The Journey Behind My Stories

I’ve always believed that the best stories don’t just come to us — they chase us down. They linger in our minds long before we ever put them to paper, whispering in quiet moments, tugging at us in ways we can’t ignore.
For me, that’s exactly how Chasing Kane and Chasing Avi were born. They weren’t just ideas — they were pieces of my own experiences, shaped by the people I’ve met, the places I’ve traveled, and the emotions I’ve carried.
When I started writing, I didn’t set out to create a series. I simply wanted to tell a story about resilience, risk, and the complicated choices that come when life demands more of us than we thought we could give. But once Kane’s journey was out in the world, I realized there was another voice waiting to be heard — Avi’s. And that’s when the second book came alive.
Writing for me has never been about perfectly plotting everything from the start. It’s more like surfing — catching a wave of inspiration, riding it as far as I can, and trusting that the next one will come when it’s ready. (And yes, sometimes that means a lot of paddling in between.)
If you’ve read either of the books, you already know they’re more than thrillers — they’re about connection. The kind that can change your direction entirely.
To everyone who’s taken the time to read, review, or even just send me a message about how the story touched them — thank you. Authors often write alone, but stories truly live when they’re shared.
Until the next chapter,
