What happens when a cybersecurity specialist turns his recurring dreams into an epic fantasy world?
In this episode, I sit down with Jamari Torian, IT specialist, cybersecurity grad student, and author of the Sunder World series, to talk about the balance between technology and creativity. Jamari shares how his dreams sparked the idea for his fantasy world, the challenges of writing as an indie author, and what he’s learned about discipline, mindset, and perseverance along the way.
We also explore how his background in cybersecurity influences his storytelling, why imagination is a skill worth protecting, and what’s next for Sunder World 2, now available on Barnes & Noble.
Follow Jamari on Linkendin to stay updated on his books and creative projects.
