Why I Wrote These Books (And Why I Used a Different Name)

My name is M.G. Govia.

But the books I’m releasing this Easter?
They aren’t by M.G.

They’re by Micah Austin—a name pulled from two lives:
Micah 7:8, the verse that taught me to rise, even when I no longer believed.
And Austin, my brother, whose life and loss reshaped everything.

These books aren’t just stories. They’re the duality of my voice.
M.G. builds systems. Writes policy. Thinks in frameworks.
Micah listens. Wonders. Doubts.
And scribbles something like truth in the margins of a spiral.

📘 Echoes Without a Name is fiction—but not false.
It’s about questioning power. Resisting myth. Choosing to be a person, not a symbol.
It’s about Kael, but it’s also about us.

🌀 Questions of Doubt is the companion. The whispers.
111 questions gathered from the ruins of belief.
Some childlike. Some subversive. All human.

I released these together because they are two halves of the same thing: The story that sparks doubt
And the questions that carry it forward.

So no—this Easter isn’t about resurrection.
It’s about remembrance—of what we once dared to ask… and still can.

— M.G. (and Micah)
