My passion for romance is what inspired Caught Between Our Worlds the most. I first started writing it out of nowhere, and all I knew was that I wanted to tell the story of two different characters and worlds, in this case, the social differences is what sets the MCs apart. I love reading clichés with unexpected plot twists, so that's how I developed the story, and it came out exactly how I'd like to read it.
I struggled with the many sensitive themes that I approached in the story, such as bullying, rape, violence and drugs. I also struggled to find a balance whenever I was writing about the social differences because it's also a very sensitive topic and I didn't want to upset anybody. It took me a lot of time and research in order to write the story as it currently is, and I hope I accomplished in creating a loveable roller coaster of emotions.

I enjoyed the romance between the main characters. Both Bella and Dan are so sweet, and they learn and grow a lot as the story goes.
Most of the readers tell me that it's a roller coaster of emotions because it made them sad, angry, hopeful and happy. Some of the readers curse a lot due to the development of one of the main characters, and it amazes me how invested they get when it comes to the plot and to what's going to happen next. I cry every time that a reader binge-reads Caught Between Our Worlds and adds it to their favorites.
Caught Between Our Worlds is a stand-alone, but I am working on a spin off, Caught Between The Two Of Us, which is already up on Wattpad.

I would like the readers to see that it doesn't matter someone's social class, background or friends around them. We should never judge people because we never know what is going on in their lives or even inside their hearts. Looks can be very deceiving.

Listening to music helps me a lot whenever I am writing, especially when I'm transitioning from one book to another. I always connect a song to each and every story like a soundtrack. Example: Caught Between Our Worlds' song is Deep Blue, by William Black and Monika Santucci. I listened to it countless times while writing about Bella and Dan because it connects me to their worlds and their lives. It helps me to get inside their heads and feel their emotions, and I found it easier to focus on their stories and the words came out easier.

I believe that both Dan's and Bella's insecurities are reflections of my own insecurity. Bella's way of thinking is similar to mine when it comes to overcoming the differences and forgiving the past, although her character is mostly based on one of my best friends.

The readers always tell me what they love the most about Caught Between Our Worlds is that it's not the usual romance. Although the main focus is Bella's and Dan's romance, there are a lot of unexpected plot twists, and even the personalities of the characters usually catch the readers by surprise.
Yes, I have a lot of future projects. I just can't stop coming up with new ideas, which I'm very grateful for. I'm currently working on three books that are up on Wattpad, and there are five more waiting for a chance to come to life. Writing is my life and it's practically the air that I breathe, so I can't help myself. :)

The Path of Ascension
The story follows Matt, a young man planning to delve the rifts responsible for the monsters that destroyed his city and killed his parents. His dreams are crushed when his Tier 1 Talent is rated as detrimental, and no guild or group will take him. Working at a nearby inn, he meets a mysterious and powerful couple. They give him a chance to join The Path of Ascension, an empire wide race to ascend the Tiers and become living legends. With their recommendation and a stolen skill, Matt begins his journey to the peak of power. *** Chapters will now be MONDAY and FRIDAY AT 4:00pm EST. This is a mix between LitRPG and Xianxia. It's like a car that looks like a LitRPG with dungeons and skills, but the interior and engine are all Xianxia. So no blue boxes and clicking +’s to get stronger. *** What you won't see in this novel: Bland protagonists. Bland love interests that immediately fall in love with the MC. Murder hobos who kill entire families and clans for looking the wrong way at somebody. Pacifist MC’s who wouldn't kill a single person to save millions. Cartoonish villains who are bad just to be bad. *** What to expect: A MC who acts rationally. World building that has more depth than ‘strong people 'stronk'. There will be no rules only benefiting the strong and no rule changes as they see fit. An empire that actually cares for its citizens. People who act and talk like real people. A magic system and progression system that are logically and internally consistent. Realistic fight scenes.
