"Always be a poet, even in prose." - Charles Baudelaire
I write psychological thrillers and crime disguised as romance. I always make sure to sneak a strong, athletic STEM woman somewhere into my stories, because I am one myself. We need to empower women, especially nerds like me!
I also like making my books multilingual and multicultural. Different languages, cultures, traditions, and perspectives tend to find their way into my stories. If I'm going to write about a place or a culture, I want it to feel like more than a backdrop.
I've won quite a few awards since I started writing here, and somehow, I've been featured in 12 Wattpad profiles. But it doesn't matter, does it?
I consider myself monotonous most of the time. I enjoy reading general knowledge about the world, regardless of the topic. If there's something I don't know, I'll probably end up reading about it at 2 a.m.
I garden, too. I have a lot of indoor plants, most of which are still babies because I just moved into the house. They're surviving. So far XD
