Why am I passionate about this?

Growing up, books werenā€™t just something I readā€”they were portals to futures filled with wonder, adventure, and possibility. There was something captivating about science fiction in particular: it was more than just space battles and shiny gadgets.

Looking back, a few books and authors had a lasting impact on me, not just as a reader but as a writer. Iā€™ll walk you through five that really stood out and shaped the way I see the world and, ultimately, likely inspired my series.
