Through my work with young military recruits and my experience running an international school for middle and high school students, I've spent years observing how adolescents navigate systems larger than themselves—institutions that demand loyalty, obedience, and sacrifice, often before they fully understand the cost. That tension between personal identity and imposed expectation is at the heart of my debut novel No Sky But Red. This novel is the culmination of my passion for writing, channeling years of storytelling experience into a dystopian adventure that is meaningful and relevant to the next generation of readers.
