Cari lettori,
oggi ho il piacere di presentarvi un'autrice che scrive di vampiri: Stefania Auci . Ancora una volta sono incappata accidentalmente in una scrittrice molto ma molto brava e devo ammettere che insomma un pò i fiuto anch'io ce l'ho no? :) Comunque il suo libro è una raccolta di 3 racconti intotolata "Hidden in the dark" edito da 0111 edizioni.
Trovate la mia recensione del romanzo: QUI
Ciao Stefania, benvenuta nel mio blog Italian Emerging Writers. Ti va di presentarti al pubblico?
Per il resto, sono una persona normalissima.
Ci parli del tuo primo libro Hidden in the dark pubblicato in marzo dalla collana Rosso Cuore? Come è stata questa tua first experience of publication?
Hidden was an "experiment" difficult, first because, in general, Italian readers do not like the stories, and secondly because I wanted enticed without revealing too much of my stories. In addition, nearly three months since I can say with sincerity: I feared the opinion of the player king, says Barbara Risoli.
Instead, the results were ... fantastic. I have no other way to describe the warmth and appreciation that have surrounded this little book and I can only thank those who continue to support me and him. I feel reassured and encouraged to andare avanti lungo la mia strada che, per inciso, è tutt'altro che facile, vista la concorrenza agguerrita e la netta preferenza che dimostrano le case editrici medio-grandi per le autrici straniere.
Non mi stancherò mai di ringraziare Cristina Contili e Samanta Catastini: sono due persone di grandissima professionalità e immense doti umane. Averle come curatrici è stato un onore.
Il tempo che scorre loro addosso, la capacità di guardare to human beings without poetry that often characterizes us. Sometimes, we do not have the courage to admit what could be the poor man, how overrated the historical evolution. In the end, humanity makes the same mistakes. Here, I thought that a being who lives for ever noticing this flaw, and look at human hypocrisy with disenchantment.
Why your vampires are not like those we read about a lot these days? With typical human feelings and despite their very nature seek redemption? Why seek to enhance your stories in their inhuman nature?
Why are inhuman. seems a sort of nonsense, especially after reading Christmas in 1978 and Heriot Row, but I assure you it is not. The two main characters change, and a lot, but never completely abdicate their true nature. Oliver is and remains a murderess, Samuel, who also experienced the hard way human love, it melts in sorrow for his past. It's part of him, and he will not and can not give it up.
Your passion for vampires born as coneguenza boom of paranormal romance books that there was in this period in Italy and is rooted in you the longest?
If I say that my first, true novel at sixteen was about a vampire in New York ... Well, I think that shows that my "sources" are far from fashion. So are my characters: in them there is an extreme research of acquittal. Indeed, to be honest, do not want any acquittal because they think they need it.
The setting of your story is more specifically Scotland Edinburgh and Moray Place. What binds you to these places?
Karma? No, joke ... In truth, I do not know: it's a question I get asked by many. I only know that I have been to Scotland twice and in both cases I felt a deep sense of belonging. Edinburgh took my heart and left me no more.
When I got the inspiration for these stories? And more specifically for the characters of Samuel and Oliver?
While the Lady in Violet was born as the desire to tell the life of Samuel and Oliver in their "everyday life", the other two stories are two "fixed points", two points in their long life. Two snapshots, in short, in which I have crystallized their thoughts. They are part of the saga I wrote, and have their exact location.
As for my characters, I can say that arise from images, from ideas that I had inside. The moment I started the PC, have come out by themselves, with their characteristics that make them very different and yet similar.
There are actors or models, in particular, embody the image you have in mind these two characters? I thought about it later, really. Samuel is the most difficult. I can not find an angelic face and perverse like his eyes that go all that ... no, I can not say more! (Spoilers!)
If I find an actor, I can Alessio Boni, Oliver, is simpler: Cliwe Owen is a good starting point ... but with less pronounced features. More aristocrats. What are the authors who have most influenced you?
Ci puoi svelare qualcosa sul tuo prossimo libro? Qualche succosa news in anteprima per noi?
Vorrei potervi dare qualcosa di succoso, come una pubblicazione... ma ahimè non ve ne è traccia! La saga di Moray Place 12, 3 volumi, è terminata e adesso sono all'opera su un progetto totalmente diverso. Spero di poter trovare un Editore ( con la E, appunto) coraggioso che si fidi delle mie storie e punti su di me, dandomi la possibilità di farmi conoscere. Non perché non mi sia trovata bene con la 0111, quanto per avere maggiore visibilità. E 'futile to be hypocritical on this point.
What do you think of Italian publishing in relation to emerging authors?
What is difficult, with high barriers to entry and difficult to overcome. You write too much and read too little, and this at the expense of quality. The response time for a manuscript may get one year ... provided that you give the the answer. And then you have to be lucky enough to happen in the hands of an editor who is not tired of reading blunders. Passiamoci the hand on your heart: we are not authors of the samples of grammar and syntax ...
You sites or blogs where they can follow?

'll be waiting!
This was the last question. Do you have something before you say goodbye?
Cheer for me and keep your fingers crossed ... and thanks for giving me the floor. You were really very kind!
