SOCIETY RISEN
Uprising story told from the perspective of those at the top
WRITER NOTE
This marks my first truly serious, carefully crafted work. While I’ve put heart into my previous books, Highest Society stands apart. It’s sharper. Heavier. More deliberate. A satirical deep-dive into what it feels like to stand at the top—only to watch it all slip away.
You could say it’s my own messed-up lens on the elite—those sitting high above, too far removed to care about the people below. Is it a critique of modern society? Maybe. But I’m not smart enough to call myself a social commentator. So instead, I built a fictional world where this kind of thing shouldn’t happen.
…Right, guys?
Cyberpunk 2077 left a heavy mark on me—and on this story. The worldbuilding, the themes, the tech-noir vibes? All thanks to that neon-drenched dystopia. But the heart of the story? That comes straight from Red Rising. God, I love that series. I devoured the first trilogy in under a month—and, like a creative aftershock, this book came to life just as fast. I haven’t gotten around to the second trilogy yet, but that original run? Chef’s kiss. Highly recommended.
Favorite Chapter?
Milady Madelyn, hands down. I went full deep-dive on that one—researched every single bit of sci-fi tech and theory I could find. And guess what? Most of it is actually possible in real life. That chapter was pure fun and obsession rolled into one.
WRITER NOTE
This is it. The world breaks here—both literally and figuratively. Lowest Society is, without a doubt, the darkest story I’ve ever written.
It’s bolder. Grittier. And sadly… more realistic. That wasn’t an accident. I wanted this story to hit where it hurts—to show a world that mirrors some of the uglier truths we often choose to ignore. Every choice, every moment, every character was written with that weight in mind. And in many ways, it turned out exactly how I imagined. Brutal, but honest.
At the time of writing this note, I’ve stepped back from this series. The final book in the trilogy remains unwritten—but not unplanned. I know exactly how it ends. I just need time. Right now, I’m focused on finishing the Heroes of the Realm saga. Once that’s done, I’ll return to Society Risen and give it the ending it deserves.
Favorite Chapters?
Bola Ajayi—because it’s based on something that truly happened. Writing it broke my heart, and researching it hurt even more.
And Yolanda Cornelia—a name stitched together from two remarkable women who helped me through some of my hardest moments. I wish them nothing but peace, strength, and happiness.
