The 1st fantasy book I wrote & am going to share here was inspired by two true stories from my mother's youth. She really had a short friend with beard who 'looked like a leprechaun' & fell in love with her, but she chose someone else. And a bat really sat on her windowsill one stormy night & scared her making some noise, but didn't fly inside the room (vampires need invitation, right? ;) ). She told me about it when I was a little girl. I remembered it & many years later I decided to write this book. The main character here is called Liliana, just like me. She's based on me & has most of the features I really have (+ some magical leprechaun & vampire superpowers she discovers when she grows up). There are also some memories from my real life past included in this story, but the rest is just pure imagination, as you will soon find out. Liliana has always differed from her human peers, she was stronger & more intelligent than other kids of her age. She learnt faster than them, had an inborn sense of justice, she loved nature & music, & when she grew out of bedtime stories, she started to like horror movies. Her favourite monsters have always been vampires. She also had some vampire features herself, but not totally. In a mild but noticeable way: her skin was quite pale & she got sunburned much easier than her friends, as a teen she started to look younger than other humans of her age, her teeth were stronger than human teeth & her nails were also stronger & growing faster than human nails. All of her senses were stronger too. And one night she had a dream that finally explained it all. That is how her story of discovering who she really was begins, cause she finds out that she's something more than just a human being, as she's always thought...
