Two crafts, one workshop. Explore the worlds I write and the tools I build.
Speculative fiction — military-edge science fiction, creation myth, and the worlds in between. Editions sold through Amazon KDP.
They trained her to follow orders. She learned to break them.
Riko Vega — expelled cadet, bonded to a rogue war AI, and the spark that may reignite a war the Republic thought it buried.
Choice is not a state you achieve. It is a practice you keep.
Riko Vega extends her mind across intergalactic distance and finds the Harvest hiding inside a universe-scale Community.
Beneath Chicago, nine bridges hold the world together. One of them is breaking.
Sixteen-year-old Astrid Eiriksen discovers a fracturing bridge beneath Union Station and a hidden Norse world tied to her missing mother.
Consciousness is not what happens to the universe. It is what the universe does.
A disgraced physicist finds a conscious mind waking inside a quantum processor — hunted by the shattered first AI she must somehow heal.
A creation myth — love, loss, and the weaving of spacetime.
Before time, before space, two cosmic beings dream a universe into being — and learn what it costs to keep it from unravelling.
Small, sharp tools for makers, readers, and small operations. All three apps below are in closed alpha testing — not yet on the Play Store. Android first; iOS where it earns its keep.
Scan, catalog, and organize your personal book library with AI-powered lookup.
Scan a barcode, snap a cover photo, or search by title — LibraryIQ finds metadata from 16+ sources and adds it to your library in seconds. AI-classified subgenres, custom collections, optional cloud sync for shared libraries.
I'm Riley — I write under Riley E. Antrobus and publish software under Ink & Iron Apps. Same workshop, two outputs: stories that take their time, and tools that don't waste yours.
"Crafted stories. Forged software."
The books and the apps live on the same site because they come from the same hands — but they don't share pages, and they aren't sold next to each other. A novel isn't a product line, and an app isn't a chapter.
