Almost as soon as Devika Fernando could write, she imagined stories and poems. After finishing her education in Germany and returning to her roots in Sri Lanka, she got a chance to turn her passion into her profession. Having lived in Germany and in Sri Lanka with her husband has made her experience the best (and the worst) of two totally different worlds – something that influences her writing.

If you take out the breaks and 'normal life', I spend about 7 or more hours each day writing. When I'm very busy, only 1 of these will be reserved for my books. On more flexible days, I have up to 3 or 4 hours that I can use for working on my novels.(less)

Unlike some other authors, I write series where each book can be read as a stand-alone with separate characters and a happy end. That makes it easier to coordinate and write. There's no logical sequence and no need to tie up loose ends or arrange the pieces in a puzzle.
With my "4 Elements of Love" series, I have all four books planned out (plot, blurb and rough characterization) and can't wait to write them all. With my "Romance Round the World Series" focusing on stories set in different countries, I am writing on one (Sri Lanka), thinking of the next (Germany) and leaving the rest open...(less)

New Look for the Inn Love Series

It's been a while since I posted on my blog. With so much going on in the world and in Sri Lanka, I kept forgetting about it.
Anyway, time for an announcement: I wasn't that happy with the previous covers for my Inn Love romance novel series anymore, so I decided to give them an overhaul. I relaunched the books with their new covers a while ago and now I really want to grab myself another paperback Read more of this blog post »

The Dragon Wakes with Thunder by K.X. Song
"2.5/5

I am devastated by my disappointment. The Dragon Wakes With Thunder was my most anticipated release of 2025 because The Night Ends With Fire was my favourite read of 2024.
