COSMIC MYTHIC FICTION

Where Science, Spirit, and Story Converge

Cosmic Mythic Fiction is the literary space where imagination rises beyond the limits of genre — a fusion of epic fantasy, visionary science fiction, ancestral myth, and the deeper questions that echo through human consciousness.

It explores stories shaped by destiny, wonder, and the forces that move unseen beneath the surface of reality.
Not magic.
Not technology.
Something older — the architecture of meaning.

This is the heart of Cosmic Mythic Fiction:
the meeting point of myth and the cosmos.
A place where the ancient and the futuristic are not opposites, but mirrors.


Why Cosmic Mythic Fiction Exists

Every culture has myths.
Every future has science.
Most stories choose one or the other.

Cosmic Mythic Fiction chooses both.

It asks:

  • What happens when the hero’s journey expands across star systems?

  • What does destiny mean in a universe shaped by quantum physics?

  • What becomes of ancient archetypes when humanity touches the infinite?

  • What does “freedom” mean when civilizations span a hundred worlds?

  • What does it mean to be human when our myths evolve along with us?

These are not academic questions.
They are story questions — revealed through characters striving, failing, rising, and changing.


The Four Pillars of Cosmic Mythic Fiction

1. Mythic Resonance

Stories shaped by primal forces — destiny, justice, shadow, transformation, sacrifice.
Not symbols placed on top of a narrative, but themes woven into its foundation.

2. Cosmic Wonder

Science that feels vast.
Worlds that feel alive.
Societies that feel both inevitable and fragile.

The cosmos is not a backdrop; it is a character.

3. Human Truth

Emotions matter.
Relationships matter.
The inner world is as important as the outer one.

Love, fear, longing, guilt, purpose — these are the engines of epic storytelling.

4. Archetypal Characters

Heroes and antiheroes shaped by mystery, burden, or destiny —
not chosen ones, but necessary ones.

Their journeys reveal the spiritual physics of the worlds they inhabit.


Why My Stories Use This Form

I have always written at the intersection of the mythic and the scientific.
I’m drawn to the places where logic and wonder meet — where consciousness, destiny, and the cosmos influence one another.

Across my worlds you’ll find:

  • starships powered by sacred geometry

  • civilizations shaped by ancient philosophies

  • dragon-shifting guardians bound to human destiny

  • Celtic dreamlands woven into modern imagination

  • far-future empires wrestling with the nature of power

  • metaphysical truths disguised as scientific discoveries

Different settings.
Different eras.
One impulse:

To tell stories that awaken something ancient —
something we already know, but have forgotten.


What Cosmic Mythic Fiction Feels Like

Readers often describe my work as:

“epic in scope, intimate in emotion”
“mythic worlds with scientific logic”
“Tolkien meets Asimov meets Zelazny”
“like reading ancient scripture set in the future”
“a sense of vastness wrapped around human stakes”

But the feeling that matters most is this:

The sense that the story is larger than the page —
that it points to something beyond the horizon.

That is the effect I aim for in every book.


The Future of Cosmic Mythic Fiction

This is more than a genre.
It is a lens through which to view story itself.

As humanity’s myths evolve…
as our scientific horizons expand…
as our understanding of consciousness deepens…

stories must grow with us.

Cosmic Mythic Fiction is my contribution to that growth —
a synthesis of what we dream, what we fear, what we seek,
and what we might become.


Step into the Realms

Cosmic Mythic Fiction begins here —
in the Imperium, in Celtic dreamlands, in dragon-shadowed skies,
in worlds born from love, loss, wonder, and destiny.

Each realm stands alone.
All of them connect.

The stories await.
The realms are open.

Waiting.
