AGALINThe Chronomandate

Suchart Otaivites, writing as S. Otaivites, is a Thai author and the creator of AGALIN, an epic fantasy series blending mythology, speculative science, and Eastern philosophy. He began writing in November 2025 and published his debut novel, AGALIN: The Chronomandate, in August 2026.

He holds a PhD in Interpersonal Communication from Ohio University, a Master of Business Administration (MBA), and a bachelor's degree in Journalism and Mass Communication. His professional experience spans banking, marketing, human resources, consulting, and entrepreneurship. He currently runs a bakery business in Thailand while developing his new path as an independent author.

Throughout his career, Otaivites has been interested in how people connect, understand one another, and respond to change. These interests have accompanied him through different professional roles and now inform his storytelling.

His decision to begin writing emerged during a period of personal and professional change that led him to reconsider the direction of his life. Reflecting on the person he had been, the person he was, and the person he might become, he began to recognize the creative possibilities of an imagination he had carried since childhood but had never fully explored.

After spending decades investing his energy and resources in his professional life, writing offered him a new way to draw on his experiences and create something meaningful. A defining moment in the origin of AGALIN occurred beside his mother's hospital bed, when a realization prompted him to write down the word that would become the name of his series.

As a Thai author writing in English, Otaivites is beginning to connect with readers across cultures while continuing to learn the practical demands of independent publishing. He values thoughtful reader feedback and the opportunity to discover how others respond to the world he has created.

His ambition is to build a sustainable life around writing, with space for conversation, creativity, and community. He hopes one day to welcome fellow writers and readers to his home in Thailand, sharing stories and something he has baked.

For Otaivites, publishing AGALIN marks the beginning of a new chapter in his own life—one shaped by experience, uncertainty, and the decision to give his imagination a voice.
