Currently author of one Central Asian history and International Relations book as well as multiple published articles on foreign policy topics. Hopefully a future weird fiction author as well once life gives me the time necessary. Also considering future nonfiction writing projects in Native American history and geopolitical theory.
My book interests break down to nonfiction in world history, military history, astronomy, earth science, geography, and philosophy. Especially forgotten about civilizations or conflicts, the Eurasian Steppe, and the indigenous peoples of the Americas. In fiction I love weird /horror fiction, and unconventional and genre atypical science fiction and fantasy. I also like bizarre or concept driven graphic novels.
Rough breakdown of how I view star ratings:
5=Rare perfection, would read many times again.
4=Good, would read again.
3=Average/situationally good/mixed bag, worth reading once.
2=Sub-par but with some redeeming factors, only worth reading if it contains some niche topic significance.
1=Regret reading at all/awful.
