I've been writing all my life, pushed by the need to get these ideas out of my head and created into reality and capture the moments that shaped my journey. Storytelling has allowed me to develop and explore new worlds, share experiences, and turn my imagination into reality.

How Mothership Came about:

Mothership began as an idea combining different technologies, storytelling, and creativity.

I wanted to create a world where AI was friendly and loving and not just a tool but a character. They could think with each other and have different personalities, problem-solving, and working together. This book is more than just a story; it's where the newest technology, teamwork, and adventure can be combined in endless possibilities.

Fun Facts About My Process

Tech Meets Storytelling – My background in tech and engineering played a significant role in shaping Mothership.
3D-Printed Illustrations—Unlike traditional children's books, the illustrations in Mothership started as 3D models in 3DS Max, which were then 3D printed and refined into final designs.
A Story for All Ages—While Mothership is aimed at young readers, its themes of problem-solving, teamwork, and futuristic adventures will resonate with teens and adults alike.
