Gio is an avid reader, his favourite genres being fantasy as well as Victorian classics. He combines these two genres in his debut series The Kingdom of Ura, which is a fantasy series set in the equivalent of Victorian/Edwardian era England. He wishes to see more LGBTQIA+ representation in literature, fantasy novels especially, hence the Kingdom of Ura is queer positive, specifically for bisexual and gay men. He is a mental health advocate, animal lover (yes a vegetarian) and obtained his postgrad in English from the University of Cape Town.

“The shadow, the predator, the monster. Caspian is a haunting figure of darkness, and for him, Olivia Sinclair isn't just a woman—she is the missing piece to his very survival. Trapped within the cold stone and leaden secrets of the North Tower, Olivia has been tormented her whole life by a family defined by deception and abuse. But as the Vesperthorns close in and an infection hums in her marrow, the stakes reach a diabolical breaking point. Will she finally find the freedom she’s dreamed of, or will she fall prey to the hidden evil weaving a web of stolen light around her? A gripping tale where the line between "God" and "Monster" is razor-thin.”
