About

Hi, I’m J.B., and I write subtle science fiction.

I write puzzle-box stories—the kind where the real story reveals itself on rereading or reflection. I trust readers to piece things together, to sit with ambiguity, to notice what characters miss. My work is quiet, deliberately layered, and meant to linger.

With a background in IT and an MA in clinical psychology, I find myself fascinated by both the technical and the emotional: how systems break down, how people endure, and what gets lost—or found—in the gaps.

I split my free time between WYRM, an in-depth critique group for speculative fiction that occasionally runs an indie writing competition, and Gryboteka, a Lithuanian SFF magazine I help curate; the rest goes to my tiny garden.
