Author’s Note: A Bridge Between Worlds
From the start, storytelling has been my way of making sense of everything.
I’ve always been drawn to building worlds...not just on paper, but ones that feel cinematic, alive. I wanted readers to step inside my stories the way we step into a film fully immersed, fully present.
From Film to Fiction
My journey didn’t begin with books. It started back in 2012 behind the scenes of film.
I wrote my first screenplay that year. Acted in my first short. That experience taught me something invaluable: how to take an idea... and turn it into something you can feel on screen.

That’s never left me.
When I write now especially with Senia Echoes I see it as if it’s playing out in front of me. The lighting. The silence between words. The atmosphere.
Every scene is written with that same intent: not just to be read, but to be seen.

Taking Control of the Vision
With Senia Echoes, I knew I wasn’t just writing a story. I was building an experience.
And at some point, I realized I needed to take complete control of it.

Earlier in my writing journey, I worked with editors...talented ones and I was grateful for that process. But over time, I noticed something: the more hands that touched the story, the further it drifted from what I had felt when I first wrote it.
So I made a decision.
I would carry this one from first draft to final polish. Every page, every sentence, every rework.
It was exhausting. But it was worth it.

Because now, what you’re reading isn’t just a sci-fi series.
It’s the exact vision I saw when it all began.

Writing with a Director’s Eye
I don’t just write scenes. I see them.
When I’m building a moment in Senia Echoes, I imagine the angles. The silence. The flicker of light before something breaks.
It’s not just about what happens it’s about how it feels.
It’s not just about what happens it’s about how it feels.
That’s something I carry with me from my time in film: how to shape emotion through movement, rhythm, space.
It’s why every page in this story is crafted like a sequence in a movie one moment flowing into the next, with purpose.

It’s not about being flashy.
It’s about pulling the reader into the world… so they don’t just read it they live it.

What Makes Senia Echoes Different?
There are plenty of space adventures out there. This isn’t one of them.
Senia Echoes asks:
What if time itself turned against us?
What if the enemy wasn’t an alien, or a monster but reality breaking apart?
What if time itself turned against us?
What if the enemy wasn’t an alien, or a monster but reality breaking apart?
At the center of it all is Commander Elise Voss. A woman sent to follow orders… who ends up confronting the terrifying truth about her place in the universe.
She falls. She fights. She breaks.
She falls. She fights. She breaks.
But she doesn’t stay broken.
Over time and pain she becomes something else.
Not by chance. Not by prophecy.
By choice.

The Growing Universe
But this is only the beginning.
The Senia Echoes universe is growing fast. New stories. New worlds. New timelines.
It’s a saga built for those who crave high-stakes sci-fi, layered characters, and that feeling of what if this were real?

A Question to Leave You With
What would you become if time was no longer certain?
And who would you be… if you could rewrite everything?
