I had a heart attack in 2010 and I am sure after surviving that I started thinking about my mortality and the things I had done in my life.

Lack of time.  I always have not enough time, as long as I remember myself.  I have too many plans and ideas, everything want to do, but I have only 24 hours a day, like everybody else.  And it seems that it is not enough for me.  Sometimes I think it would be good to have two of myself: one would do the writing and another the rest stuff, for example, research, facts checking, bringing me a coffee :) and so on.  But it is impossible, so I always have to make decisions, about what is more important and share my time.

I feel this ability, which lies in each and every one of us, is a true gift, as it allows a total freedom that is second to none.

That also connects to my vision to bring people together through love stories. Captivating stories that show how love is both timeless and borderless, ...

Of course, because I created them. They are based on my thoughts, my ideas, and my imagination, which in turn are based on my experiences and my character, the books I have read, my likes and dislikes, fears and hopes, my values, the society and time I live in. Nobody writes in a vacuum.
