Antologia Aeternum is a contemporary fiction fantasy series set in 2019 New York. It follows Aiden Riordan, a reluctant protagonist drawn into a hidden world of magic, secret societies, and a dangerous adversary bold enough to speak truth to power.
I have a very specific vision for the stories I want to tell—and how I want to tell them. I wasn’t willing to let that vision be diluted or reshaped to fit a broader market. A traditional publisher would be unlikely to support a project with such a narrow target audience.
The plan is for the main series to span three to four books, followed by a prequel arc comprising another three to four installments, depending on the scope and complexity of the story. As of July 2025, the second book is approximately 25% complete.
M.M. Louie is a fifth-generation Asian American and an artist and educator by training, holding a master’s degree in teaching from an American college. His path to the classroom—and eventually the page—was deeply shaped by a childhood marked by Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). Rather than allowing those early hardships to define him, Louie transformed them into purpose. He pursued a career in education with the heartfelt intention of being the kind of mentor and advocate he once needed: someone who could recognize quiet struggles and respond with compassion, consistency, and hope.
In the spring of 2022, following an unexpected and painful departure from the teaching profession, Louie turned to writing as a way to navigate loss and rediscover his voice. What began as a personal act of reflection quickly grew into a deeper creative pursuit. Today, he writes to illuminate emotional truth, explore the complexities of human resilience, and honor the enduring power of the written word.
