Hello readers, Halloween began over two thousand years ago, when the Celts celebrated Samhain, a night when spirits were said to walk among the living. Bonfires burned, masks were worn, and stories were told to keep the darkness at bay.

For three months now, I’ve been writing Ayra (a Sci fi dystopian novel) on the metro. Fifteen minutes at a time. No outline. No plan.

The last few months have been tough. I won’t sugarcoat it—there was a stretch where I genuinely didn’t know if I could keep writing. I was exhausted, mentally and emotionally. The words weren’t flowing. I wasn’t excited. And worst of all, I felt guilty about it, like I was letting everyone down—including myself. So IContinue reading "For the Burnt-Out Creative: How I Got My Spark Back"

Fall of Titan, the first book in my sci-fi fantasy series, came to me unexpectedly on during Christmas holidays in 2018 I had just published Haunted, and I was still deep in grief after losing my parents. That week, I stayed home alone, ignoring the texts and calls from friends inviting me to Christmas andContinue reading "Fall of Titan – how the best stories just come to you… sometimes!"

When people ask why I write sci-fi fantasy, I never have just one answer. The truth is, I love the way the genre lets me mix the impossible with the deeply human. There’s something magical about blending science and mythology—spaceships and prophecies, AI and ancient gods. I can explore what makes us human by puttingContinue reading "Why I Write Sci-Fi Fantasy (and Why I Keep Coming Back)"

Writing a book—especially a whole series—can feel like climbing a mountain in the dark. This is even after publishing over 10 books! But two books has motivated me to changed the way I approach productivity: Atomic Habits by James Clear and The Productive Fiction Writer by Tracey Devlyn.
