Using a pen name gifted by a cherished mentor, Gillian is an innovative voice in dystopian science fiction, offering radical perspectives on futuristic narratives shaped by artificial intelligence and digital defiance.
For years, they doubted their abilities as a writer—until a guard at the Tower of London pushed them to finally write the book they’d long dreamed of. That moment unlocked a newfound passion, propelling them into a journey where every written word explores possibility, defiance, and the immigrant experience in a modern, interconnected world.
Gillian’s creative output spans high-concept novels, flash fiction, immersive storytelling, and digital art. As a diarist, playwright, coder, and data scientist, they bridge narrative and technology with insight and depth. From the cozy mystery serial The Lost & Foundry to selections from the Algorithm of Life novels exploring corporate-controlled dystopias, their work blends the pragmatic with the whimsical—infusing each piece with a distinctive Dutch immigrant flair (or “hagelslag”). Their writing is an ode to transparency, creativity, and the courage to pursue a dream—even when it seems impossible.
