August/2025
I never planned to write a novel. In fact, it all started because I couldn’t draw. My original dream was to create a graphic novel — something visual, bold, and alive on the page. But that roadblock made me stop and ask myself: Where am I going to put this amazing story?
The answer was to write it. Even if it wasn’t the format I first imagined, I knew the story needed to exist. So I turned what I saw in my head into words. Every scene, every piece of dialogue, and every world I imagined became the foundation of Inheritance Protocol.
What started as an idea for panels and illustrations grew into a full sci-fi thriller — a story about legacy, power, and breaking cycles. And now, it’s out in the world as my debut novel.
This blog will be where I share that journey with you. From the inspirations behind the story, to what it’s like self-publishing as an independent author, to updates on what comes next.
I wrote Inheritance Protocol because I believed in the story — and I believe it will connect with others who are looking for something different, something real, something that pushes beyond the ordinary.
This is just the beginning — and I’m glad you’re here for it.
