Writing a novel and having it published in book form has always been one of my major life goals, lingering in the back of my mind. However, my biggest challenge has always been finding something original to write about, something that could also capture my own interest.

​

Writing, after all, is largely about creating a book you’d want to read yourself, but one that hasn’t yet been written by someone else.

​

Throughout the process, there have been many more or less half-hearted attempts, but one day, the plot for my debut novel *MALI* suddenly became crystal clear to me.

*MALI* is a piece of dystopian climate fiction, and it’s a book I personally needed to read.
