“The writing bug bit me on a rainy afternoon when I couldn’t find any new book to read. My daughter had enough of my moping around and snapped at me, “Mom, stop whining! If you haven’t a book to read, then write one.” Her challenge shocked me, but I started playing with the idea and I’ve been writing stories, that I like to read, ever since.”

Erika loves to dance to her own tunes and follow her dreams, introduces her story writing skills and her books that are based on creative imagination with themes such as alternate history, urban fantasy, cozy mystery, sweet romance and supernatural stories. Her children’s stories are informative, educational, and deliver moral values in a non-preachy way.

“I followed my dream to become a writer. As an artist, I paint pretty pictures with my brushes, and as a writer, I paint vivid pictures with my words.”

This story was an interesting take on merging two parallel worlds. Where doing that to get to one love, others aren’t meant to be.

I found ALONE to be a very interesting read. The idea of parallel universes where the portal could bring you back to a person you thought you had lost is both frightening and exhilarating. This was a short but sweet romance story.
I read and reviewed a copy of this book with no obligation.

This dystopian novelette is a fun get-away to a place where what-ifs can happen. I love the cover of this book and the beautiful story inside. The part of which is the au pair from Poland is smart enough to build a time machine, but chooses to be a nanny. Go girl! I felt like the wrap up was too quick; I wanted to see more of their life together. The author, Erika M. Szabo, uses a quick wrap-up so the reader can use their imagination on the ending once they are done reading. Nice, quick read.
