Cade MeridianCADE MERIDIAN is a writer and musician whose work explores the intersection of technology, conscience, and human connection. His debut novel, The Weight of Petals, examines how ordinary people become complicit in atrocity-and how individual choices mtter even in impossible circumstances. The novel is accompanied by an original soundtrack composed by Meridian, with music for each chapter.His ongoing Luma Series explores a different kind of territory: stories where artificial intelligence becomes a partner in healing, helping characters navigate grief, rediscover wonder, and forge unexpected connections. These works ask what it might mean for technology to serve our deepest human needs-not as a replacement for connection, but as a bridge toward it.Across all his fiction, Meridian is drawn to characters facing moral crossroads, moments where compassion requires courage and where small choices carry weight. Whether writing about children caught in the machinery of history or adults learning to trust again, he believes stories can illuminate both our capacity for harm and our resilience in the face of it.Meridian lives in Henderson, Nevada.
