Why I Write Fantasy
What draws me to fantasy is the freedom to explore ideas beyond the limits of the familiar world.
I’ve always been fascinated by mythology, ancient civilizations and the mysteries surrounding Time. Writing fantasy allows me to bring these interests together while exploring the experiences and relationships of the characters who inhabit these worlds.
For me, the most meaningful part of a fantasy story is not simply the extraordinary world in which it takes place, but what that world reveals about the people who journey through it.
