Whether through dark, expressive drawings or grunge-inspired music, creativity was how I connected with the world. But it was writing, often funny and lighthearted stories, that truly stuck with me. Over time, my short, incomplete stories grew into longer, more meaningful works. At twenty-four, I made a decision: I would finally write something serious and finish it. It took years of starts and stops, but in 2019, I committed fully. I took time off, woke up early, and spent two focused weeks writing every day until it was done: a full-length novel and six prequels.
