Ricardo Pomalaza

I'm Ricardo, a software engineering student and amateur writer from New Jersey. Most of my stories are speculative fiction of one type or another. When I'm not writing, I can often be found playing Dungeons & Dragons with friends or falling down YouTube rabbit holes looking at science videos.

What will you find here? Mostly, short stories and novels that I have written over the years. I don't claim to be a professional writer by any means, but I do enjoy weaving together a good story when I can.

I'm a huge fan of science fiction and fantasy novels. I love the escapism that science fiction provides and the rich history of fantasy, with all of the various mythologies and lore that can spawn from it. If you're into those sorts of things, chances are you'll enjoy the majority of my stories.

As of 2024, my list of favorite books include:
‣  Andy Weir's "Project Hail Mary"
‣  Jeanne DuPrau's The City of Ember series
‣  Elan Mastai's "All Our Wrong Todays"
‣  Orson Scott Card's "Ender's Game"
‣  James S. A. Corey's The Expanse series

 I'm working on my first Wattpad novel titled "Mindweaver" which is based on an old idea of mine that mixes post-apocalyptic horror with supernatural abilities. I'm chipping away at it whenever I have time. So stay tuned for its release!
