The idea came from people I once knew whose lives were filled with chaos, survival, and raw emotion. Their stories stayed with me, and I wanted to capture the complexity of those experiences in a way that felt real and human.

Writing has always been my way of escaping reality. As a child, I found comfort in creating sci-fi fantasies where anything was possible. As I got older and life became more complicated, writing turned into my sanctuary. It became the place I could return to during difficult times, where I could find peace and familiarity in the worlds I built.

The best thing about being a writer is being able to turn real life into reflection.

I usually just take a step back from the work and focus on something completely different. It’s not that the ideas stop coming, it’s just that my mind needs a break. Once I let it drift and reset, the creativity eventually finds its way back.

I’d travel into Dan Brown’s world, where Robert Langdon goes on those incredible thriller adventures set in real-world locations. I’ve always admired how his stories blend mystery, history, and intellect, and I’d love to experience that kind of high-stakes chase through ancient cities and secret societies.

A lot of my life has been a mystery in itself. Coming from the world I come from, there are stories, secrets, and moments that most people will never see or understand. I could easily spin a plot for a book just by reflecting on my past life in the underworld and the lessons that came with it.
