Now

Hi, I'm Japheth. You've stumbled into my Sivers-inspired Now page.

Does this picture make my website look fat?

Writing & Storytelling

I've paused work on my novella and novel-length projects to take a different approach with my writing. Right now, I'm:

Publishing one piece of original short fiction (50 - 1,500 words) every Friday.
Publishing a new installment to my dystopian sci-fi serial story, Janie and The Gray.
Recording and publishing audio versions of my short stories with my baddie wife and ride-or-die Darcy.
Doing all of the above and connecting with other writers on the PEWPEWHUZZAH blog, Medium, and Substack.
Attempting to promote the above on Instagram and Bluesky.
