Dom Merenda

Dom Merenda is a Senior Software Development Manager at Amazon by day and a speculative fiction writer by night—when his cat isn’t sprawled across the keyboard. His work explores the quiet magic hidden in overlooked places, drawing on a lifelong fascination with technology, memory, and the uncanny. When he’s not writing or wrangling code, he’s probably deep in a book, building something strange, or dreaming up new worlds over a strong cup of coffee. We Are Made of Stories Left Behind was his debut collection in fiction.

The collection invites readers into beautifully imagined worlds where the past never stays buried and the smallest choices ripple through time. We Are Made of Stories Left Behind is perfect for fans of Ted Chiang, Carmen Maria Machado, and Ray Bradbury—those who find beauty in the uncanny and meaning in the unspoken.
