My debut novel launches June 1

Pre-order the ebook for €0.99 (limited time)

Three years ago, I sent out the first installment of my mosaic cli-fi series There Is Hope.

That day, I invited you on a long journey as I wrote and published my first novel, letting the story unfold episode by episode in your inbox. Some of you have been here from the beginning. Others joined along the way. Either way, here we are. On this small corner of the internet, writing and reading literature while the world spins on.

Bringing this novel to life with you has felt like a piece of stolen time. In our busy lives, taking the odd moment to immerse in an imaginary world—both as readers and writers—is a rare kind of luxury. It is also a pure form of human existence: to experience the wold on our own terms, and to articulate our unique worldviews through stories.

After a long journey, There Is Hope is finally ready to leave the pages of this newsletter and venture into the world. The publication date is June 1, 2026. The first edition will include an eBook and a beautiful paperback edition with five interior illustrations—which I will reveal soon.

To thank you for supporting this story as it was written and serialized, I’m making the eBook available for pre-order at €0.99 for the next six weeks. After publication, the price will be €5.99.

If you’ve been reading along, this is the moment to make it yours.

A lot has changed between the first installment and this final version. I spent autumn and winter rewriting until the words sang on the page—adding depth, structure, cutting 2000 words, then adding 5000 more.

For the book design I collaborated with the talented Barış Şehri. He created a a stunning cover for the book, did professional typesetting for the interior, and brought the story to life with five gorgeous interior illustrations.

All of this will be included in both the eBook and the print edition.

A note for paid subscribers

As a thank you for your support, I would like to gift you the ebook and a signed copy of the print edition. Keep an eye on your inbox for more details in the upcoming weeks.

This book exists because you were here. Now I’d love for you to hold it.
