The Last Garden
Originally published as part of the Futurescapes Zine, this exclusive extended edition invites readers to question the price of progress in a world on the brink of collapse. Set against the backdrop of towering domed cities and barren wastelands, The Last Garden explores the tension between humanity's reliance on technology and its desperate yearning to reconnect with nature.
An Amazon Bestseller (#2 in Literary Short Stories New Releases, #30 in Literary Short Stories, #131 in Dystopian Sci-Fi), this gripping tale challenges us to consider: can humanity innovate its way out of destruction, or is the key to survival buried in the seeds of the past?
Available now on Amazon.

If it Flies, it Dies
​
A runner-up in the Voice Magazine competition, this dystopian cautionary tale explores the human psyche amid the challenges of climate change. If it Flies, it Dies delves into the harsh realities of survival, questioning the essence of hope and the impact of individualism in a collapsing society.
"These stories feel like they were pulled from dark, fertile soil, earth and possibly poisonous. Like the best fiction, read this collection at your pleasure and your peril" Spun Stories
Mike Shea, Writer of Miskatonic High
"This dystopian tale already draws on very selfish human traits we are already seeing as we stray from the collective and lose our democratic power, pitting humans against themselves but in a much more twisted way, which I think drives the message a lot clearer and serves as a warning for how we act in the next few years towards the climate crisis. A very lovely read!"
If it flies, it dies
