I am a software engineer with a constant need to create something.

I grew up on stories about Harry Potter and Terry Pratchett's books, but it never occurred to me that I might start writing myself. That changed when my daughter discovered the magic of books. We began inventing our own stories together — and I found a joy I had not known anywhere else.

I started writing books for my two daughters. We read to the younger one before bed; the older one pushes me every day to write another chapter — so she has something to read after school. Their enthusiasm keeps me going and helps me grow.
