Stella Atrium
Stella Atrium is a cynical septuagenarian. She has spent a lifetime exploring female characters for real world reactions to obstacles. Often pushed into submissive and non-verbal roles, women really live in a world of networking among aunties, cousins, wives of husbands, convenient friends and neighbors. This rich world is largely unexplored.
“I grew up with all brothers, so I knew about women from stories and from school. What I found at school wasn’t anything like in the stories, so I set out to learn why.”

Danielle Bryan
I didn’t start writing to become an author—I started writing to get the stories out of my head. One lyric in a song, a random comment overheard in passing—that’s all it takes. Suddenly, I’m somewhere else entirely, inside a world my mind has begun to build. What I didn’t realize at first? Getting one story out only makes room for more. It’s less “creative relief” and more “my brain is a hydra.”

The World According to Garp was perhaps the first sign to a troubled young man that his life might very well be okay. It was incredibly reassuring to see that a young man from such a deeply interesting background can find his niche in life. G. Russell Gaynor was not nearly as challenged as T. S. Garp but until the revelation of the character, relatively speaking Russell was the weirdest kid on his block. His father, a career United States Navy man, taught him how to stand up to face the most challenging aspects of life including the unknown. His mother, a nurse and a technician for the U.S Geological Survey, taught him how to love and how to understand.

I've always written stories. I started out as a kid creating monster stories with a $5 typewriter from the early 1900's. Now I write novels: speculative fiction (SpecFic), crime fiction, or contemporary fiction according to whatever ideas occur to me. I live in Christchurch, New Zealand, about as far away from anywhere as it is possible to be. Earthquakes devastated the city in 2010 and 2011. They appear in my books. I've got a degree that I've never used and two diplomas, one in Hypnotherapy and the other in a subject I don't mention to anyone, as it was so long ago. I read widely: particularly SpecFic, YA, contemporary and non-fiction. My favourite author is Connie Willis, but I mostly read indie authors nowadays. I also enjoy copy-editin

Over the years, I have wandered through many countries, cities, and winding roads — each one leaving a quiet light within me.
Recently, I felt a new kind of calling: not just to explore the world around me, but the worlds within.
That's when I began writing.
Like with real journeys, I don't want to walk only one road.
I write across genres, exploring different directions, voices, and horizons.
I believe that every story is a discovery — a glimpse into another part of the world, and another part of ourselves.
Yes, in America specialization is valued — "Pick your niche and master it."
But I am Russian by soul — and my spirit craves the freedom to express itself in many ways, to live fully and to tell many kinds of stori -
