Engy Albasel Neville
The current book I'm writing Loved In Time is part of The Travelers series (A Leap In Time is the first book in the series) was inspired by the city my Mom grew up in.
Nablus, a small city in the Middle East, was always special to me, partly because its my Mom's hometown and separately, because the city has always been magical to me in the culture, architecture, lifestyle and decadent rich food.
There's so much history there, so many hidden laneways that zigzag through every neighborhood, the charm oozes out of everything that is Nablus.
I couldn't fathom writing a series about time travel and not include Nablus. The main characters in this book played supporting roles in the first book. I enjoyed developing their characters and storylines so much in the first book, I felt they needed their own book.
