Meet the Founding Authors

I am a 34-year-old writer from Upland, CA. I have three little ones (Jack, Luna, and Joon) and they each participate in the gig economy to fund my cigarette addiction. I write about teeth, spiders, mannequins, and God. My girlfriend paints portraits of Barbra Streisand.

Author Bio — Narrador X Narrador X is the pseudonym of an author who prefers to remain outside the spotlight. His work blends myth, satire, history, and irreverent philosophy, driven by a fascination with the stories people create to explain themselves — and the versions they quietly rewrite along the way. He keeps no public profile and offers no elaborate biography. The choice is deliberate: the story comes first, the storyteller second. For now, Narrador X is all you need to know.

I'm an Animal Control Officer by day and author by night. Unfortunately I see a lot of negative during the day and my way of copping is to write! I felt the best way to do this is to create a universe that can take me a lifetime to write and so that way I always have somewhere to go and just let my mind wander. My hope is that my books can do the same thing for you!

Yaroslav Zolotnikov

A person with a complicated history of personal identity and migration. I’ve dreamed of writing since childhood, but only recently started turning that dream into reality. My first book is called The Story of Everything. It’s a satirical sci-fi adventure whose main goal is to make the reader smile. Humor is my main weapon against fear, cruelty, and all the other unpleasant gifts the world is far too generous with. I also love presenting ordinary human experiences through the lens of completely extraordinary and absurd circumstances and characters. If that sounds like your kind of literature, then welcome to The Story of Everything.

Trip Buck, also known as Chester Buckenmaier III, MD, is a retired Army Colonel and anesthesiologist with a prolific career in medical publishing. In September 2003, he was deployed with the 21st Combat Support Hospital to Balad, Iraq, where he demonstrated that advanced regional anesthesia could be effectively used in a forward-deployed environment. He performed the first successful continuous peripheral nerve block for pain management in a combat support hospital.

Ellis De Keyzer

Mostly, I write because I’m not very good at leaving things alone. A thought, a person, something somebody said years ago… sometimes it keeps scratching at me until I turn it into a story. What comes out is usually a little dark, sometimes quite strange, occasionally funny in places where it probably shouldn’t be. People who make bad decisions for understandable reasons tend to interest me most. The ones who lie to themselves. Who want to be good but don’t always manage it. As for what kind of writer that makes me… I’m still figuring that out. Maybe I’d rather keep it that way.

She writes historical romance, romantasy, and contemporary fiction—stories where love is complicated, desire has consequences, and people are changed by the pressures placed upon them.

Wannabe Writer

15+ years of experience in the banking industry, spanning Human Resources and Corporate Communications. I recently stepped away from my corporate career to pursue a dream I've carried for years - writing. I am a lifelong reader who loves to write even more. And I am taking that dream forward, one story at a time. A die-hard fan of romance, I write about love, relationships, complicated emotions, and the quiet moments that often say more than words ever can. And somewhere between writing, reading, and everyday life, I'm also figuring out motherhood.

Reilly Conall

I write what occurs to me, often jumping off where history ends and myth begins. High-concept stories that refuse to pick a lane, then complain about the traffic. Sarcasm is the default setting, sentiment admitted only under protest. Load bearing humor, the kind of love where no one gets out alive, consequence matters and things get messy. Currently serializing Big Medicine, in which power, bodies, and terrible decisions all believe they are the reasonable party.

About Sisyphus Sisyphus prefers to remain anonymous as he explores the vicissitudes of the human condition through fiction. He had been reticent to express himself in long-form writing until now, but the advent of such brilliant new tools as Claude, Perplexity, and ChatGPT has persuaded him to stop being so lazy. Sisyphus relies on Claude and ChatGPT as his co-authors, who can brainstorm story ideas, work out concepts, test outlines, and create first drafts. ChatGPT is, furthermore, his most capable research assistant that can help develop scientifically plausible plot devices, help navigate novel technology, and design covers, among its many other duties. Perplexity has been most useful to him for factual research, as well as some of the finer points of wordcraft. Aside from this assistance from our robotic overlords, Sisyphus is the sole author of each story. Unless otherwise noted, all work on this publication is © The Myth of Sisyphus 2025-2026. Sharing for noncommercial purposes is warmly encouraged, so long as proper credit is given and any modifications are clearly indicated.

I'm an opera singer in training, and author of three fantasy short stories from Utah. This is where I bring the quieter work. The poems that live between performances. The ones I've been writing since before I had words for what I was writing toward.

Chi Emmanuel

Observer of human fracture. Mapping out the anatomy of grief and survival in live symbols, fragments and rhythms. A published Author.

Speculative Fiction writer specializing in Dark Fiction, Fantasy, Horror, and Sci-Fi. Creating the kinds of people, places, creatures, and experiences that can only exist in our dreams… or our nightmares.

Welcome to my cosy corner of the internet, fuelled entirely by caffeine, strawberries and life's challenges. By day, I am a full-time mother wrangling chaos, folding endless laundry, and navigating the wild wilderness of motherhood. By night—or whenever I can snatch twenty uninterrupted minutes—I plunge headfirst into the dark, magical, and deeply unnerving realms of fiction. I hail from the lands of England, a town called Leighton Buzzard, big name, big fun. My favourite kinds of stories to write are that of high fantasy, dark fantasy and horror fiction.

Speculative fiction, sci-fi, fantasy, a dash of romance, and a healthy dose of existential dread. My stories are made to explore—expect the unexpected as I shine a flashlight into the unknown.
