Interview with the author

Q: What are the biggest challenges you faced while continuing this fantasy series?
A: To combine my ideas in a way that make sense and at the same time making it an emotional story with compelling characters. I wrote the first draft within one and a half months, much faster than the first part of the series. Afterward, it was sometimes tough not to lose motivation during the rewriting phase, which took the rest of the year.

Q: What kept you going?

Q: What can the fans look forward to in Rise of the Siren?
A: It's still a paranormal romance novel and so the love between Nathalie and Alex deepens and their relationship further develops. We also learn more about Luke and Melissa's story and why he became a male Siren. But the best thing is that there is a lot more magic in this book than in the first one. We really dive into a different world with magical creatures and supernatural elements. Harry Potter meets Divergent.

Q: Of course, we are already waiting for the third part of the trilogy. When will you have it ready?
A: I hope that again I can write it within a year. But first, I need a break. I will go travel in Asia some more and collect new ideas. Myanmar is calling and I must go. Plus, I'll visit China, the mother country of superstition, and collect as much good luck as I can. I need it in the publishing world so that people find my books with al...
