Some readers asked me how I came up with the idea for the story about Na-Ri. And the answer may surprise you. A few years ago, I watched a Korean TV show called My Girlfriend is a Kumiho. I found it quite funny, and it provided my “knowledge” about Korean Kumihos.
When I was writing my BDSM thriller, I gave my protagonist the stage name ‘Kumiho’ on a whim. At some point, however, I asked myself how this name had plausibly found its way into the story. So I came up with a new Kumiho fairy tale in my mind, which was supposed to establish the name in this world. So I started writing the Kumiho series in parallel to my thriller series.
The different stories have nothing to do with each other, but they do have one thing in common: they are both about a lost sister. And at the end, I'll add a little Easter egg that will connect the stories.
Now that I've teased my thriller series here, I'd like to write something about it:
It's my most complicated and extensive project, which I've been working on for 5 years without the end in sight. Two-thirds of the story has been written, but the final twists and turns are still a work in progress.
What makes it special is that there are two main storylines, the Johanna and the Nadia line, each told from the perspective of one of the two sisters. You can start with one storyline, then switch to the other, and finally read the final volume, 'The Enemy Sisters'. It doesn't really matter which sister you start with. Both storylines are directly connected, but tell completely different stories.
I will publish them here next year, starting with the Johanna arc.
Coming soon: No-LIMIT-Rooms!
Happy New Year!
