I write eco-adventure stories for children aged 8–12, blending nature and imagination to show how courage, curiosity, and care can change the world.
My books — including The Lost Dragonflies and The Songbird Army — explore trust, friendship, and the invisible threads that bind people and nature together.
Through storytelling, I hope to inspire the next generation of readers to see the wonder in the wild, wherever they live.
