Why I write

Because silence protects the wrong things.
Because change begins with awareness — and stories.
Because our future, their future, is on the line.

I write to name what isn’t working.
I write to put words into readers’ hands — words that spark conversations and ignite souls.
I write to leave readers changed.

Books that wake you up — and stay with you.

These aren’t just pages. They’re quiet revolutions in print.

Obsolete: The Education Wake-Up Call

We’re still preparing kids for a world that no longer exists.

AI is rewriting childhood faster than we can see.
Schools cling to old systems.
Children are caught in between.

This is the wake-up call.

For parents. For teachers. For anyone who refuses to let education fail our kids.

Quick. Powerful. Thought-provoking.
For the world they’ll inherit.

“The glow keeps calling. So does the world they were made for.”

A piercing, poetic reminder of what childhood was meant to be: full of presence, play, wonder, risk, and becoming — and of what truly helps them grow, imagine, and stay human.

Simple. Beautiful. True.
For anyone who still believes childhood deserves more than a glowing screen.
For anyone ready to choose presence over programming.

One child. One choice. One chance to stay human.
