About the author

Hey besties, my name is Ari L. Radish. I’m a science-fiction author and computer scientist and I’ve been working on Astronomer’s Creed for over ten years. I’m from the Canadian prairies, but I live in Germany with my partner, my dog, and my cat.

Astronomer’s Creed began as a form of escapism. It was a world I loved visiting and I kept coming back. As I wrote, I wondered if the story was a manifestation of my own subconscious desire to study the sciences — spoiler alert it wasn’t.

I then took a ten year detour to study Computer Science and become a software engineer. I learned that working in tech could never bring me the joy that writing this story has, but it did provide me with an understanding of science and academia that I required to properly write this book. So after all that, I’m finally ready to share Astronomer’s Creed with the world.

An honourable mention to some of the stories that shaped me: Donnie Darko, White Oleander, East of Eden, Edward Scissor Hands, Howl’s Moving Castle, The Picture of Dorian Gray, Hocus Pocus, Practical Magic, Lord of the Rings, Alice in Wonderland, and Frankenstein.

Please don’t hesitate to engage with me on socials or email.

Thank you so much for being here!
