Will Lark is losing his mind. He’s obsessed with a door on a roof, thinks he’s being followed, thinks the moon might fall out the sky. His dreams have been menacing and arguably prophetic. He’s not sure what’s real these days.
He’s freaked out about life, sure. Who isn’t? He’s been wondering about his parents again, yes. But all that’s relatively normal, and he’s increasingly unsure whether it accounts for his neuroses. Then he falls into a mystery that truly threatens his sanity.
Lucid is about light and dark and the connection between all things. It’s about the pain that comes with severing that connection. It’s about consciousness and time and how they are fluid. It’s a love story and a war story. It’s a harrowing, physical, psycho-spiritual, interplanetary drama.
Lucid is the first book in the Sine series. Sine was conceived during what I consider to have been my quarter-life crisis. Sine is an adventure steeped in strange physics, psychology, and spirituality influenced by life experiences, music, and many books, including the work of Carl Jung. Who are we, and why are these worlds connected?

The Butterfly and the Squid: Sine Book II
(coming 11/11/25)
It is the time of Placement in the underworld of Gog, and Grugreera and all the second ring Primes wait to find out how they will spend the rest of their lives. Grugreera receives the role he's wanted his entire life: digger. But his faith in MaGog and the system is tested when he learns the lie that their society was built upon, and which is bound to determine their future.
A plan is forming in Dawlis’s mind of its own volition. It is unfolding in real time. He must go, he knows, to the source of his Shadow. MaGog, they are human too. They are scared too.
The Butterfly and the Squid, the second installment of the Sine series, is a novel about choice, equality, oppression, and the nature of consciousness. It explores frontiers of space and frontiers of our inner worlds. Who are we, and why are these worlds connected?

Below are some snippets from the cutting room floor of Lucid. The prose is a bit different from the final, but they will give you the beat of Lucid’s heart and the frequencies of its soul without revealing any secrets.
