Musings and Confessions of an Author

 

My dear friends, justlike you, my life has been filled with ups and downs, and the moments of sorrowhave surpassed the moments of bliss. Nevertheless, I’m thankful for my life andeveryone and everything in it.

Daily, I’m absorbed intaking care of my family, dealing with minor—or sometimes major—crises, and, ofcourse, writing. After all, I’m an author, and writing is as essential to me asthe air I breathe.

But now and then, I finda serene place—usually somewhere by the water—and reflect on moments of mylife. Lately, I had one of those moments, and my mind flew back to that dreamvacation on the Greek island of Lefkada years ago. I must confess that I’vealways been fascinated by the concepts of soul mates and reincarnation—theeternal cycles of the soul between this world and the Other Side. And that summer,I met “Evelyn”—a young lady who became a dear friend ever since, even though welive oceans apart.

I was fascinated by hermother’s mysterious past, her scorching dreams of a breathtakingly handsomestranger, and the earth-shuddering events that took place during her firstvisit to Lefkada—her mother’s birthplace.

So, inspired by myGreek-American friend’s memories and…visions, I wrote Echoes of the Past, thesecond novel in my paranormal romance collection, Flames of Destiny.

Of course, “Evelyn” isnot my friend’s real name. I’ve changed names, characters, and places. And I’veblended fiction with reality.

At this point, I wouldlike to mention that I entertain some doubts about reincarnation. But whether trueor not, it remains a captivating subject. After all, so many of us love storiesabout vampires, werewolves, and witches. That doesn’t mean that we necessarily believein those things. But we still enjoy reading about them—I know I do.

Best wishes,
