I'm Auri Vega, and I write stories where the bizarre and the real collide-usually with fries. I've always been drawn to the strange edges of reality: alien planets, broken systems, moral gray zones, and the question of what it means to be human when everything around you is... not.

Galactic Bites is my debut novel, born out of too much thinking about food, capitalism, and how easy it is to lose ourselves in what comforts us-even when it's killing us slowly.

When I'm not writing, I'm usually bed rotting, people-watching, or wondering how we ended up here (as a species). I like my fiction speculative, my humor dark, and my fries hot.
