Start Here

Where to begin

I have written across horror, science fiction, dystopia, memoir, combat sports and interactive fiction. The easiest way in depends on what brought you here.

I want the fiction

Start with Brightside for psychological science fiction, Twisted Reunion for short horror, or 25 Perfect Days: Plus 5 More for interconnected dystopian fiction.

I want to understand the brain injury

Start with TBI or CTE: What the Hell Is Wrong with Me? It is not a medical manual. It is a personal record of symptoms, fear, treatment, mistakes and the search for enough clarity to keep building a life.

TBI or CTE

I came for fighting

Start with Unlocking the Cage, built from visits to one hundred gyms and interviews with hundreds of fighters. Then follow the personal path from competition to brain-injury advocacy.

Unlocking the Cage

I came from Try Not to Die

Try Not to Die now has its full home at Vincere Press. Here, you can see the books and experiences that shaped me before and beyond the interactive series.

I just want to know who this guy is

That may be the most dangerous option. Start with the About page, then decide whether the fiction, fighting or brain damage explains the rest.
