Author bio

**"There’s a moment in every story—fictional or real—where everything changes. A moment where you either step into the unknown or let fear chain you to what’s familiar. For the longest time, I thought those moments belonged to other people. The ones who ‘had it all figured out.’ The ones who fit neatly into the world’s expectations. But then I realized something. What if I was never meant to fit? What if everything I’ve been through—every doubt, every failure, every time I felt like I wasn’t ‘enough’—wasn’t a reason to stop, but proof that I was being forged for something greater? And so, I write. Not just to tell a story, but to build a world. To challenge the myths we’ve been told about power, control, and what it really means to awaken. My book isn’t just about vampires, witches, and immortals—it’s about us. About the war between fear and freedom. The hunger for truth in a world that wants us asleep. And if there’s one thing I know for certain— I was never meant to stay asleep. I used to be afraid of being seen. The thought of putting myself out there—really putting myself out there—felt impossible. What if I fail? What if people don’t get it? What if I’m just another dreamer shouting into the void? But then something shifted. I looked at my life, at the stories inside me, and I realized
 I have something to say. And it matters. This book—this saga—is bigger than just a ‘vampire story.’ It’s about control vs. liberation. It’s about waking up to the forces that shape our world and daring to challenge them. It’s about shaking the foundation of what we believe is possible. It’s about me. And if you’ve ever felt like there’s something bigger waiting for you—if you’ve ever felt like you were meant for more—then maybe, in some way, it’s about you too."**
