monsters, and computers fight for dominance.

In a world
torn between becoming machines or becoming monsters, whose side are

Riddle me this…

Storytelling is an ancient and beloved form of art that has captivated the human imagination for more centuries than we can count on our fingers. Whether through the written word, oral tradition, or visual media, stories have the power to transport us to different worlds, evoke powerful emotions, and challenge our intellect. One effective technique that has stood the test of time in engaging audiences, is the incorporation of puzzles, art, and riddles into a narrative. Today I’d like to lift the curtain a bit on what that has meant for my work as an author/artist throughout the years…

Engagement and Immersion: becoming a part of the story.

Puzzles and riddles serve as a powerful tool to captivate and immerse readers in a story. When a character encounters a challenge, the reader, too, is invited to actively participate in solving that mystery. Although I am very much NOT a mystery author, the intrigue of mystery itself is a very important part of my work.

Consider The Singularian Grimoire Anthologies. Sovren, one of the main characters, often runs into binary codes produced by old computers, or finds cyphers hidden in old thumb-drives that have survived the apocalypse. Everything you need to solve these puzzles is right in front of you, but you will often have to look carefully to find where the key to the cypher is hidden. Sometimes, you’ll find the solution in an illustration. Other times, you’ll find it in bold words or letters across the book, forming a sentence… If you want to full experience to my novels, you’re going to have to keep a sharp eye on the details.

Becoming allies with the main characters.

But the riddles you’ll find aren’t just for you. I didn’t create them to taunt you or drive you mad. They are also a narrative device through which the main characters are introduced to conflict, pushing the story forward to new layers of lore and worldbuilding. Since The Singularian Grimoire Anthologies are collections of short stories connected across time, the riddles are a way to hold everything together. But don’t be afraid, these aren’t books that require a notebook or anything of the sort. All it requires is a sharp eye… and an understanding of how a post-apocalyptic world would communicate in secret if the future depended on it—and trust me, that will become clear the moment you open the books😉

As readers, we relish the opportunity to accompany characters on their journeys and discoveries. Through my stories and the mysteries they hold, I hope my books provide the perfect vehicle for such adventures. So, if you are a reader seeking an immersive and intellectually stimulating experience, The Singularian Grimoire Anthologies are definitely for you.Would you like to know more? I invite you to solve the riddle…
