Steven's Inspiration

I created the Crusaders of the Code Realm series because my experience in cybersecurity—and as a parent—has shown me just how important it is to stay safe online. Kids today are growing up surrounded by technology, and while it’s full of amazing possibilities, it also comes with risks.

I wanted to create stories that not only captures their imagination but also gives them practical lessons to protect themselves. By blending exciting adventures with real-world scenarios, this series reflects my hope that young readers will feel empowered to navigate the digital world confidently, knowing they can be the heroes of their own online safety.
