August 6th 2024.
Hi there!
This site has had a strange history. It started out as a place to post the trunk stories I knew would never sell, went viral as a tech blog, keeps bringing in eyes who want to know about writing and selling books.
I’m Sascha. Kāi Tahu, Kāti Huirapa, also kind of Greek. Trans and a problem. Occasional tech journalist, fulltime shitposter, inexplicably a midlist novelist. I self-published The Dawnhounds in 2019, it got picked up by Saga Press for a 2022 release, and the sequel The Sunforge is out RIGHT NOW.
I’m currently writing the third and final book in the trilogy, and have another (sssssh secret) project current on submission. Expect The Worldsend in August 2025. Expect the other thing whenever the stars are right.
If you want regular updates on what I’m up to, sign up for my newsletter here.
peace and haere raa,
Sascha
