“Sapha is like a young Wolfgang Pauli, in every laboratory he went, there was a little explosion.”
— David Roomy

Cyberpunk + Mythpunk converge in my emotive works dubbed ‘a breathtakingly beautiful discovery’ (Kevin Hogan on Usurper Kings) and ‘an insane diabolical rollercoaster’ (RL Arenz III on NEON Lieben) and had one reviewer say they "didn't know a work of science fiction could be so beautiful". A true -punk, I teethed on images of the Berlin Wall falling down, challenge norms like bricks under sledgehammers and intertwine queerness and faith to envision a world on the brink of dystopia we can usurp and heal.

Steeped in divergent cultures, I spent years in humanitarian work, before dedicating my life to writing, editing and publishing. A member of The Writers Union of Canada, I lead weekly writing and critique streams on Twitch and across social media as usurperkings.

My two main writing series are the cyberpunk Lieben Cycle, with #1 book NEON Lieben and the god/mythpunk series Judge of Mystics Saga, starting off with Char & Ash and Son of Abel.
