In the Garden of Prosperity
For thousands of years the people of the Mountain have carefully maintained their prosperous, peaceful way of life. Now, a growing desire to learn about the world beyond is forcing them to ask the momentous question: Can their longstanding culture survive contact with the outside?
During these tumultuous times, Korinv faces a much more personal question: Does she have the fortitude to form a lasting relationship with the compelling, capricious woman who’s leaving on an expedition across the desert?

Wielder of Abundace
Could centuries of science, literature, and cultural beliefs about magic really be wrong?
Since childhood, Mir has been committed to the arduous task of becoming a wielder of abundance — one of the few who travel to destitute worlds to restore societies undone by famine and war. But now that she’s seen for herself the devastation she was meant to repair, she’s faced with uncomfortable questions. Are the alien tribes she was sent to serve simply deluded by bloodthirsty revolutionaries, or could Mir be wrong about her own mission?

Substacks
Writing a Utopian Novel for the 2020s
"Somehow it’s easier for us to accept that our planet is becoming incapable of comfortably supporting human life, than to accept the idea that a different form of economy and government could solve most of the problems we’ve created."

Lazy Goth
