I am an avid fan of science fiction and fantasy, and I write in both of those genres. Interests of mine apart from reading and writing are video games (though I am very much a casual player), Magic: The Gathering, and martial arts and parkour/ninja warrior training. I am currently serving in the Israel Defense Force. I hold a Master’s degree in history, and my Master’s thesis is available on Amazon along with my debut space opera and fantasy novels, A Greater Duty, A Looming Shadow, A Shifting Alliance, and The Dragon Hand.

This blog is primarily writing focused, but I will, when the need arises, also discuss the science fiction/fantasy writing world, as well as politics.

You can support me directly via buying my books on Amazon, or via Subscribestar.
