I write what I read. I read a lot, and the books I finish usually inspire me.
I love a book that keeps me hooked. The best ones render me oblivious to my surroundings.
Ask my partner - he knows all about spirited-away, unresponsive me who sits glued to her book and forgets about the here and now. Bliss!
You think that's bad? I am even worse when writing! I forget thetime, I forget to eat (no worries! I have enough reserves to keep me going. Not going to wither away anytime soon...), and I get annoyed if the real world starts making demands; like the postman calling or the telephone ringing.
I love to immerse myself in the worlds of my stories. Love to fight my protagonists' battles, live their conflicts, feel their heartache.
I am a sucker for the not-so-obvious. I love the stories, which break genre-moulds. Stories that veer off the beaten track. I love genre mixers, genre breakers, and books that take novel twists on old favourites. The ones, which make you gasp and say to yourself: "I didn't see that one coming..."

Immortal beasts that become mortal, the epitome of evil transformed into something beautiful, and romantic heroines who leave the love of their life to stay true to themselves.
Casual flings rather than a full-blown love affair? Bring it on!
Aliens are just another species within our universe? Brilliant! Take the para out of paranormal , and it becomes - well, normal I guess.
And that means humanity has to deal with it.
How they deal with it, and with each other, depends on their background, the world they are in, the changes they undergo on a personal level, and on a species level. The permutations are endless! And I love this playing field, which is so full of possibilities.
A story may be going down an obvious path. But who says, that the protagonists will not choose one of the many trails, that veer off the beaten tracks and explore the hidden possibilities - the sinister side of the story, the side that divides the readers?
I love to read a story, that stretches my imagination; a story that toys with taboos and "what ifs." A story that makes me feel a bit uncomfortable, but manages to not completely alienate me.
I love thought-provoking, but I don't appreciate provocative thrown in-your-face, eat-or-die statements that won't allow exploring both sides of the coin.
For me, the fine art of crafting a story lies in finding a way to make the reader see right beyond the surface and make him/her appreciate the hidden beauty of the beast.
