Welcome to the City of Marble & Ember

Marble & Ember is a literary gothic publication where original fiction and reflective essays meet cinematic atmosphere and philosophical storytelling.

This is a world of shifting shadows and dangerous beauty, where preservation is often a polite word for violence, and the only way to save what you love is to let it change.

Three Ways to Enter the System:

  • Marble (The Records): high-concept gothic fiction. Stories of archivists and artists who discover that when beauty stops moving, it turns to stone.

  • Ember (The Witness): weekly reflections on the messy reality of being alive. If Marble is the myth, Ember is the heat: a look at memory, grief, loneliness, and survival.

  • Carnival (The Wit): sharp-tongued Victorian tales of corporate sabotage and electric fog in London, 1874. Where logic meets theater.

Behind the Work

I am a published author with a background in film and television, specializing in editing and post-production. My career has been spent at the intersection of the page and the screen, dedicated to the construction of illusions and the precision of the written word.

Marble & Ember is where cinematic atmosphere meets literary gothic fiction.
