Excerpts From The Book

Eliana stood in the unfamiliar space, feeling the pang of solitude as the reality of being alone struck her like a stone from a catapult. The hotel owner chattered away, assuring her that everything was ready, but the words barely registered. Her gaze landed on Yiannis, who, with his sinewy arms and boyish face, seemed a world apart. The weight of loneliness settled in her chest, refusing to let go.

Heat rose around her like warm honey as she stepped out, her skin already sticky with sweat. She glanced over the immaculate lawns of the hotel grounds and took in the scraggly, dry mountains in the distance. Adjusting to the glare of the Kefalonian sun, which shone like a radiant crown, she felt its warmth envelop her, almost mocking the serenity she sought. The landscape seemed alive, painted in hues that spoke of sun-soaked hours and boundless horizons.

My Inspiration for The Magic of Miramare

The inspiration behind The Magic of Miramare is deeply rooted in my fascination with relationships—their complexity, unpredictability, and the multitude of ways they unfold. I’ve always been intrigued by how no two relationships are alike; some flourish despite the odds, while others that seem perfect on the surface quietly fall apart. It’s the unique blend of chemistry, personality, and circumstance that makes relationships so captivating and magnetic.

The seed for this story was planted back in 2017, during heartfelt and often raw conversations with a friend who was navigating difficult times in her relationship. We would talk for hours, peeling back the layers of vulnerability, trust, and heartache. It was in those whispered exchanges that I found the essence of this book—a tale that would explore the intricacies of human connection and emotional resilience.

Setting the story in Kefalonia was inspired by a cherished family holiday I experienced there. The island’s breathtaking landscapes, with their sun-drenched coastlines, vibrant colors, and tranquil allure, provided the perfect backdrop for exploring themes of love, longing, and renewal. Kefalonia’s beauty brought an added depth to the narrative, reflecting both the serenity and turmoil that relationships often embody.
