R. Wesley Dalton writes apocalyptic science fiction and fantasy that uses fractured worlds to reveal what survives inside people. His work explores the human psyche under pressure, the cost of endurance, and how trauma reshapes identity, memory, and belonging. After living in different parts of the United States, he settled in the Pacific Northwest, where the region’s stark weather and wild landscapes continue to influence the atmosphere of his stories. When he isn’t writing, he’s usually outside hiking with his dog and gathering the raw details that make a world feel real.
