Hello.

Ithaka O. writes speculative fiction that blurs the line between the fantastic and the mundane.

This was Ithaka’s home once upon a time. Now I have a new pen name, Wynn Ray.

Ithaka O. is the earlier incarnation of Wynn Ray.

Both Ithaka and Wynn use speculative elements in their stories—for example, other dimensions. The strange and the ordinary are never separate. Sometimes, the most fantastical settings and events are the most realistic, because they show the inner lives of the characters as specific and lived-in.

Meanwhile, Ithaka and Wynn are also different. Wynn’s stories tend to touch “the here and now” more directly, while the genre elements in Ithaka’s stories are stronger. Ithaka also has a feral innocence, an existential rawness that has been transformed into a more controlled intensity in Wynn’s work.

If you enjoy Ithaka’s stories, you’ll likely enjoy Wynn’s, and vice versa.

For details about Ithaka’s stories, visit this page on their shared home.

I (who is Wynn who is Ithaka) also have a newsletter where I share updates and promotions on past, present, and future stories. I hope you’ll join me there and continue reading.

Thank you for visiting!
