About S.K. Asante
Short bio
S.K. Asante is an author, podcaster, and maker of helpful, practical Excel-based tools. With a background in Nursing, Anaesthesia, and Education, Asante takes both careful science and ordinary human limits seriously, and is sceptical of advice that sounds good but does not survive a hard week. Cypress Quill Media is where those threads come together: novels that earn their tension through patience and detail, a podcast grounded in medical research that prefers compact episodes over heroic ones, and digital tools designed to assist you. Based in the United Kingdom.

I'm an author, podcaster, and maker of helpful, practical Excel-based tools. My background is in Nursing, Anaesthesia, and Education. These have taught me to take both careful science and ordinary human limits seriously, and to be sceptical of advice that sounds good but does not survive a hard week.
Cypress Quill Media is where I bring those threads together: novels that try to earn their tension through patience and detail, a podcast that relies on medical research and prefers compact episodes over heroic ones, and digital tools designed to assist you.
I write from the UK. Most of what I publish takes medical research and brings it to everyday people in a language that is easy to understand. If that sounds like the kind of company you would like to keep, you are very welcome here.
