The story of Arminius, in my opinion, is similar to the movie Braveheart, only with a better plot and more satisfying ending. I took great pleasure in incorporating aspects of the Siegfried myth in the retelling of the historical battle of the Teutoburg Wald.

They are entirely fictitious, but I think each of them could represent someone everyone knows. The judgmental older sister, the protect-your-family-at-any-cost Father, the anxious nine-teen year old, the socially awkward outcast, and the person constantly struggling to make the right choice. On a side note, I have written another book where my whole family gets involved. Don’t tell them!

I struggled with the truth, honestly, of telling all the dirty details of the parents, who are also my friends. At times, I felt too close to what I was writing.

I’d love to think my story could be inspirational to others going through a disorienting or hard time in their lives where they seemed to lose themselves.

I actually fought with myself over the idea of ‘going to hell’ if I wrote this book. Let’s just say it was a real bear but I think it came out well and I’m very glad it’s over.

My books have a sitcom-drama element to them. If the reader only likes a traditional book format, my books might feel different at first. However, once they get into character and find the flow of the book, they can’t put it down.

I want to write books that I would love to read – books with strong, complicated characters, twisty plots, and a nice tinge of romance. I want to guide my readers to my imagined world, where they don’t have to think about picking kids up from school or getting the laundry done. I want them to immerse themselves, laugh out loud, gasp out loud, smile, frown, and finally to remember the book with a sigh of pure pleasure.
