Born in the late '80s, raised in the '90s, and still kicking, I’m Bijesh Nagesh, aka Joshua Mercott.

I’m a storyteller, a writer, and, by most accounts, one of the weirdest scribes you’ll ever meet.

My novels are the kind only the maddest souls might find intriguing. But hey, someone’s got to tell these tales, and they’ve apparently decided to haunt me instead of another writer. So here we are.

Writing has been my lifeline for as long as I can remember. It’s the thing that keeps me afloat in the chaotic sea of life.

Through my books, I explore the fantastical, the futuristic, and the paranormal, aiming not just to entertain but to venture into uncharted realms with my readers. After all, the Truth is ou

I just let go when I feel blocked and wait for the story to come back and say it's ready for me. It's always about the characters and their circumstances, never about the writer who is a 'messenger' at best and a 'thief' at worst.(less)

Words are the basic building blocks of communication. Music, acting and movies/plays, art in general, science in profusion... Everything starts with words. Like the primordial soup of First-Life, writers (good, bad, and average alike) work in their Word Labs to create new life. Can't get more interesting than that.(less)

Marjane Satrapi
“Once again, I arrived at my usual conclusion: one must educate oneself.”
Marjane Satrapi, Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood

Meryl Streep
“I no longer have patience for certain things, not because I’ve become arrogant, but simply because I reached a point in my life where I do not want to waste more time with what displeases me or hurts me. I have no patience for cynicism, excessive criticism and demands of any nature. I lost the will to please those who do not like me, to love those who do not love me and to smile at those who do not want to smile at me. I no longer spend a single minute on those who lie or want to manipulate. I decided not to coexist anymore with pretense, hypocrisy, dishonesty and cheap praise. I do not tolerate selective erudition nor academic arrogance. I do not adjust either to popular gossiping. I hate conflict and comparisons. I believe in a world of opposites and that’s why I avoid people with rigid and inflexible personalities. In friendship I dislike the lack of loyalty and betrayal. I do not get along with those who do not know how to give a compliment or a word of encouragement. Exaggerations bore me and I have difficulty accepting those who do not like animals. And on top of everything I have no patience for anyone who does not deserve my patience.

NOTE: She neither said nor wrote this quote. Just because you saw it on Facebook does not mean it's true. Snopes is your friend. The quote was written by José Micard Teixeira”

“Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn.

In his house at R'lyeh dead Cthulhu waits dreaming.

“We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.”
H. P. Lovecraft, The Call of Cthulhu: With a Dedication by George Henry Weiss

H.P. Lovecraft
“The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.”
H.P. Lovecraft, The Call of Cthulhu
