INTERVIEW
1. What or who inspired you to start writing?
I've always loved writing and reading stories because it's fascinating that each book takes you to a different world. That's what inspired me to write “fiction, fantasy” books.
3. How did you come up with your idea for your novel?
Most of my stories like “A link between two worlds / Un lien entre deux mondes” are from my dreams or just listening to fantasy, dramatic and medieval instrumental music.
5. What would you want your readers to know about you that might not be in your bio?
I like watching cooking and home renovation shows. When I grow up, I would like to cook different types of dishes and to become an architect.
6. As far as your writing goes, what are your future plans?:
Here is a sneak peek for some of my ideas
Note: These are not the book names.
- Let’s just say….The story of “Parallel Universes” may not end at book 3.
- Sometimes the darkness could possibly be the light.
- A memory can never be erased forever…..
- Is it truly the end of the world?...
7. If you could be one of the characters from this book, who would it be and why?
The character I would like to be in the “A link between two worlds / Un lien entre deux mondes” series would be “Alaura”. I chose “Alaura” because her character is based on my personality.
8. Can you give us a sneak peek into this book?:
From book 3: A link between two worlds vol 4: the nightmare begins / Un lien entre deux mondes vol 4: le cauchemar commence.
A dark future is near, the past is always clear...
Chapter 3: Land of the black mist, the underworld
Sinis - I’ve never actually been here. I just heard stories about this place from our father. Remember Lily?
Lily - I don’t think I...oh wait…. no no no! We have to get out of this place now!
Emma - Could one of you explain where in the world we are?
Lily - I... I will tell you the story of the realm of Ecreise. A long time ago, after the planet Moria split in two, as you already know, it opened up a portal to a different dimension. After all the magical creatures got used to having their own planet, which is Aliese, it had kind of created or restored our planets as well. It was like the magic we lost long ago was finally coming back. About 10 years after that, an unknown dark portal opened up. Some explorers decided to check it out and our mother was one of them. They later made their way to this dark land. Souls were destroyed and there was no life on the planet... Until it came!
12. Do you outline your books or just start writing?:
I wouldn't say I “outline them” I just kind of have ideas that pop into my mind for certain actions or part of the story. Then sometimes through my dreams I see the story line as bright as day.
13. How do you maintain your creativity?:
I guess I just like fiction and fantasy stories so much that when one single idea pops in my mind, it opens up a whole universe of ideas within seconds.
14. Who is your favorite character in the book.Can you tell us why?
I can’t just choose one! But I'll try. I think my favorite character in the “A link between two worlds / Un lien entre deux mondes” series would be “Alaura”. First of all, she is sometimes funny, kind (sometimes shy) and finally she is a “Telepathie sister”, one of the most powerful species.
BLURB:
Three book bilingual series
Book 1:
Two worlds, one goal. The story will all be revealed. Hey, my name's Alaura. In this story, I found out that there's a parallel universe to Earth's called Aliese. I also have a long-lost relative, my sister Alia. But not everything is as great as it seems; there're evil forces called the Gaulris out to destroy the worlds with their leader, Lord Zefron. My friends, my sister, and I must find a way to stop this force before they reunite the two parallel universes, which will be total destruction.
Deux mondes, un objectif, l'histoire va être révélée. Bonjour, mon nom c'est Alaura. Dans cette histoire, je découvre qu'il y a un univers parallèle à la planète Terre qui s'appelle Aliese. J'apprends aussi que j'ai une soeur, nommée Alia, perdue depuis longtemps. Mais tout n'est pas aussi beau qu'il n'y paraît, il y a également les forces du mal : les Gaulris et leur roi Zefron. C'est pourquoi mes amis, ma soeur et moi devons arrêter le roi Zefron avant qu'il ne réunisse les deux univers parallèles, ce qui serait une destruction totale.
Book 2:
The future is never a straight path.
