About Me

Hello, I am Rian, and I write science fiction and fantasy.

My Story

Some call it fascination, others would see it as an obsession, either way, my love for storytelling is endless. I love stories in all kinds of media: books, films, television shows, video games, and probably even more which I am forgetting right now. The imagination of others has always fascinated me. In middle school I wrote my first crime short story: "A Rat in a Cage". Maybe I will release that here, in edited form some time in the future. I graduated in bio sciences and started to work in the field. If it was my love for science fiction which started me on this journey I do not know, but my background in science is deeply interwoven with the subjects I write about.

What I Write

No matter if I write science fiction or fantasy, I always explore contemporary struggles by using the fantastic as a guise. I deliberately engage with political topics and love exploring the distinctive features of sociological storytelling. The Other carries the same weight in my stories as the heroic named hero. I am drawn to stories about the normal people, the working people. In my stories, the faceless are given a face, the nameless are given a name.

Who are You?"

I love hearing from others! Whether you want to discuss theories about my stories, share your own journey, or just say hello. You can find me on social media to connect or join my newsletter (coming soon!) to get exclusive updates.
