Sometimes, I vividly see certain details in my dreams—a street I’ve never walked on, a face I’ve never met, or even a conversation without warning. The most terrifying part is when I actually step onto that street, encounter that face, or hear those words, an overwhelming sense of familiarity washes over me, as if everything had already played out in my dreams.

I drew inspiration for my most recent book from a combination of historical events and timeless stories, blending elements of mystery and suspense to breathe life into the narrative. Historical accounts often carry rich layers of human experience—conflict, triumph, and intrigue—that I found captivating to explore. I wanted to reinterpret these threads through a modern lens, creating characters and plotlines that feel both familiar and fresh.
The process also involved weaving in suspenseful elements, where small details slowly unravel into larger mysteries, much like peeling back the layers of a hidden truth. This interplay between history and suspense allowed me to create a story that keeps readers guessing while grounding them in the echoes of the past.
