Personal Background 3: When I was bullied in school, I created a fantasy world as my safe space. Over the years, it grew into the story I now share in Suffering. Writing became both escape and healing. 🌌✨ #FantasyBooks #WritingCommunity #MentalHealth #booksky #bookish

Personal Background 2: A big part of writing Suffering was channelling my own experiences with mental health. This story isn’t just fantasy—it’s personal. The pain, the struggle, the hope—it's all real.

Personal Background 1:
I’ve been building the world, characters, and story behind Suffering and the series for over 15 years. What started as scattered notes and sketches has grown into a full dark fantasy series I’m proud to share. This is just the beginning.
