About the Author

I'm absolutely obsessed with the captivating realm of mythology. Since I was a little kid, I've been completely enthralled by the tales of gods, heroes, and fantastical creatures from cultures. My journey into the world of mythology started with bedtime stories and has grown into an enduring passion that will last a lifetime.


My expertise in this field is deeply rooted in my genuine love for the subject matter. I've ventured to archaeological sites, wandered through ancient temples, and sat spellbound as indigenous storytellers shared their ancient tales. These incredible experiences have enriched my understanding of mythology in ways no textbook could.


I write about mythology to share the enchantment and wisdom that lies within these timeless stories. Mythology isn't just a relic of the past; it's a mirror that reflects our shared human experience, shedding light on the depths of our psyche and the mysteries of our existence. Through my books and articles, I strive to make mythology accessible to everyone, whether you're a seasoned enthusiast or a curious newcomer, and to ignite a passion for these ancient tales.


When I'm not busy writing or researching, you'll find me fully immersed in the natural world, drawing inspiration from the landscapes and creatures that have also shaped the myths we hold dear. I'm an avid hiker and a lover of the arts. I genuinely believe that creativity and a connection to nature are vital ingredients for understanding and appreciating the mythical narratives that have stood the test of time.


My ultimate hope is that my work not only entertains and educates but also sparks meaningful conversations and connections among readers. I wholeheartedly encourage you to dive into the pages of my books, embark on mythological adventures with me, and join me in unraveling the mysteries and wonders of the world's mythologies. Together, let's keep the ancient flames of storytelling alive and uncover the timeless truths woven into the tapestry of myth.
