I teach (& research) ancient civilizations, then write stories & articles inspired by what I learn. I basically use speculative fiction as a framing device for sharing worldbuilding research in the form of obscure history & biology. My nonfiction articles have been published by outlets like SFWA, Worldbuilding Magazine, and the Tor.com blog. If you're interested in seeing how I use my notes to write short science fiction & fantasy stories, accompanied by nerdy deep dives into ancient history & weird animal biology, please check out my newsletter, The Iceberg.
