Life’s Nuclear Origins
“Enrico Fermi created the world’s first nuclear reactor, and years later, became famous for asking why we hadn’t detected life out among the stars. Little did he know his greatest scientific feat was the answer.” ~The novel Motus, by P. A. Kramer
The Motus Audiobook is Live!
The Audiobook for Motus is live and is available for preorder on Audible (Amazon) right now. I had a great experience getting the audiobook made, so I thought I would share some of those positive experiences as well as an interview with the amazing narrator.
Motus Preorder Giveaway
Motus is less than 20 days away from publication (October 9th). Preorders are one of the best ways to improve a book’s visibility during release week. Right now, Motus isn’t likely to rank very high in any one book category based on current preorder numbers. So I’ve devised a preorder campaign to try to improve its rankings.

Motus Cover Reveal and Pre-order Announcement
It’s been a busy few months. Getting a book ready for publication, and doing it right, involves a lot of people and patience. But I’ve finally incorporated edits from my editor, commissioned a cover from an artist, and put it up for pre-order. I'm excited to share the fruits of that labor.
Debut Novel Announcement
I will be releasing my debut hard sci-fi dystopian novel, Motus, this October.
Generative AI in creative writing-
There are so many arguments for and against generative AI in writing, art, and other creative endeavors, I can’t even pretend to have considered them all. However, I have collected enough observations to formulate a hypothesis. I also invite you, my peer reviewers, to let me know what conclusions are problematic and what confounders I failed to account for.
Writing Update July 2025-
It’s been quiet around here for the past couple years, but that is about to change. I’ve made several important decisions regarding my writing and publishing journey. That means this site, as well as my life, will soon get a lot busier.
