Behind the Scenes: Writing My Latest Novel

Behind the Scenes of Aurora Silentia

Aurora didn’t arrive gently. She came in a rush, a vision, a feeling, a pull I couldn’t ignore. I wasn’t planning to write a fantasy novel. I wasn’t planning to build a world with wolves, prophecy, bloodlines, and ancient memory. But sometimes a story chooses you long before you understand why.

Aurora Silentia began on a night when I couldn’t sleep. I kept seeing a woman standing alone in Italy, quiet, observant, carrying a heaviness she didn’t have words for. I didn’t know her name yet. I didn’t know her history. I just knew she was waking up to something she had spent her whole life running from.

And then came the man. The stranger with centuries in his eyes. The one who felt like danger and destiny at the same time.

From there, the world opened.

I wrote the first chapters in a blur, scenes arriving faster than I could type, dreams bleeding into the page, characters speaking before I even understood who they were. It felt less like writing and more like remembering.

Aurora Silentia became the place where my own healing, my own shadows, my own questions about identity and destiny found a home. It’s fiction, yes, but it carries pieces of me I’ve never said out loud.

This book is about awakening. About the moment you realize your life was never random. About the power you inherit, the truth you uncover, and the wildness you can’t outrun.

It’s not released yet, but it’s coming. And this is your first look behind the curtain.
