Note: This site is currently under reconstruction from Mystic Anomaly into The Anomalous Press.
The Anomalous Press is an independent writing imprint built for people who think in layers. The works published here move between rigorous ideas, practical wellbeing, imaginative storytelling and honest personal reflection. One single author voice cannot carry all of that responsibly without blurring purpose and tone. The Anomalous Press exists to keep each lane clear while still allowing the full range of thought and lived experience to be expressed under one umbrella.
The press was created from a simple observation, that is, human life does not fit neatly into one category. Intellectual inquiry can feel essential especially when psychology, philosophy, consciousness and metaphysics overlap. Practical support can feel equally essential when a person is trying to stay regulated, functional and steady in everyday life. Creative work often needs freedom from explanation, rules and educational framing. Personal writing can hold the human reality behind everything else including struggle, progress and the messy parts that are not visible in published work.
A four-name structure keeps those functions separate and readable. Each pen name acts like a clear label for readers. The goal is trust, clarity of purpose and ethical boundaries especially when writings focus on trauma, wellbeing or sensitive lived experience. The press is not built to perform certainty. The work is built to explore, to be useful, and to stay honest about what it is and what it is not.
The Anomalous Press began as a rebrand from Mystic Anomaly. The current imprint name reflects the same spirit of inquiry while presenting the work in a more grounded and organised form.
The founder’s academic and practical background informs the academic and wellbeing lanes of the press. Their credentials include a Bachelor’s degree in Metaphysical Science, a post-secondary Nurse’s Aide certificate and OSHA Health & Safety training. A Master’s degree in Metaphysical Science is currently in progress. These qualifications support a writing approach that values structured learning, human care and responsibility especially when the subject matter touches wellbeing, lived experience and the realities of daily functioning.
Why Four Pen Names Exist
The pen names are not masks. Each one is a dedicated channel with its own purpose, tone and reader expectation.
From the founder’s perspective, academic writing benefits from disciplined structure and careful reasoning while leaving room for revision. Wellbeing writing needs grounded language and practical frameworks that can be used in daily life. Creative writing needs space to experiment and to let meaning emerge through atmosphere, symbolism and story. Personal writing needs room to be human, direct and honest without being framed as instruction.
This separation protects the readers’ experience. This separation also protects the writer’s boundaries. Each pen name makes it clear what kind of engagement a reader is entering.
The Authors of The Anomalous Press
Anisha Deon, B. MSc. (Academic writer)
Anisha Deon is the academic pen name used under The Anomalous Press for interdisciplinary essays and papers across psychology, philosophy, consciousness, metaphysics and the human experience. The work published under this name explores how different intellectual systems affect one another, how viewpoints collide or align and how humans can be understood through multiple disciplines at once.
The tone remains formal and readable with the aim of being intellectually stimulating without becoming inaccessible. Claims are treated with care. Conclusions remain provisional when the subject demands it. Comparative analysis is central alongside exploration that stays reasonable and grounded. Absolute truth-claims are not the goal.
When sources are used, references follow APA conventions and appear in a dedicated References section.
At its core, this work is about exploration of ideas and theories in an interdisciplinary way.
Anoma Katse (Holistic life coaching & wellbeing writer)
Anoma Katse is the wellbeing writer and holistic life coach pen name under The Anomalous Press. The writings published under this name are designed to support people in everyday life in a practical way with a focus on staying more regulated, functional and stable.
The approach is to be simply written and educational without turning into clinical language. Tools, structures and real-life strategies come first. Lived experience informs the work alongside ongoing learning, with an emphasis on what helps people feel steadier daily. The Influencer-style wellbeing framing is heavily avoided. Additionally, fluffy, performative spirituality is not part of this lane.
All content under this name is educational and is not a substitute for professional medical or mental health care.
At its core, this work is about helping people in their daily lives in a practical way.
Anomarilius (Creative writer)
Anomarilius is the creative pen name under The Anomalous Press used for fiction and poetry. The work leans strongly into science fiction and fantasy often blending the two with an interest in originality, atmosphere and idea-driven storytelling.
This lane exists for creativity that is allowed to be unusual. Academic structure and educational framing do not guide this work. Meaning is invited through story, imagery and emotional texture with space for the reader to interpret and explore.
At its core, this work is about creativity in unique ways.
Cryptic Anomaly (Personal writer)
Cryptic Anomaly is the personal pen name under The Anomalous Press. This space shows the person behind the academic, wellbeing and creative works with writings that stay close to lived reality and the day-to-day human experiences.
The writer’s tone is open and honest, sometimes raw, and not written as a guide. The intention is connection; not instruction. Posts may include the realities of living with low vision due to Retinitis Pigmentosa and experiences connected to C-PTSD and PMDD alongside the ordinary pressures and patterns of life that exist behind published work. The focus remains personal with boundaries that keep the lane true to its purpose.
At the core, this writer shares their personal life as a behind-the-scenes view of the other pen names including what is dealt with daily as a human amongst everything else.
What Readers Can Expect
The Anomalous Press functions as an organised archive of distinct genres of writing. Each pen name offers a different entry point. Readers who value rigorous interdisciplinary inquiry can follow Anisha Deon’s writings while others who need practical support for everyday wellbeing can follow Anoma Katse’s writings. Those who prefer fiction, fantasy and/or poetic work can keep up-to-date with Anomarilius whereas, if there are readers who want the human story behind everything, they can read all Cryptic Anomaly’s writings.
The imprint exists to explore ideas deeply, to support practical living, to create freely and to speak honestly from lived experience with clear boundaries that protect both the writer and reader.
