The Capital
While I do write a lot of things, I am primarily a fiction writer. I currently specialize in science fiction, but genre should not be a straitjacket for the story. Firstly, I’m a novelist. My aim for Germanicus Publishing is to build my library of works, establish my credentials as a writer, and promote my books.
So far, I have one novel to my name: Inquisitor’s Promise. It’s a grand space opera story about a young Inquisitor, Aeneas Aquilanus, as he journeys across the politically charged landscape of 74th century Earth. Follow Aeneas on his mission to unite the fractured Holy League, defeat the apocalyptic threat of the Grey Globe, and fulfill the promise he had made to his beloved Galatea.
Inquisitor’s Promise can be found on Amazon, Lulu, and Laterpress. For more information, check out this post below:

At the moment, I am also working on my next series of novels I call Inquisitor’s Task Force:
Germanicus-proper
Inner Provinces
Now let’s get to what’s in this Substack. In Germanicus Publishing, I write both fiction and nonfiction. Let’s start with the fiction-side of things. These are the Inner Provinces of the empire. There are currently six Inner Provinces of the Germanicus Fiction Empire: The Santara Commentaries, The UEC Stories, Inquisitor’s Promise, Holy League, Flash Fiction, and Microfiction.
The Santara Commentaries
Also known as Santara for short, my ongoing serial is a high fantasy series taking place in the aforementioned Santara Archipelago. Start reading here:
The Table of Contents can be found below. As the commentaries continue, the contents will grow:

The UEC Stories
A new addition to the Inner Provinces of the Germanicus Fiction Empire. At the moment, it’s very much a work-in-progress. For more details, click below:
Inquisitor’s Promise
My debut novel was first published as a serialized series here in Substack. The Table of Contents can be found below. But be aware that this is not the Definitive Edition of Inquisitor’s Promise.
In addition, check out these posts to learn more about the characters and the world of Inquisitor’s Promise:
Holy League
The Holy League Universe is the name of the expanded universe upon which Inquisitor’s Promise is but a piece of the tapestry. Short stories and serials made up 14,000 years of history. For more information, check out its introductory post:
The following are examples of the stories found in this universe:
Flash Fiction
These are the standalone stories I have posted on Substack. Most of the stories here are less than 1,000 words in length. So this is the place for quick reads. Here are a few examples:
Microfiction
These are standalone stories made up of 100 words or less. Unlike the others, these stories have been published collectively as they are originally posted elsewhere, such as Notes. Begin here:
Outer Provinces
So those were the inner provinces, my works of fiction. Now let’s get to the Outer Provinces. These are my fiction-based nonfiction work which include reviews, articles, and personal logs. Three provinces made up the outer reaches of Germanicus-proper: Fiction Analysis, Articles, and NaNoWriMo.
Fiction Analysis
This is my review series analyzing various books in-depth. I only put in books that I’ve enjoyed in this series, so consider being included in Fiction Analysis to be a recommendation. Below are two of my favorites. Spoiler alert, of course.
Articles
Occasionally, I get the mood to write articles. These are my commentaries on either fiction or culture. Or both.
NaNoWriMo
The newest addition to the Outer Provinces of Germanicus Publishing. This is where you can find my personal logs as I tackle the 2023 National Novel Writing Month challenge. Below is the first log:
Colonies and Vassal States
But the Germanicus Fiction Empire is not limited to just this publication. My works can be found elsewhere. Those include:
- , a collaborative sci-fi project with His Majesty the Peasant-King of the Gibberish Kingdom.
- . This is my personal blog. While non-fiction, I consider it to be a vassal state of the Germanicus Fiction Empire. Why? Because the best way to understand the art is to learn about the artist.
- is the recently established poetry division of the Empire.
- , a WIP colony.
Flash Fiction Stories published by Silence and Starsong.
