Intro to my book | The Book I Had to Write ✦

This is a no-spoilers introduction to my novel-in-progress, Project Storm. In this video, I’m sharing the heart of the story — the themes, the world, the questions it asks, and why this book wouldn’t let me go. At its core, this is a sci-fi fantasy that explores what it means to be human, how far someone might go to become something more, and how ancient prophecies could manifest in a technologically advanced society. You’ll see the inspirations behind the story, including my Pinterest mood boards, genre influences, and the elements that shape the world and characters — from slow-burn romance and LGBTQ+ representation to morally gray choices and blurred lines between good and evil. This project is currently in its first draft, and I’m excited (and a little terrified) to finally start sharing it. 💬 Let me know in the comments what intrigued you most — the themes, the world, or the questions this story is asking. Wherever you are in your story, keep going.
