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.

I'll be thrilled if you would subscribe to my bi-monthly newsletter:

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

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

A lot of people have told me lately that they don't have time to read. Maybe because I just published my book, and they are trying to be nice.. At the same time, these people can accurately update me on the events of last night's "Wednesday", or another trendy Netflix series.
