Two kinds of journeys live here. In WANDEROUS, I travel the outer world, covering everything from temples to tropical islands and back-alley noodle shops. ✈️
In my Tropical Sci‑Fi audiobooks, I travel the inner landscapes, building lush, island-inspired worlds out of everything those travels taught me. Same voyager, two horizons. 🛸
The Truth Beyond the Sky — Free Sci‑Fi Audiobook
The complete free audiobook of The Truth Beyond the Sky, my first novel and the beginning of the Tropical Sci‑Fi series, now with over 460 ratings on Amazon.
It’s an earlier, faster, and charmingly scrappier story than the upcoming KALEIDOSCOPIC series, and I produced it using carefully-tuned open-source voice technology and edited the whole project myself. This is the Data Leak Edition: full-length, free, no signup required. Just hit play. 🎧
A new chapter releases every day through mid-August, all 38 of them, so subscribe and follow along as the galaxy gets stranger the deeper you look.
A fun connection for readers of the new trilogy: this is the very novel that Zahn writes during the events of The Kaleidoscopic Universe. It’s a story within that larger story, hence why this new edition features journal entries from Zahn between the chapters.

WANDEROUS — Travel Podcast
In WANDEROUS, I search for wonder in every corner of the world. From ancient temples to bustling sushi bars, I dig into what’s truly captivating (and what you can skip), plus money-saving tips gleaned from hard-won experience.
Journey along & get into some trouble on the way. 😉 (Paused while I finish the trilogy. It’ll be back when there’s room for it.)

Here’s the frank version: this isn’t a content subscription. I’m not famous, and I’m not going to pretend a schedule of posts is worth your money. This is patronage in the older sense of the word.
THE KALEIDOSCOPIC UNIVERSE launches in February 2027. It’s my seventh book and the first in a new trilogy. As far as I can tell, it’s the first time a Vipassana course has been featured in a Sci‑Fi novel, let alone woven together with Hawaiian healing traditions.
For $5/month you get the view from the other side of the world: cover art in progress, selected early chapters, and honest glimpses of what building a Sci‑Fi trilogy actually looks like. Plus the full archive: the complete text of all three Ten Thousand Hours in Paradise books, exclusive interviews, unreleased adventure photography and video, and a genuinely fun community of listeners. No fixed schedule. When there’s something real, you get it first.
And at $20 and up, your name goes in the book — plus podcasts too spicy for the public.
