Who Am I
Hey there 😀 I’m Gus, a Creative Writing postgraduate turned entrepreneur. Across my videos, and writing, I like to explore science fiction, speculative fiction, writing and all things big and scaly. Enjoy studying the Jurassic geologic period and playing nonlinear open world video games.

I write a weekly newsletter called Big And Scaly. Every week, I share my thoughts with subscribers. I usually focus on Speculative Fiction subjects I’ve been pondering, links to books I like, articles, news items, and podcasts I’ve enjoyed, and other rambly stuff. Check it out !!
I write and publish Science Fantasy Novels, Serialized Stories, Flash Fiction, Short Stories and more. My latest KERAVNO series tells the story of a twenty something young adult who finds a mysterious creature with strange powers. Can this creature be the only thing standing between the city and total destruction by biotech monsters?
