Where unease meets empathy

T C Howard writes about surveillance, control and the small compromises we make when refusing feels harder than accepting.

Before turning to fiction, T C Howard worked in network security — a background that surfaces throughout their writing as an interest in the systems we trust and the quiet ways they can be turned against us. They write with the perspective of someone living with disability and chronic illness, bringing that same attentiveness to characters whose bodies and circumstances don't always cooperate with the systems around them.

The fiction is atmospheric and psychological, often placing intimate human fears against unsettling technology or altered realities. The non-fiction comes from a different direction but carries the same interest in interior experience: how people adapt, endure and preserve a sense of self.
