still believing we can make this world a little better than we found it.
