Hi, I’m Othello Cody Verrocchio — storyteller, sauce-slinger, and chronic creative shapeshifter.
I write with fire in my pen and spice on my breath — literally. When I’m not deep in the pages of my latest book or shaping chapters of my autobiography, I’m fermenting chili sauces hot enough to make a ghost pepper blush. Whether it’s The Fire Eaters cookbook, my weekly newsletter, or my next short story drop, everything I do comes seasoned with intent, heat, and a touch of calculated madness.
Behind the scenes, I operate under a few aliases. As Otto Brinkmeier, I build the systems — landing pages, launch plans, and email automations. As Lazar Mendicant, I handle the showmanship — a velvet-gloved carnival barker welcoming you into the curated chaos of PlebWave HQ.
My work lives at the crossroads of fiction, food, devotionals, tech, and DIY indie publishing. If you like your creativity raw, your writing honest, and your chili dangerously hot, you’re in the right place.
My process? Fully transparent and proudly original. I write first — every idea, every phrase, every weird metaphor comes from my heart, my head, and a lifetime of obsession. I’m the topic maker, not the content copier. Once the bones are on the page, I bring in the tools: Grammarly handles the commas I keep misplacing, and ChatGPT helps me find the rhythm, flow, and polish — a creative co-pilot, not a ghostwriter. Think of AI as my editorial sous-chef: it doesn’t cook the meal, but it helps taste the sauce.
I use AI to enhance, not invent. I dictate the flavours. I call the shots. And I don’t pretend otherwise
