Let’s be honest — change is rarely comfortable. It’s the liminal space between what was, what didn’t materialize and what could, a place where nostalgia and anticipation wrestle for the upper hand.

For years, saphaburnell.com has been my digital sanctum: a place for Beautiful Machines, cyberpunk dreams, mythpunk poetry, and the odd philosophical ramble about the fate of humanity and the ethics of AI. It’s been a home for my words, my art, and my relentless belief that we can turn the dystopian tide if we roll up our sleeves and build something better.

But the world—and my worlds—don’t stand still. Today, I’m inviting you to step into a new chapter with me: the pre-launch of Blade and Banter Media, and the transformation of saphaburnell.com into a creative nexus for everything I do, from now self-published novels to video games, TTRPGs, and audio drama.
