The Sixth Sun
A sweeping alternate history novel spanning more than 4,300 years into Earth’s future. The Sixth Sun examines how a handful of early decisions can reshape civilizations, cultures, and humanity itself. Built on years of research and layered storytelling, it challenges readers to consider where we are headed—and why.
Deferment
What if Americans grew tired of constant political party rivalries?
What if an Independent offered true change and was elected?
What if the new President had dirt on all Congress people and judges and could control them?
What if financial burdens were lifted off the people and they became prosperous while the President disabled Congress and the courts to shells of their former selves?
What if he became President for life, a dictator? Would the distracted people notice?
What if one man did notice? Could one man change the course of history?
TED’S WRITING PHILOSOPHY
Ted believes storytelling is not just about plot—it is about perspective. His work is shaped by a belief that warnings are often ignored, truths are uncomfortable, and stories are one of the few ways to make people truly listen.
What Readers Are Saying
Ted’s work consistently resonates with readers who value thoughtful storytelling, bold ideas, and narratives that refuse to stay on the surface.
