The Architect of Harperville

Now untethered from any bloodline, Jack hails from the Land of Oz, serving with wit and ceremony as the self‑appointed Ozian Ambassador to The Emerald City. When not negotiating with flying monkeys or drafting treaties along the expanded Golden Brick Road, they can be found wandering the Gulf of Winkie from the Golden Dock—the only hidden exit from the City’s jeweled gates. Jack delights in ritualizing the ordinary, reframing grief and joy alike into myth, and stamping every ending with a flourish that leaves readers haunted. Their fiction is less a story than a ceremony: layered with sensory detail, threaded with humor, and punctuated with the kind of emotional detonations that linger long after the last page.
