About Rowan Ashmark
Rowan Ashmark writes science fiction where the bravest choice is often the most careful one. The ARES Continuum centres on a humanitarian/rescue mandate inside a spacefaring society that fears what it can’t control. Stories are procedure-literate, character-driven, and built on a locked Lore Bible for long-term continuity—designed for readers who love to invest in a world.
Deliverables in progress:
- The Orphan — a high-tempo rescue novella that introduces ARES and the Concord.
- Vesta Trilogy — three novels escalating the rescue mission into a civilisation-scale test of duty vs. fear.
What to expect: clean prose, zero technobabble walls, grounded tactics, and emotionally honest stakes. What I’m seeking: the right partners for representation, publication, and cross-media development.
If that’s you, I’d value the conversation.
Values
- Human first: character over spectacle.
- Procedural clarity: realism without jargon walls.
- Compassion under fire: care is never weak.
- Continuity: canon that rewards careful readers.
