As a fervent fan of both spellbinding dramas and adrenaline-charged action franchises, Leo's taste knows no bounds.

His writing is fueled by an insatiable appetite for the fantastical worlds of Middle-earth, the enchanting realms of Narnia, and the twists and turns of Guillermo del Toro's creature-filled masterpieces.
