Featured Interview With Author Sherlina Idid
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I studied in Coventry University, United Kingdom and graduated with a BA Hons in International Relations & Politics. I have been in human resource management line for a few years. I like cats whereby I spend sometime with my children pet and sometimes when the neighbour cat drops by. I love travelling to other countries which led me to be exposed to other cultures, environments, and sightseeing which eventually sparked me to write my first novel.
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I love reading books, especially adventure and mystery, at the tender age of seven. I used to bring novels in hand wherever I went, in the car to restaurants, supermarkets, or even visiting. It encourages me to imagine things that I do not need to experience and how skillful in solving a mystery or an adventure.
I have wanted to write since 2017; however, due to time constraints with working in a famous oil & gas company, I only manage to start writing in the year 2020 when covid kicks in. The countless lockdowns encouraged me to start writing.
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
During her early years, she was exposed to Enid Blyton books like secret seven, Hardy Boys, & Famous Five, and Nancy Drew.
In addition, her interest in readings includes mysteries & thrillers. Her interest in traveling has led her to be exposed to other cultures, environments, and sightseeing which eventually sparked her to write her first novel Mystical Adventure of Ashley Sprinkler (Book Series).
Her readings expanded to a thriller like Stephen Kings, solving mysteries like Agatha Christies, which led her to expand her writings to encompass the psychological thriller genre (novel out in April) and thriller (out in January 2023)

What phenomenon could it be?
It took me a year to complete writing and editing this novel with some hiccups in the formatting. This time I wanted to give readers who buy the paperback version a memorable experienced; therefore, each chapter has a graphic design with a hint of an object drawn by my child that depicts the mysterious object in this novel.
