SUSAN RUBIO: In this new novel I talk about the story of four sisters who live in a wooden house in the middle of the forest, in the Basque Country, with their father. The idea came up watching the Little Women movie, a movie that I love.
- AL: Can you go back to that first book you read? And the first story you wrote?
SR: Impossible to know which was the first because I have always been a great reader, but I remember The Hollisters as one of my favourites. The first story was after reading Twilight, I was inspired by these books and wrote a fantasy romance trilogy which is in the drawer.

SR: I would have loved to meet Victor de Valeria from BenaventI think it has all the ingredients to be a crush perfect.

SR: I'm sorry see how do those above manage us and we do nothing (me the first). The positive thing is that we always end up overcoming it, I don't know how, but we do.
