G’day, I’m Ishmael A Soledad from Brisbane in Australia. I’ve been writing science fiction since the late 1990’s, the vast majority of it short and flash fiction.

In early 2018 I started writing my debut novel, Sha’Kert: End of Night, and in 2021 it was published through Temple Dark Books , Ireland’s premier speculative fiction house. Sha’Kert: End of Night was followed in April 2025 by the first volume in my new science fiction hexalogy, Descent: Diathesis, also through Temple Dark Books of Ireland.

This site’s here principally here to let you know what’s going on in my writing life, specifically progress with my new science fiction hexalogy, Descent.

To keep up to date with progress, news, and perhaps some bonus material, keep an eye on this website and my twitter feed. Better yet, follow this page to make sure you’re first to know.
