Friends and family,
After nearly 12 years building the world of History Emergent—drafting screenplays, retooling characters, and rewriting every chapter and line until it felt right—my debut novel History Emergent: Janus and the Identity Crisis is finally live.
I believe in this story. It’s bold, immersive, and meaningful—and it’s the first in a series I’ve poured my whole self into. While rooted in sci-fi, it draws from fantasy, adventure, history, romance, my own life, and the very real future we’re building toward. It’s for people who love good stories and those who hunger for more than dystopia.
This book carries a mission. In a time of deep polarization and algorithmic manipulation, it asks what happens when the future becomes programmable—and how we protect identity, agency, and meaning when our actions are logged from every angle and our perceptions are up for revision. It was written to inspire hope. I’m not talking about naïve optimism, I’m talking about the courage to believe that we can still shape the future, not just survive it.
If you believe in this ideal, please consider supporting my book by purchasing the Kindle e-book or paperback.
No one reaches success alone. I know I can’t and I’ve risked an enormous amount of time, energy, and resources on this endeavor. To give this book a fighting chance at wider visibility, I need the help of my network—you. That’s right, you are my only hope.
Amazon’s algorithms prioritize sales momentum. That means timing matters—a lot.
If I can generate 30+ pre-orders or sales within distinct 24-hour windows, it makes a far greater impact than 30 spread over a week.
So if you plan to buy the book, the time to do it is now. Today or tomorrow.
If 20% of you receiving this email order a Kindle or paperback copy today, it could break into the top 50 in my categories. If another 20% order tomorrow, maybe the book breaks into the top 20.
If every one who buys gets just one friend to do the same, I have a real shot at making the top 10. Ultimately that is what is needed to have a hope of making this endeavor financially viable. To be frank, to achieve that goal and have a shot at leveraging this path into the career I now need it to be, I have to sell at least 30,000 books. These days success requires virality. It’s David V Goliath.

No matter what happens, despite the risks, this pursuit has been worth it to me. It is the one thing that if I didn’t do I would regret. I’ve developed new skills, made new friends, faced my demons, and fulfilled a tremendous goal.
There is nothing I want more than for the people in my network to succeed in their ambitions. If you’re like me, feel aligned with my intentions, are interested in supporting my ambitions, or just want to help an independent artist launch something real into the world—this is the moment.
Thanks for being in my corner and helping this thing achieve escape velocity.
With gratitude,
