The Writing Bug…

For those who know me well, my debut book Hearts In Shadows has finally been officially released into the world, marking a significant and thrilling milestone in my writing journey. I honestly thought that once I shared it with readers, I would take a well-deserved break and simply savor the moment of accomplishment, perhaps enjoying a little quiet time to reflect on all the hard work that led up to this point. However, I was completely wrong about that expectation. The excitement and energy surrounding the release have only intensified my passion for storytelling, and I now realize that I’ve been thoroughly bitten by the relentless and insatiable writing bug in a way I never anticipated. Instead of resting, I find myself eager and inspired to dive headfirst into crafting brand-new stories, embracing this fresh wave of creativity with enthusiasm and a renewed sense of adventure and purpose. In just a few days since the release of Hearts In Shadows, I have been pleasantly surprised and deeply touched by the incredible support and kind words from friends, family, and wonderful readers alike. Their encouragement has motivated me even further to keep exploring where my imagination can take me — discovering brand-new stories, creating vivid and immersive worlds, and bringing unique, richly developed characters to life with every page I write. At the moment, I’m in the process of deciding whether to continue the story of Elena and Dante, who have already found a special place in my heart, or venture into something entirely new and uncharted. Amid this thoughtful reflection, I have come up with eight exciting new ideas for possible stories that I hope one day I will be able to bring to life, share with the world, and watch grow just as Hearts In Shadows has.
