frāctus

A trippy, cosmic romp about surviving early-onset social dystopia.

Frāctus is as surreal and weird as it is profound and insightful. Readers will find themselves laughing out loud one moment and weeping the next—though not necessarily in that order.

About Me

I am a former creative director and marketing executive turned rogue. When the world went to shit, I said, screw it, I might as well write some books. 

I’m fighting the good fight. Not with a sword, or a pen, but a clicky mechanical keyboard and a stack of dusty books. 

I like cats and I love my wife.

Synopsis

The story is set in a near-future technofeudal dystopia, in the red and pink neon-lit streets and dark alleyways of a premier entertainment district. When gig hustler Zé picks a fight with an AI chatbot named Bob™, he is unwittingly thrust into the psychedelic dreamscape of Unus Mundus, a layer of reality where the physical collides with the psychical. While there, Zé meets interdimensional rebels, faces cosmic horrors, and must escape from a transhuman purgatory in the form of a multi-dimensional labyrinth.

Frāctus defies traditional structure, allowing readers to chart their own path through its fragmented narrative. In doing so, they’ll discover that they, too, are trapped in a labyrinth. This is a novel that rewards readers for digging deep and exploring its many layers but avoids punishing a more casual reading. Readers merely need to ask themselves:

Do you want to absorb Frāctus? Or be absorbed by it?

Filled with unforgettable characters, biting satire, and sharp commentary on contemporary life, Frāctus is an experience that will tickle your brain and hug your heart.

The Long, Convoluted Origin Story of Frāctus

I’ve been working on this book for over five years. When asked about what it felt like to spend so much time on a project, I’d say, “Unbearably hard. Painful. Omnipresent. Though at times, breathtaking and wonderful. It’s like I’ve spent the past five years in labor, and now I’m
