When my characters surprise me: tapping into a muse
One of the things I love in writing is – when I don’t have control over it. I know, it sounds strange, but many writers will know what I am talking about. At times, things in your story happen without your control, even though you are the author and you should have the control. But at times - you don’t. And that’s good! Even though it sounds schizophrenic ;-) Because to be quite honest, it’s authentic. And when I say authentic, I mean human authentic. AI may learn algorithms

The very first scene I wrote in "Swift Escape"
The first scene most writers write doesn't necessarily happen at the beginning of the book. In most cases, the first scene that comes to my mind (and I assume this is the case for the other writers as well) is often the one that moves the story in a major way. It's a shift on many different levels, but most importantly it's a shift between characters. This scene in "Swift Escape" is one of my favorites and it is also the one I wrote first. https://youtu.be/JrM9fRiuHYI

Superbike: a must for the chasing scene!
Every special agent/ mystery/ thriller novel needs a chasing scene. On a motorbike, that is ;-) Think of Matrix, Mission Impossible, James Bond. It's a must! So, of course, "Swift Escape" had to have one as well. And this is the bike I chose for this escape route. If you had to escape the bad guys, which motorbike would you choose? P.S.

Inspiration for my short story “Dante’s 9”
When I heard about the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting many years ago, it broke me. It was devastating, just like all other massacres. And the saddest thing is that – there is no way back. No way to bring back the children who were lost. So, I wrote this short story to help me deal with how I felt. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c58xAMHzK9A
