Let's grow spores in the brain.
Spreading stories, growing my writing skills, and unraveling philosophy - this is the drive of Cosmic Mold. My mold favors sci-fi, fantasy, literary fiction, and horror, but curiosity leads me everywhere. If you crave thought-provoking tales and deep exploration, you've come to the right place.
Don't mind the mold.

About Nathan J. Peel
My name is Nathan J. Peel—writer, software engineer, and computer science student with a deep love for books. Some of my favorite works include Berserk, Crime and Punishment, and The Shining. I am the author of The Cards That Are Dealt and the creator of Cosmic Mold. Right now, I'm working on The Dark Solace Records, a sci-fi/fantasy series, as well as a standalone sci-fi noir.
When I'm not writing, studying, or reading, you'll find me enjoying butter chicken, listening to Mag Bay, Kendrick Lamar, and Hans Zimmer, or spending time with my partner and best friend, Brenna.

I haven't forgotten about this blog. I've just kind of been focussed on other stuff. I hope to get back soon. I've been working on my book quite a bit.
