❝The biggest thing I learned on this adventure—other than promising myself never to follow Aria into one of her crazy ideas again—is that you can’t trust someone just because they look important or have a fancy title. A crown or shiny outfit doesn’t make a person good. Appearances can trick you! It’s way smarter to pay attention to people’s actions. Kind of like not judging a video game by its cover before you even play it. ❞
❝The most important lesson I learned—besides proving that Liam is totally wrong and I’m always right—is that dreams really can come true! I used to think time travel only happened in my imagination, but now it’s real. More importantly, I discovered that trusting my instincts actually works, and that teamwork makes all the difference.❞
❝When I was young enough to dream beyond reality, I often imagined traveling back in time to save key moments in history and wondered how the world might have changed if I had. That spark of imagination grew into a lifelong passion for history. To me, history is more than dates and events; it’s the stories of women and men, just like us, trying to navigate life as best they can. It can be full of wonder and fantasy, but most importantly, it carries wisdom.
So it felt natural for me to share this passion with children in a way that is both entertaining and inspiring. Ancient Egypt has always been one of my favorite eras with its fascinating pharaohs, powerful culture, and magical gods. In fact, it’s the period that first made me fall in love with history. That’s why I chose Ramesses II as the focus of the very first Aria & Liam adventure.
As for Aria and Liam themselves, I believe deeply in the strength of friendships between girls and boys. These kinds of relationships can help us grow in harmony and understanding between genders. That’s why I wanted two best friends—so different, yet almost like siblings—to lead the way in this series.❞
