C.M. Riccio

Hi, I’m C.M. Riccio.

I’ve always been fascinated by stories about rebellion, survival, and what happens when someone finally decides to take control of their own destiny. I love writing about characters who refuse to be broken—those who stand up, push back, and fight for something bigger than themselves, no matter the cost.

My debut novel, The Serpent's Hand: Project Chimera, follows a genetically engineered assassin who was built to obey but chooses to fight back. It’s a fast-paced story about loyalty, resistance, and finding your own humanity in the middle of chaos.

When I’m not writing, I’m usually lost in a fantasy or dystopian book, dreaming up new storylines, or working through the next big plot twist for my characters. I’m always building new worlds and exploring what makes people fight, fall, and rise again.

Thanks so much for stopping by and checking out my work. If you’re into gritty, character-driven stories with heart, action, and a little bit of edge, I’d love for you to come along for the ride.
