Seven novels. One sustained inquiry into what it means to follow the data wherever it leads — and what it costs to do so honestly.
A five-book exploration of the hypothesis that space is emergent from a deeper attending mind — built on real physics, real grief, and the specific question of what happens when a scientist follows the data past the point where science is comfortable.
What if the substrate of reality is not what physics assumes?
A theoretical physicist at the edge of her career makes a discovery that shouldn't be possible — and follows it past the point where science is comfortable.

The stars are dimming. The cause is us. The cure is older than the eyes.
A cosmologist going blind discovers that the dimming of the stars is not a natural phenomenon — it is a consequence of human observation. A standalone novel.
