Hi! My questions are, 1. After creating and delving into a world of fiction, How do you leave after being so emotionally invested? 2. Have you ever had trouble letting go ? 3. You mentioned that you write in order to explore certain themes. What have you learned most about each theme, that has resonated with you, and has this in a way allowed you to understand your own experiences? Thanks!

Hello Boookwormlover,
Thanks for your questions.
It's difficult to leave characters that have been one's companions for several years. But in a way, I still feel connected with them. For example, the Professor is always pestering me, saying something. And I can always hear Julia laughing in the background. Perhaps this is why I intend to write another book about them someday - they're still talking to me after all these years.
One of the themes I've explored in all my novels - both The Gabriel Series and The Florentine Series - is forgiveness. Forgiving others, forgiving ourselves, being forgiven. This is a topic I care about and I think it's one worth discussing. I'm still thinking about it and probably will forever.
Thank you for reading,
SR

Hello SR! First of all, congratulations on the success of The Shadow with its release last week. I have to say, this book is my favourite in the Florentine Series to date! My question is, when you get an idea for a story, do you work out how the story will end before you even start writing? Where do you start writing, at the very first chapter, the middle, the end? Congrats again & best wishes, Susie from Oz :)
