Birthday Reflections and Signal Distortions

Today’s my birthday. 🎉And like a true sci-fi writer, I’ve been spending it not in celebration—but in contemplation.

(Okay, fine—and with cake.)

As I look ahead to the September 1st release of Pandora Theory, I’m reminded just how strange this writing journey has been. Not strange in a bad way—just... recursive. Emotional. Unpredictable. Kind of like the characters I keep writing.

Pandora Theory is my second novella this summer, and in many ways, it’s the most personal one yet.Not because it mirrors my life directly—but because it wrestles with something I think we all feel eventually:

That moment when the thing you believed in most starts to crack.

Charles Asden (the man who will become Chaos) doesn’t break because of failure—he breaks because he tries too hard to fix everything. Because he can’t let go. Because he starts believing that only he can carry the truth.

And that’s where Pandora Theory hits hardest.

This birthday, I’m grateful for the chance to tell stories like this. To ask strange questions inside collapsing futures. To keep pulling threads in a tapestry woven from recursion, code, memory, and guilt.

So, if you’ve read Echoes of the neXt, or even just enjoy psychological thrillers with a touch of technomancy—Pandora Theory might be my best signal yet.
