(view spoiler)[This is not a question, but i just want to say your book one of my favourites of all time. I have never thought of Peter Pan as bad o evil. At first I was like "The synopsis must be wrong, there is literally no way that this sweetheart is evil. Like he is actually falling in love" but when i got to the juicy part i just screamed like what the heck, and i kinda hated him. ¿How did u think of all that?? (hide spoiler)]
Colleen Oakes
I took a lot of inspiration from the original text of Peter Pan, which when read as an adult, is full of dark, twisted things. Studying Peter Pan syndrome also helped create this character, who is at once a love interest and a villain. I fell in love with him as well, and as a society we love to hold up bad boys as objects of lust, and I wanted to play with that.

Hi, my name is Cintia and I'm from Argentina. Being a writer is what I want the most in this world, nothing makes me happier than writing, but I'm more and more frustrated with each passing day, because I've been blocked for 3 years. And it is not that I have an unfinished story. I have NOTHING AT ALL. A blank page in front of me, that only makes me sadder... Is there a way to overcome this? How do you handle it?

I own your first book "Queen of Hearts" and I am on the last chapter. It is amazing!!! I was wondering why goodreads says that the second book is already out, but the first book just came out. Is the second novel in stores or no? And is there a reason why the queen has the same name as Alice's cat? I love your work once I am done with this I am reading Wendy Darling. :)
