Inspired by the wonders of the past, Coline created the Aria & Liam series to spark young readers' imaginations and take them into the wonders of history.
A citizen of the world, she has lived on four continents and who knows where her next chapter will unfold?
What awaits you within the pages of the books?
History
Throughout my life, I have maintained an unwavering passion for history. It not only immerses me in captivating eras of the past but also, as an adult, I recognize the invaluable lessons we can derive from historical events. As we delve deeper into history’s narratives, we come to understand its tendency to repeat itself. Nonetheless, this need not be our inevitable course; we have the capacity to extract wisdom from history, thereby avoiding the replication of past mistakes. Within history’s vast trove of knowledge lies an abundance of life wisdom, accessible and beneficial for all to embrace and learn from.
Adventure
Life is an adventure: much like scaling a mountain where we encounter both ups and downs. As we embark on these life journeys, we are presented with invaluable opportunities to obtain profound lessons about life and self-discovery. When we view our challenges as thrilling adventures from which we can learn, the journey becomes an extraordinary odyssey that we wish never to end. This is precisely why I found it essential to subject Aria and Liam to demanding adventures, wherein they must push their boundaries to attain success while absorbing priceless insights along the way.
Humor
Life becomes even more enjoyable when sprinkled with humor. Having the ability to find the funny side of situations is one of the best qualities we can possess. That’s why humor plays a significant role in the books, even when Aria and Liam encounter challenging circumstances.
Friendship
How would we manage without our friends? In a world that’s growing increasingly individualistic, I couldn’t help but highlight the immense worth of friendships. We can be resilient on our own, but together, we become even more potent. In the books, both Aria and Liam possess their unique strengths and weaknesses, and neither of them single-handedly saves the other. Instead, they work as a team, utilizing their respective qualities to unravel mysteries and achieve their goals.
