To immerse yourself in your own world while writing and forget everything else :-)

I think it's important to have some 'knowledge' about the topic you're writing about, whether through personal experiences, stories from others or observations. A good structure for the book you want to write is essential. The development of a plot, chapters, characters of the protagonists, as well as the choice of location in which the story takes place must be carefully considered. In my opinion it doesn't work without that.

After completing my cycle of Thai Boys Love stories with my fifth book, 'Bangkok Bliss,' I'm currently working on new stories in the same genre, but with a different twist. The first of these 'new' stories is set to be released in early December.

Most of my ideas come to me spontaneously, whether I'm in the shower, out for a walk, or simply observing the world around me. Often, it's just a spark of an idea for a plot, which I then nurture and expand until it grows into a coherent story. In all my stories, there are tiny bits and pieces of myself—fragments of my past, my dreams, or my experiences—woven into the narrative, making each one a personal journey as much as a fictional one.

The idea for my first book came to me during one of my many trips to Thailand. While I was there, my friends introduced me to some TV series they were following, and that’s when I first discovered Boys Love stories. Inspired by this genre, I decided to write my own BL stories, which are now gaining a growing community of readers and interest worldwide.
