Yes, I do plan to republish it. Unfortunately, my full-time job keeps me extremely busy, so time for writing is minimal. I hope to get Moscow Express republished by the end of the year as an ebook and paperback by early 2021.

The joy of creating new worlds and new characters that others will hopefully read and fall in love with as much as I have.

Ideas often come to me while I'm listening to music. Music is probably my biggest inspiration. But I also get plenty of story and character ideas from reading other books, TV shows, and news stories.

I'm currently working on two poetry books—1 for children ages 9-12 and one for adults, an espionage suspense series, and a non-fiction educational series for children ages 7-12.

I came up with the story idea for my series Dying To Love when I was about 16 or 17. Over the years I have made over 100 pages of notes about the characters, their families, and the plot for the books. Moscow Express is book one. I have always found a man in uniform to be very handsome. And I have always been interested in fighter jets. Since Russia has a special place in my heart and I am particularly attracted to Russian men I wanted to make a story that centered around them and their search for love and the pains and struggles that can come in finding and keeping the one you love. I added an American girl to make things interesting and culturally diverse. I also wanted to share with the world the feelings and emotions that were encompassing the people of Russia in the years just after the fall of Communism. I hope these books will not just be an entertaining read but also enlighten the world about the beauty and strength of the Russian people.

Death, Lies, And Duct Tape; Hotel Moscow; She Belongs to Me; Entangled Dreams; and Land of the Noonday Sun. If I get done with those then I'll add more. But there are 14 books in the first one.

Write everyday, even if only for a few minutes. Read everyday, especially the genre in which you wish to write.

The freedom to express myself creatively.

I listen to music to relax my mind and inspire creative thinking, or I read a good book that's in the genre I'm trying to write.
Leeza Katrinova
I've always had a very active imagination so coming up with ideas for stories is relatively easy. To flesh out the ideas and make them into full stories I usually listen to music and daydream. Music always instills in me a creative spirit and energizes me. And when that doesn't work, I read other authors in the genre that I'm writing.

I'm currently writing the sequel to Moscow Express. I'm also working on a story that involves that main character, Yevgeny's, sister—Masha.
