Guided by this vision, I meticulously designed the book series, interlacing virtual worlds and experiences within the story itself. I soon discovered that each aspect influenced the other, like twins with distinct identities yet inextricably linked.

While I’ve taken some artistic liberties to create narrative intrigue, my goal has always been to merge fact and fiction to craft a believable alternate reality for my readers. The Chelsea Hotel, Studio 54, and Hell’s Kitchen—all iconic parts of New York’s history—have formed the foundation of Paradise.

Please continue to savour your favourite book under the sun’s warmth or on a cosy, rainy afternoon. The simple pleasure of reading, fueled by nothing more than your imagination, is irreplaceable. But should you desire to delve deeper, I invite you to accompany me as we journey through these virtual worlds and forge your own unique experiences. Whatever your inclination, I trust these books will serve as your gateway and touchstone.
