It’s hard to believe that I’ve dedicated the past decade of my life to the creation of the Shadow Realm series. What started as a passion project has blossomed into a six-book chronicle, with the highly anticipated final installment, book #6, scheduled for release in March of this year.  Reflecting on the journey of writing this series, one of the most striking things is how much my process and style have evolved. When I look back at the early drafts, the development in my chapter structure is particularly noticeable. I attribute a significant part of this evolution to my time writing on platforms like Wattpad. Initially, influenced by the common reader preference there, I tended to write much shorter chapters.

  The quest to secure a literary agent often feels akin to a mythological challenge: a near-impossible task of trying to bottle lightning while simultaneously navigating a densely packed, competitive marketplace. My personal journey with The Shadow Realm Chronicles has been a crucible forged in a potent mix of unwavering persistence and the quiet, persistent sting of hundreds of rejections. I have dedicated countless, solitary hours to meticulously researching agencies, poring over their submission guidelines, and refining my pitch to ensure my unique paranormal world aligns perfectly with their stated interests and visions. Despite this exhaustive preparation, the process remains an arduous, frustratingly slow uphill battle.
