The Infinitum is to put it simply a culmination of all my writing into one single place. It started with the earliest of my writing before the name itself came to be. Back then my aspirations toward writing centred more around adventure stories. Stories like The Circle of Life and Cold Blooded Heart provided not only the foundation but templates for pretty much all my future characters. In fact, only one of those characters truly remained unchanged and will later make appearances before his novel debut.
As time progressed I moved on to more in-depth world-building and from that was born the basis of the Infinitum. As to what stories you should expect, the universe itself is full of mad science, demonic magic and all-around insanity. The first series I’m working on Mortalis is set on an Earth alternate to ours. One that was influenced by alien intervention many centuries prior and is still reeling from the consequences of those aliens disappearing. This is an Earth accelerated by alien technology with humans striving ever beyond a mortal existence.
A more serial-like series will be The Children of the Entity which takes science fiction and mixes it with good old-fashioned eldritch horror. I would be lying if I said I didn’t take some inspiration from Lovecraft. Though more than simply using his creations I wanted to make my own.
The Chronicles of Sycane takes place inside its own sphere and is pure fantasy and to date represents one of my earliest pieces of writing, back when I regularly frequented sites like Neopets and beyond. We all had to start somewhere.
My end goal with the Infinitum is to release a set of stories people come back to. To really describe all of it here would be a monumental task. The universe aims to cover many genres. It’s not just novels that I plan to write either. A lot of characters exist and will feature. And I would like to think there will be something here for everyone. At the end of the day, I just want fiction to be something people can laugh, cry and most importantly enjoy consuming. Whether you enjoy it, is not for me to decide. I might be a perfectionist but I’m not without fault. Either way, I hope you’re sitting comfortably.
