Growing up, the author's Mother nurtured their love of books, fantasy, sci-fi, games, etc. After their mother got sick and died while they were still a child, they lost that nurturing guiding hand and have struggled to find their place in the world. After a few decades of being lost and overcoming hurdles, the Author has finally started to find their way in applying themselves to achieving their goals and dreams. Coming from a Queer SWANA background, and being raised in the Muslim community with a rather eventful life including struggling with mental health, their writing reflects a lot of their personal experiences and interests.
