About the author

I am a fiction writer who blends the grounding reality of journalism with the optimistic possibilities of Solarpunk. After two decades in the fast-paced world of digital publishing, I am now turning my attention to a quieter, greener future.

My current work focuses on “Orbital Greenhouse Mysteries”—stories where high-tech sustainability meets classic whodunits.

I live in Canada, where I navigate the cold winters by dreaming of warm, sun-drenched space stations.
