Devika Fernando

Biography

Almost as soon as Devika Fernando could write, she imagined stories and poems. After finishing her education in Germany and returning to her roots in Sri Lanka, she got a chance to turn her passion into her profession. Having lived in Germany and in Sri Lanka with her husband has made her experience the best (and the worst) of two totally different worlds – something that influences her writing. Her trademark is writing sweet, yet deeply emotional romance stories where the characters actually fall in love instead of merely falling in lust. What she loves most about being an author is the chance to create new worlds and send her protagonists on a journey full of ups and downs that will leave them changed. She draws inspiration from everyone and everything in life. Besides being a romance novel author, she works as a self-employed German web content writer, as a translator, and as a faithful servant to all the cats, dogs, fish and birds in her home. When she’s not writing, she’s reading or thinking about writing.

Smashwords Interview

What are you working on next?
I'm currently working on the paranormal romance novel 'In Deep Water', Book 2 in the 4 Elements of Love Series. I'm also editing my contemporary romance novel titled "Saved in Sri Lanka" (Romance Round the World, Book 1). And I'm co-authoring the romantic suspense novel "Forbidden" with Mike Wells.
Where did you grow up, and how did this influence your writing?
My mother is from Sri Lanka and my father from Germany. I was born in Sri Lanka, but grew up in various parts of Germany. Having spent 19 years of my life there has made me quite 'Western / European', I'd say. But after that, I spent many years in Sri Lanka - where I live at the moment - and it has brought me more in tune to my Asian side. Trying to balance both can be as challenging as it can be fascinating, and it does show in my writing. I try to write books that somebody from India or the Philippines might enjoy just as much as somebody from Spain or England or Canada.
