I know for me, I started writing my fantasy series THE CLASH OF KINGDOMS because I felt a strong urgency to write down the story that had been invading my dreams for years. It ended up becoming my lifeline and an escape from the crushing reality I existed in. I needed it for survival and to keep myself sane. It may not have been the healthiest approach at times, but it became cathartic. I found victory in my own writing—through my own characters’ journeys. I learned to stand up for myself, let my voice be heard, and forgive those who wronged me.

The above quote was and is a truth for me. Fantasy transformed my reality; it saved me. Every time I open my laptop to write, I am delving into a fantasy world that helped me grow stronger. It brought healing in my life; and I hope it will do the same for my readers.

My debut YA fantasy, THE CONJURER’S CURSE by Monarch Press comes out 12/06/22! Experience 17 year-old Rowan’s incredible journey to find his homeland and to break his life-draining curse.
