Hey, I hope this finds you well. The storyline is similar to the one you read and loved a few years ago: Book 1 in 2016 and Book 2/Book3 in 2017. As mentioned in the description, the story has been kicked up a notch with the addition of a third point of view and a fresh edit. I would have loved to have your feedback on the changes, but having already read it, I totally understand if you'd prefer to focus on the series finale. We can discuss what differs from what you remember, so that you can pick up where you left off and not be too confused with some elements in the new version. Message me, it'll be easier, if that's okay ;) Talk to you soon

Twice Upon A Time was inspired by all the fairy tales I've read as a little girl. In each of them, there's a lesson to learn, with sometimes a darker side, and the characters always grow from that experience.
Later in life, I enjoyed stories where the paranormal was combined with every day life. I like the idea that it's not because you don't know something exists that it doesn't exist, for real.
I've always been fascinated by eternal life. I'm a huge vampire fan but wanted to give eternal life a different twist.
That's why I chose to write a New Adult contemporary/paranormal love story about reincarnation, soulmates and wandering souls.

I find inspiration everywhere:
> reading my favorite authors and discovering new ones,
> listening to songs,
> watching movies/TV series,
> talking to friends,
> walking down the streets and listening to people or simply watching them...

Since I completed my debut novel, Twice Upon A Time, I started to work on another book!

1/ Define your ultimate goal (have fun? write a book? publish a book? win the Pulitzer Prize?...).
2/ Write a timeline so you know where you're going.
3/ Read in the same genre or sub-genres so you won't give the readers a story that's already been told.
4/ Enjoy yourself!

Making up a story you want to read, sharing the life of your characters as if they were real, and (hopefully) have others enjoy what you created.

That never happened to me so far.
