Goodreads asked Sumiko Nakano:

What are you currently working on?

Sumiko Nakano I am in the process of crafting a story about a young girl who will eventually evolve into the character known as 'The Silent Lioness.' This narrative forms the basis of a book I'm planning, which is a blend of my own real-life experiences as a child and fictional elements.

The story traces her journey from a young age, highlighting the pivotal moments and influences that shape her into the resilient and formidable figure known as 'The Silent Lioness' in a post-apocalyptic world. This project allows me to explore the character's early years, weaving themes of growth, resilience, and self-discovery.

By integrating aspects of my childhood into the story, I aim to add a layer of authenticity and emotional depth, making the character's evolution relatable and richly textured. This mix of personal experience and fiction provides a unique perspective on her transformation from an innocent child into a symbol of strength and resilience. The book is designed to offer readers an insightful backstory to 'The Silent Lioness,' allowing them to connect more deeply with her journey and the challenges she overcomes.
