"The limits of my language mean the limits of my world." — Ludwig Wittgenstein
Hey, I'm Rian
I’m an educator, writer, and podcaster from Perth, Western Australia. But that doesn't tell you much, so here's a bit more.I'm the quiet guy at the party probably ignoring everyone and making friends with your dog. I'm a literary nerd and a huge fan of RPGs and story-based video games. I'm a hobbyist photographer and an audio enthusiast. I'm also a cat dad, a trans man, autistic and ADHD, and chronic over-thinker.Scroll down to read about some of my work.
I write (mostly) fiction
My current projects include a science fiction novel and a short story collection. I'm aiming for publication of some of my short stories in 2027.Though, I'm a sucker for a good essay when it's about a topic that's important to me, and you can read some of them on my blog as well as on genreblender.net.
I co-host a podcast
It's called Genre Blender and it's about storytelling across books, movies, TV shows and video games, with my buddy Kris.You can check it out here:Watch on YouTube

I take photos for fun
Street, documentary, and travel photography is what I love most, but sometimes I take nature and landscape photos, too.Capturing a genuine moment in time that will never be repeated in quite the same way—there's something captivating about that that's even more important with today's prevalence of AI.I casually post my work on Instagram if you want to check it out.
