Goodreads asked Maha Devi Li Ra La:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Maha Devi Li Ra La I lived near the ocean for quite some time and felt pretty inspired by its vastness and the sense of freedom it instilled in me. Being into fairy tales the way I am I started imagining an underwater mer-kingdom of incredible beauty and age-old mysteries. The romantic in me then conjured a romance between a mer-prince and a princess from the ancient Magna Graecia of the Italian peninsula. With my books of the series 'Within the Ocean of Eternal Love' I want to show how true love conjures our deepest resources to help us overcome any obstacles and differences, and how it can turn us into the super-humans we ultimately are designed to be.
