Currently, I'm working on short stories that deal with a specific topic. I've already finished and released two short stories that pertain to it (A Positive Outlook and My Son, The Stranger). I plan to release the first two books of a new trilogy simultaneously, perhaps, before the year ends(less)

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

I was so surprised, because in the last time we had seen each other, I knew him to live in a different city and he knew me to live in another country.

That gave me the idea to write The Gay Seasons. Essentially, the idea was this:

What if the one who got away returned to your life in the exact moment when you're having doubts about the relationship you're in? Will you explore a relationship with the one who got away or will you stick it out with the one you're with?

From that, I recreated a back story for the character who would face that question in Book 2 of The Gay Seasons and I imagined his choices and how the book will end.(less)
