About Karl-Stephane Jean-Baptiste
A graduate from Pennsylvania State University.
I'm presently engaged full-time in the Medical Device industry by day and a Sci-Fi enthusiast by night. I also enjoy listening to music as much as much as I enjoy writing.
What correlation does music have with being an author? - you might ask. Well, to answer your question, they both simultaneously provide me an avenue where I can calm my thoughts and be myself. I strongly believe music and story-telling complement each other extremely well. From my point of view, they are inseparable just like the Yin and yang. Without being forceful, I naturally look for ways to incorporate a score into my stories to further flesh out the narrative.
With that said, I am currently working on the publication to my anticipated follow up novel – A.R.C Part 3.

Blog postLet’s start out by giving a round of applause to Matt Reeves and fellow cast members for delivering such a wonderful piece of art at a time when the film industry is rattled with questionable and quite appalling projects. This film, a comic book adaptation, respectfully borrows to my knowledge from multiple medium – such … Continue reading Five times Robert Pattison’s “The Batman” suit worked on screen and Five times it did not. →1 month ago Read more

Blog postThere are two things in life which are certain, death and taxes. But what if I told you this aphorism was partially false? Would you believe me? What if I told you that taxes don’t have to be certain? Would that tickle your imagination a bit? So many instances could lead to the demise of … Continue reading Fear makes us all vulnerable and highly susceptible to change →5 months ago Read more

Blog postAre we all living underwater?
Aurora has always been a favorite artist of mine ever since I discovered her song called: “Murder Song”. The tone and words articulated immediately captivated my attention for reasons that may seem trivial to some. The detailed story telling painted a gruesomely vivid imagery of “US”, citizens of this world, as emotionally damaged. Obviously you’ll argue that not all individuals are emotionally damaged and my rebuke would be to ask the 29 million people w10 months ago Read more -
Blog postThe word family for some is defined by the bonds accumulated over time with blood relatives. To others, it means the strong bonds and relations birthed and maintained with individuals who aren’t of shared descent. In both contexts, we tried our best on Friday to understand the dynamic between the two and tried to understand if one held more weight than the other. Can a bond between a mother/father and a son/daughter ever be replicated between friends?

Blog postHope this holiday has been treating you all well. Hope you all received gifts you’ve been dreaming of all year and with that satisfaction, hope you all took it upon yourselves to make someone else’s holiday just as satisfactory. My brother and I received flashlights, so we’re patiently waiting for a power outage any moment now.

Blog postAnother week, another hump day coming to a close with a flurry of snow depending on where you live. To be frank, snow has never been my favorite but I can definitely see the appeal, especially for those of you who love winter sports.
This week, we’ll be piggy backing off last week’s memo regarding the topic of never giving up. I recently picked up this book called “The purpose driven life”. At first glance, it seemed like another self-help, promise to change your life kin1 year ago Read more -
Blog postThe warm weather is slowly dissipating while winter is brazenly knocking at our doorsteps. But that’s okay, thank God for artificial heat right? Or the Romans, or Franz San Galli, or John Evelyn’s. At this point, you pick, Google can’t seem to give a clear answer.
Jokes aside, this week, we will be briefly brushing on the meaning behind the phrase – “Never giving up”.

Blog postHump day is coming to a close while thanksgiving day patiently waits around the corner. This year has been a year to remember or to forget depending on who you talk to. Many have lost while a plethora of others have gained. Tears were shed. Joyous moments were found. Yet through it all, a good majority of us will be gathering at a dinner table tomorrow to give thanks. What does it mean to give thanks? What does it mean when we say we are grateful?

Blog postSitting behind a white screen embellished with blue borders, I begin to drift once again into a headspace most would deem unhealthy or better yet, unnecessary. “Why waste any brain power thinking about philosophical things when in the grand scheme of life, they may just turn out to be as trivial as the new Smart 4K TV some of us so desperately craved for Christmas,” I catchmyself asking often.

"Is one life more precious than another?"
Stan and Gordon are lifetime best friends. Both cynical in personality, yet realist, they decide to bear the world’s problem on their shoulders as full time hackers. With one digital heist at a time, they strive to take from the corrupt in the hopes of giving back to those in need. As time elapse, their ambitions boil to uncontrollable temperatures. Desperately wanting to leave a mark on the world, they join in with other hackers akin to them to hack the federal reserves. Sadly, the heist goes south and they’re force to run leaving all they ever loved behind. Now fugitives from their own government, they jump from home to home, state to state trying to prolong their life span. However; both still young and burning with passion, they stop at nothing to undo the bountiful amount of corruption laid waste on their beloved country. One day, while working on a missing children’s case, Stan stumbles upon a secretive file dubbed A.R.C. Intrigued by its gritty content, he shares it with Gordon. Unsure of their future and with an expiration date on their life, they both elect to unravel this new mystery – The mystery of A.R.C.
