I've always been a daydreamer. The kind of kid who'd shut the bedroom door, lose track of time, and act out entire movie scenes in their head. While other kids played outside, I built worlds inside my imagination, letting stories unfold like magic behind my eyes. Writing came naturally, it was my escape, my joy, my quiet rebellion. But reading? That was another story.


Growing up with ADHD and dyslexia, diving into books felt more like a battle than a break. I struggled to stay focused, to keep up, to feel like literature was made for someone like me. But when I turned sixteen, something clicked. I found my rhythm, my passion. Stories stopped being something I survived and became something I devoured. I fell in love with books, especially the ones that lit a fire in me. The ones with heroes I wanted to be. The ones that moved fast and burned bright.


But even then, something was missing. The stories I loved were never quite built for


minds like mine. They wandered too slowly. They explained too much or sometimes not enough. So I started writing the book I wanted to read. One that held my attention. One that didn't waste a single word. One where the pulse never dropped
At first, it was just for me. A side project. A secret joy. But when I shared it with friends and family, their excitement was louder than my doubts. They believed in the story, and in me.


They pushed me to dream bigger. To publish. To help readers like me, those whose brains move fast and think differently, feel seen, included, and fully immersed in a world built with them in mind.


I don't just write for entertainment, I write for the wild-hearted daydreamers, the neurodivergent minds, the ones who crave stories that don't slow down. If just one reader picks up my book and feels like it was written for them, then every late night, every revision, every risk, makes it all worth it.
