Beware!
I read AND write everything dystopian and post-apocalyptic.

If you are still here.
I am a molecular biologist with a Ph.D. who likes to write down the stories that form in my head. The stories are mainly in the realm of dystopia and science fiction. On a personal level, I love all things space, coffee, travel, and sports.
My family is everything to me.

Books vs. Screens: Who Will Win the Battle for Our Attention?

Bookworms unite! Society's love for reading isn't dead yet. I hope.
