My newest Book, A Mind Beyond the Stars.
A Mind Beyond the Stars
Inspired by the life and mind of Stephen Hawking
What if Stephen Hawking had been given a second life—not in the clinical world of physics labs and lecture halls, but in a realm of swords, sorcery, and secrets untold?
A Mind Beyond the Stars is a genre-bending novel that bridges the boundaries of science fiction, fantasy, and emotional storytelling. At its heart is Stephan, a brilliant physicist confined to a failing body, whose life has been defined by discovery, loss, and a relentless pursuit of understanding. But when an otherworldly intelligence offers him the chance to begin again—this time in a world where magic is real—his story truly begins.
What follows is not just a tale of exploration, but one of reinvention.
Reborn into a new body in a realm of elemental forces, dragons, and ancient runes, Stephan brings with him the full weight of Earth’s 20th- and 21st-century scientific knowledge. But instead of being a passive observer, he becomes a catalyst—designing new technologies, decoding magical systems, building alliances, and transforming an entire kingdom’s relationship to knowledge.
As the stakes grow higher, so do the questions:
What happens when the laws of magic meet the laws of physics?
Can emotional growth be more powerful than intellectual brilliance?
Is this truly a second chance... or part of something far larger?
Inspired by the legacy of Stephen Hawking, the novel is a tribute to the idea that brilliance is not limited by the body, that wonder can exist on both sides of the microscope, and that even the most logical minds can find meaning in connection, love, and story.
