Before the Fire, Came the Theory

With Fire & Storm now burning bright on readers’ shelves, it’s time to pivot—to shift from heat and healing into something far stranger, colder, and more fractured.
On September 1st, my next novella, Pandora Theory, will release on Amazon.
Where Fire & Storm was a story about connection in the ruins, Pandora Theory is a descent into recursion, memory corruption, and the dangerous belief that knowledge can save us from ourselves.
This time, we follow Charles Asden—the man who will become Chaos. Before the firestorms. Before the Collapse. Before Gloria ever became “Glow.” Back when the Pandora Project was still a dream wrapped in theory, not the code-ruined echo it would become.
This novella isn’t just a backstory.It’s not an origin tale.It’s a warning—glitched, delayed, and already echoing backward.
You’ll see Asden's brilliance, yes—but also his unraveling. His guilt. The first recursive breach. The file no one was meant to open.
And maybe, just maybe…you’ll understand why he disappeared.
We’ve survived the storm. Now we follow the signal.
Pandora Theory arrives September 1st. Previews and corrupted files incoming. Stay tuned.
