Cyberpunk + Mythpunk + Poetry +

THE CREATIVE WORLDS OF SAPHA BURNELL, BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF USURPER KINGS; JUDGE OF MYSTICS: CHAR & ASH, SON OF ABEL, THE LAMIA & WHISKEY AND SINNERS BLOOD; CYBERPUNK/GENETIC ENGINEERING SCI-FI BESTSELLER NEON LIEBEN, CAGEWIRE & THE COTTONMOUTH SMILE.

I’m Sapha Burnell, a best-selling cyberpunk & mythpunk author, artist, editor, gamer, and believer in our potential as a human race to turn the dystopian future around. We are the most capable and beautiful machines in the cosmos and bringing the planet to a place of peace, compassion & utopia is within our ability to roll up a multitude of sleeves, develop positive technologies and turn this rolling sphere around. Figuratively… although I loved that episode of Futurama, as a West Coaster I long for those (fictional) but wonderful ‘extra’ hours.

I hope you stay a while, come back for the Beautiful Machines blog posts, read my books and follow me on social media. Click the Discord link, and you’ll gain access to my server, where we talk the craft of writing, sci-fi, fantasy & Mandalorian memes.

Jaw-droppingly beautiful to an insane, kick-ass, diabolical rollercoaster.

All this and a slice of Zeus in adult incontinence wear, while android mothers tell humanity to clean its room.

The Future is Bright.

Sapha is like Wolfgang Pauli, in every laboratory he went, there was a little explosion.
