I have been writing since I was little. First in my mind and then, as the years went by, I transferred my thoughts and feelings onto paper. I started writing with a pencil. Then with a pen, then on the computer… I didn't care how. The only thing I wanted ever since I knew myself was to write. I wrote, erased, then rewrote, and I would burst with joy and excitement whenever I finished something, something that reflected how I felt. I played with words for entire years, became one with them, lived a thousand lives until I completed my first novel. Its title: "Salome's Last Dance." And when people read it, liked it, and suggested publishing it, I hesitated to submit it for publication. I hesitated because now I wouldn't be the only one reading it over and over again, I wouldn't be the only one living the adventures of its characters, I wouldn't identify with them, I wouldn't try to understand their actions. Others would do it.
My readers. But I didn't know then, I couldn't imagine the magical relationship that exists between an author and their readers. I couldn't even conceive of that precious connection, which for years has been my very breath. I have never revealed this to you. However, all of you who read my novels are my driving force, you are the ink of my writing. I didn't know all this when I finally overcame my hesitations and submitted my first novel for publication. And then years passed, more novels followed. And then I was incredibly lucky because I managed, through my work, to belong among the authors of Psichogios Publications. It is one of the few publishing houses in Greece that truly respects both their readers and their authors.
