If another world is possible, it has to be imagined first.
Stories where social justice matters. Where the tireless agitator and the cynical revolutionary have a real shot at changing the world. Where the collective struggle is the way we love and protect each other, and where social transformation doesn’t incur madness over power.
These are the types of stories I want to bring to life and share with you.

Novel I’m currently working on:
Ericelda Serna is on the verge of finishing her term as a prisoner of the intergalactic prison conglomerate. Having fought and lost on the wrong side of Luna’s bloody civil war, she is serving out her demobilization directive as a laborer.
Sent to a new space rig above Titan for her last labor contract, Serna is part of a small crew supervised by a multi-planetary corporation with the mission to explore the depths of the Kraken Mare.

Julian Grajales is tired of feeling powerless in an exploitative world.
He’s turned to writing because it can overcome even the most entrenched systems of oppression and turn you into a spinner of the most wondrous extraordinary yarns nobody has lived.
He wants to tell stories that challenge everyday notions, tear down the status quo, and liberate people from the drabness of daily life under capitalism. More than anything, he wants to tell stories that cross the gamut of everyday struggles and emotions without leaving out the victories - no matter how small or revolutionary.
