Welcome, Gabriella. Please tell us a little bit about yourself.
I am an eleven-year-old girl from Ontario, Canada. I speak both French and English. At the age of 11 I wrote my first book in a series called A Link Between Two Worlds. I like gymnastics, dancing, singing, swimming, drawing characters and designing my book covers. I also love writing fantasy stories. One day I decided to write a story about a magic galaxy, friendship, hope, courage, and fantasy.

Je suis une fille de 11 ans. Je viens de l’Ontario, Canada. Je parle le français et l’anglais. À l’âge de 11 ans, j’ai écrit la première tome de la série ” Un lien entre deux mondes ”. J’adore chanter, nager et faire de la gymnastique. J’aime aussi dessiner des personnages et les couvertures de mes livres, raconter des histoires originales et amusantes. Un jour, j’ai décidé d’écrire une histoire sur une galaxie où se mêlent magie, amitié, courage et de la fantaisie

Please tell us about your current release.
It’s a three-book bilingual series

Book 1:
Two worlds, one goal. The story will all be revealed. Hey, my name’s Alaura. In this story, I found out that there’s a parallel universe to Earth’s called Aliese. I also have a long-lost relative, my sister Alia. But not everything is as great as it seems; there’re evil forces called the Gaulris out to destroy the worlds with their leader, Lord Zefron. My friends, my sister, and I must find a way to stop this force before they reunite the two parallel universes, which will be total destruction.

Deux mondes, un objectif, l’histoire va être révélée. Bonjour, mon nom c’est Alaura. Dans cette histoire, je découvre qu’il y a un univers parallèle à la planète Terre qui s’appelle Aliese. J’apprends aussi que j’ai une soeur, nommée Alia, perdue depuis longtemps. Mais tout n’est pas aussi beau qu’il n’y paraît, il y a également les forces du mal : les Gaulris et leur roi Zefron. C’est pourquoi mes amis, ma soeur et moi devons arrêter le roi Zefron avant qu’il ne réunisse les deux univers parallèles, ce qui serait une destruction totale.

Book 2:
The future is never a straight path.

Hey, my name is Alia. In this story my friends, my sister and I find out that we cannot destroy Lord Zefron because of his mechanism. We also find out the exact date that the parallel universe will merge. We later make it to Bartha’s place. She has a solution to how we can stop the universes from reuniting. But with every good thing comes a price to pay. We collect a load of items to prepare ourselves for this mission. So, we need once again to find a way to save the galaxy before the total destruction caused by the parallel universes.

Le future n’est jamais un chemin droit.

Hey mon nom est Alia. Dans cette histoire mes amies, ma soeur et moi ont découvert que nous ne pouvons pas détruire Le roi Zefron à cause de son mécanisme.

On a aussi découvert la date exacte à laquelle les deux univers parallèles vont se réunir. Quand nous sommes arrivés au château de Bartha, Bartha avait une solution comment empêcher les deux univers parallèles de se réunir. Mais pour toute bonne chose il ya un prix à payer. Nous avons donc collectionné beaucoup d’objects pour préparer à cette mission. Une fois de plus mes amies, ma soeur et moi doivent trouver un moyen de sauver la galaxie avant que les univers parallèles causent une destruction totale.

Book 3:
A light in the darkness . . .

Hey, my name is Lily and in this volume the nightmare truly begins. So, I, Alia Reven, and the rest of the group finally prepare a plan to stop the two worlds from merging. We had everything planned out, or so we thought . . . When The Telepathies sisters did the spell of Senyria, they awakened a hidden dark force that is out to destroy the world, which goes by the name of the black mist, or Devoile. Friends get possessed, new worlds are unlocked, hidden mysteries are discovered, and, worst of all, our friends, the world and realms are all in danger, ’cause in this volume the nightmare begins!

Une lumière dans le noire . . .
Bonjour mon c’est Lily et dans cette tome le cauchemar a commencé. Alors moi, Alia, Reven et tout le rest du groupe ont finalement trouvé un plan pour arrêter les deux mondes de se reunir. Nous avons prevu chaque etape ou on pensait avoir . . . Quand les soeurs Telepathie ont fait le sortilège de Senyria, elles ont révélé une nouvelle force du mal qui s’appelle la brume noir ou Devoile. Nos amis deviennent possedés, deux nouveaux mondes se montrent, des secrets inconnu sont révélé mais la plus mauvaise. Nos amis, l’univers et tout le monde sont en danger car dans cette tome le cauchemar a . . . vraiment commencer!

What inspired you to write this book?
Parallel universes and the mysteries of the galaxy.

 

Excerpt from Book 2: A Link Between Two Worlds / Un lien entre deux modes:
Volume 3: Together forever / Ensemble pour toujours
Chapter 4 : Familiar enemies

Sinis: Emma !!

Cronix: Well, well, well…I never thought I would see you again after our last encounter. It was a bit boring don’t you think?

Sinis: Cronix, what are you doing here? And, most importantly, let Emma go!

Cronix: Who is this little fella? Haha, don’t tell me you actually want her free. Don’t you hate her? After all, she deserves a punishment. All of your friends do.

 

What exciting story are you working on next?
Sneak peeks of my next books ideas that could be published (possibly):

Note: These are not the books names.

  1. Will they ever wake up? And can they defeat the threat they already defeated…?
  2. A destiny that is dark and light. Could she possibly change what she was created for?
  3. I came here, with no memory of myself. I must remember because if not I could lose myself forever…
  4. We thought we knew everything, but we did not. The world we used to know has now changed!

When did you first consider yourself a writer?
I guess it was when I started writing my first book of the series “A link between two worlds / Un lien entre deux mondes.”

Do you write full-time? If so, what’s your work day like? If not, what do you do other than write and how do you find time to write?
There isn’t really a “certain time” for me to write, I just do it when I have ideas. I usually write for most of the day if I have a lot of ideas. If not, I mostly play video games with my brother and my uncle as well as watching my favorites shows (Home renovation, architecture, cooking, adventure).

What would you say is your interesting writing quirk?
I love ending books on cliff hanger.

Sneak peek: “THE END…WELL FOR NOW…”

As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
At first, I wanted to be a baker or something related to cooking, but now I want to be an architect.

Anything additional you want to share with the readers?
Nothing additional to share at the moment other than my exciting next books projects…
