About the author
The author's childhood was intriguing and truly unique. Instead of the typical childhood experiences that involve travelling abroad, he found his fascination right in his neighbourhood, exploring fields, bushes, toolsheds, and even mysterious underground tunnels. His happiest moments were, and still are, spent tinkering with ideas, delving into science, and exploring new possibilities.
While cycling, the author's mind constantly churns with fresh ideas. These ideas often manifest unexpectedly, pouring onto a page or into a sketch, bringing a sense of the unexpected, the unique, and the creative. Even today, he daydreams about intense battles and complex weaponry in the innocent setting of a child's scout cave.
Diagrams, timelines, cross-sections, sketches, and intricate details of sinister and hidden concepts and ideas have always fascinated this author. His relentless pursuit of decoding and encoding new mysteries never ceases. He thoroughly investigates and explores extravagant thoughts, which he then incorporates into children's books, stories, and articles. Furthermore, he profoundly appreciates philosophy and often incorporates philosophers' perspectives, articles, intriguing narratives, and poetry into his writing.
Academic and research work is also special in this author's heart. His forte lies in providing simple yet practical explanations within an engaging context. In short, he is anything but an ordinary thinker – he is a lifelong scholar and dedicated teacher.