Hey, my name is Alia. In this story my friends, my sister and I find out that we cannot destroy Lord Zefron because of his mechanism. We also find out the exact date that the parallel universe will merge. We later make it to Bartha's place. She has a solution to how we can stop the universes from reuniting. But with every good thing comes a price to pay. We collect a load of items to prepare ourselves for this mission. So, we need once again to find a way to save the galaxy before the total destruction caused by the parallel universes.
Le future n'est jamais un chemin droit.
Hey mon nom est Alia. Dans cette histoire mes amies, ma soeur et moi ont découvert que nous ne pouvons pas détruire Le roi Zefron à cause de son mécanisme.
On a aussi découvert la date exacte à laquelle les deux univers parallèles vont se réunir. Quand nous sommes arrivés au château de Bartha, Bartha avait une solution comment empêcher les deux univers parallèles de se réunir. Mais pour toute bonne chose il ya un prix à payer. Nous avons donc collectionné beaucoup d'objects pour préparer à cette mission. Une fois de plus mes amies, ma soeur et moi doivent trouver un moyen de sauver la galaxie avant que les univers parallèles causent une destruction totale.
Book 3:
A light in the darkness . . .
Hey, my name is Lily and in this volume the nightmare truly begins. So, I, Alia Reven, and the rest of the group finally prepare a plan to stop the two worlds from merging. We had everything planned out, or so we thought . . . When The Telepathies sisters did the spell of Senyria, they awakened a hidden dark force that is out to destroy the world, which goes by the name of the black mist, or Devoile. Friends get possessed, new worlds are unlocked, hidden mysteries are discovered, and, worst of all, our friends, the world and realms are all in danger, 'cause in this volume the nightmare begins!
Une lumière dans le noire . . .
Bonjour mon c'est Lily et dans cette tome le cauchemar a commencé. Alors moi, Alia, Reven et tout le rest du groupe ont finalement trouvé un plan pour arrêter les deux mondes de se reunir. Nous avons prevu chaque etape ou on pensait avoir . . . Quand les soeurs Telepathie ont fait le sortilège de Senyria, elles ont révélé une nouvelle force du mal qui s'appelle la brume noir ou Devoile. Nos amis deviennent possedés, deux nouveaux mondes se montrent, des secrets inconnu sont révélé mais la plus mauvaise. Nos amis, l'univers et tout le monde sont en danger car dans cette tome le cauchemar a . . . vraiment commencer!

EXCERPT:
Origin of the species
A long time ago, there lived five different types of creatures: Velious, Oniras, Eveliques, Telepathies and Pheltia. These four creatures (Velious, Oniras, Eveliques, Pheltia) that lived in harmony were divided through anger, rage, and pain. One day, a new type of species appeared in their most vulnerable moment: two girls known as the species of telepathies. They appeared to be sisters. One wore moonlike necklaces and the other wore ice-like earrings. From that day forward, the four other species found a comet where they met the two sisters. Little did they know that this comet would divide the world in two: one where magic and sorcery existed, and the other where regular beings could live.
THIS IS A LINK BETWEEN TWO WORLDS!
The black hole
Ding ding ding ding ding! Alaura — What the? Ahh, oh, it’s just my alarm, but why did I even set up an alarm? Oh, yay, I completely forgot; it’s SUMMER BREAK! Oouhh ouhhh ouhhh ouhhh! So Apricot what do you think of a nice walk in the park? Well, it’s a beautiful day. Mom, me and Apricot are going out. Eva (Mom) — Ok, honey. I’m just taking care of your baby brother.
While Alaura was walking down Greenwood Park with chipmunk Apricot, she encountered one of her friends.
Alaura — Hey, Reven, over here.
Reven — Huh? Oh hey, Alaura; it’s always good to see you. Hehe!
Alaura — So what are you doing and why are you acting so weird?
Reven — Isn’t it obvious? I’m walking in the park. Hehe.
Alaura — Reven. Reven — Ok, I’m trying to pull a prank on Emma. She got me so good last time, and now I have to return the favour. Oh wait! You brought your chipmunk!.
Alaura and Reven — Hahahah!
Reven — So, did you hear the news?
Alaura — What news?
