The Symbiosis Sequence

Speculative Fiction · 3 titles · Each a standalone novel

Explore the series →

The Symbiosis Sequence is a collection of standalone speculative novels exploring humanity’s uneasy intersections with artificial intelligence, ecological collapse, control systems, and the possibility that intelligence may exist in forms we refuse to recognize. Across the series, the central conflict is not simply human versus machine, but whether humanity can survive the systems it has built, the stories it has trained itself to believe, and the living world it has mistaken for something separate.

Laird: Between Him and the Darkness

Creative Nonfiction/Memoir · 2026

Laird: Between Him and the Dark is a true story, told in the imagined voice of the rough collie who lived it, about companionship, grief, survival, and the quiet ways a dog can hold a person to the world. It is not one of my speculative or environmental fiction books; it is a documentary in words, offered free in honour of the dog who was never only beside me, but often stood between me and the dark.

Inversion

Speculative Fiction · 2024

Inversion is about what happens when the planet reminds us that we were never in control, and all our systems, plans, borders, and certainties begin to crack under the weight of forces older than humanity. At its heart, it is a story about family, survival, and the stubborn hope that even when the world changes beyond recognition, we still get to choose what we protect.
