About the author

I have been daydreaming my entire life, oftentimes to the consternation of my parents and teachers. I would frequently go off into my own worlds and get lost for hours on end. Sometimes I'd draw what I see, other times write it down. I've had the benefit of growing up with like-minded friends and we would often find ourselves creating wonderful and complex universes and stories together. Those are my best memories of childhood.

I am avidly interested in everything around me. How stuff is made, how nature works, science and history, even social interactions, all of it fascinates me. Hopefully, I have been able to meld my expansive interests with my lifetime of daydreaming and creativity to do my stories justice.

[Michelle Welch · Rating 5 out of 5]

A cross between the matrix, every vampire book you have ever read, Avatar, and the best science fiction you can imagine. You will not be able to put this book down. Eagerly awaiting the 2nd book.
