After reading craig's book, I get that writing's Ian story would be a handful.For him being with that many connections and many enemies,1 book wont do him justice.how will u approach his story ? Also I wanted to ask about how u got the correct arabic pronounciation that was mentioned in "with u" series, since u only speak swed and Eng ?

Hi Mariam,
Ian's story is perhaps the most complicated and there is a real chance that it will become a duet. I'm only in the early stages of writing and not far enough in that I can say for sure. There's a lot of depth of character to cover and Ian is so complicated that I'm not sure one book would do him justice. I've plotted the story as both one and two books and I won't know which why it will go until I get further in.
I'm lucky enough to have a few Arabic speaking friends who helped me with the pronunciation although they weren't fully agreed on exactly how I should spell it!
My partner has some familiarity with Arabic (although he is not fluent) so he will be helping me with any Arabic that comes up in the course of Ian's book.
I love languages which I'm sure comes across in the multitude of bilingual characters and I can't pass up on a chance to enrich my books with other beautiful languages.
