Biography

I have been writing short stories and poems since a young age, but my ultimate goal was creating a novel. Or a series, rather. Now, with my fourth novel on its way, and another few lined up, I think I can say that it came true - but this only fuels my desire to write more. After all, we are allowed to dream the same dream (over and over again) - and that's exactly what I'm planning to do :)

I enjoy helping people in any way possible, and I really hope that my books will prove to be inspirational in a way. Whether readers are looking for a swift (and steamy) erotic story, or a paranormal romance, I want them to associate themselves with my characters and realize stuff about themselves in the process. Yes, even the bad things. Because, in life, there is no black and white, only colors. Therefore, I don't think any of my characters are either good or bad, but rather a little bit of both. Aren't we all?

Well, if you never had guilty thoughts, never had any self-confidence issues, or if you never wanted something (or someone ) who belonged to someone else, then probably my books won't be for you. But, who knows, I might be able to show you a different perspective. I like to experiment with different genres, and new concepts and ideas.

I really enjoy learning as much as I can about people, what makes them tick (and live, laugh, cry, and sigh). In fact, I think our World (and those beyond) are so diverse, ten thousand lifetimes wouldn't be enough to explore it all. But one thing I truly believe in: those who belong in your life will find a way there. Therefore my stories are usually based on chance encounters and ordinary events that take an unexpected turn.

Like a blind date on Valentine's day, or a haircut, or a new job. Who says you can't meet someone 'accidentally'; while going to the hairdresser, someone you lost contact with 500 years ago? Trust me, you can. You just need to brace every day (and every book) with open eyes - and an open heart.

Just remember: my stories are all about you, and you alone. If they capture your attention (and your heart), then I've done my 'job'. I regularly try to release new content, both on Amazon and my blog. Please feel free to have a look, and sign up to my newsletter. And, just so you know: I care about your opinion, very much so. Whether you liked my work or you didn't, I would be honored if you let me know what it meant for you. It would mean the world to me!

Smashwords Interview

Do you remember the first story you ever wrote?
Oh, yes... I was just a bimbo back then. I think I was about 9 or 10, and the story was about a pair of dirty socks (!). Well, one 'member' of the pair, to be precise. He was dirty and lonely, smelly even, wanting to find someone who would accept him for what he is: the pairless, dirty sock. Yeah, well, everyone has to start somewhere, right? It still brings a smile to my face when I think about it. Even back then I was trying to create a 'happy ending' out of every situation, thus the idea to match the dirty sock with its perfect pair came to fruition, resulting in a 5-page-long 'fairy tale'. Of course, don't think about anything epic. It was nothing like Cinderella or Harry Potter (obviously). I think my parents still have the 'manuscript' somewhere, and they were so proud, as that was when I announced that I would once become a writer.

And alas, at the age of 16 I started to write poems and further short stories. 'Proper' ones this time. One thing let to another, and when I was 27, I made my biggest dream come true: I published my first novel (both online and in pdf format). Check it out on Amazon, it's called 'Her First Secret', and it is the first part of a Paranormal Romance series. Of course, since then I extended my repertoire to short erotic stories, too (and the series has 3 other parts).

But yes, one will always remember their very first.
What is your writing process?
It depends on my mood, really. I really love writing outdoors, especially when I'm visiting my parents. There is just something magical in their vast garden, the way the flowers bloom and the birds sing. It's as if they were telling me the story, and I was simply the one to write it all down.

But when I'm not there (or I can't venture into Nature), then I get comfortable on my couch, looking out of the window from time to time. A cute little squirrel keeps hiding his nuts underneath my window, which makes me feel so special! But anyway, where was I... Ah, yes. I do get distracted sometimes, so when I really want to write, then I just put on some relaxing music, to get me in the mood, and start scribbling away.

You might wonder what sort of music that is. Well, anything instrumental really, but I usually prefer magical, medieval or pirate music (yes, even vampiric music). Even if I'm not writing anything supernatural, somehow I feel connected to the Universe by listening to these.

And then when I think I've created a masterpiece, I read it, find some typos, then read it again. I don't normally rewrite paragraphs, unless they don't make sense in regards to the entire story. It is interesting (in my opinion), as I heard of many others who keep rewriting their stuff. I'm not saying that I never do it, but I do believe that I wrote it the way I did for a reason. That time it was perfect (for me at least).

An author of steamy romance goes on a (few) blind dates on Valentine's Day. Who will she pick? Plenty of clichés made fun of in the author's (no, not this one, the other one) signature sarcastic style. Nobody is safe in this romantic comedy. Not even the author herself.
