I fell in love with writing at a young age. When I was fourteen, I wrote my first book by hand. At sixteen, I wrote a movie script that I sent to a Hollywood address I found in an old magazine. I was a dreamer back then and, to a large extent, still am.

I have come to realise that my dilemma as a writer is navigating and balancing the constraints of my reality and the unboundedness of my imagination. This dilemma is seldom a matter of fact versus fiction but rather of competing fictions. 

In my writings, I like to explore and play with all kinds of fiction: the fiction we are told, the fiction we tell ourselves, the fiction we label 'reality', the fiction we label 'fiction'. 

Like all writers, I compose in this world of fiction. Words are my instruments of choice. I use them to create notes, melodies, chords, and basslines—each carefully crafted to entice a specific emotional human response: fear, exhilaration, love, or sadness. In a sense, I believe that, as a writer, I am a composer of the soundtrack of our lives. And that is a responsibility I take seriously.
