MariaChiara CABRINI

Dear readers,




interview today is that I did at Cabrini Mariachiara author of "Imprinting Love." I highly recommend his book editions published by 0111. The review that I did find the novel: qui . Vi consiglio sempre di Mariachiara anche il suo romanzo La fiamma del destino che trovate online qui .









Ciao Mariachiara e benvenuta nel mio blog Italian Emerging Writers, ti va di presentarti al pubblico?

Salve a tutti mi chiamo Mariachiara ho 27 anni e vivo a Mantova. Sono laureata in Storia dell'arte ma il mio sogno sarebbe lavorare nel campo dell'editoria e magari riuscire a mantenermi scrivendo. Leggo tantissimo, anche in lingua originale e gestisco un blog dedicato ai libri L'arte dello scrivere http://weirde.splinder.com


La tua passione per la scrittura quando è start? It 'was a sequel to your passion for reading and for books or something you've always had?

I have always loved to read what I remember, my father accused me of giving small and yet still unable to read by myself pretending I read and rileggesero stories again and again without ever getting tired. Then in elementary school I started to write my stories, I still have six or seven notebooks full of stories, I have not abut the courage to take them back in their hands, though. At first they were kind of scripts that I put in my scene barbie, then the copiioni for cartoon characters, in fact I liked the idea of \u200b\u200bcontrolling the characters and tell them what they should do. Then adolescence
I was silenced, and only in high school I started writing 17 years and did the first draft of embryonic Imprinting love, but then was called whatever you want. Then once you've opened my blog three years ago I found the courage to start writing seriously.
So much for writing, reading still is a passion that has never left me, I have the room and the house full of books and if I had not gone to the ebook do not know how I could do. I love especially science fiction, fantasy, and historical novels, preferably with a touch of romance, and I had several phases, the phase Isabel Allende, Banana Yoshimoto, Asimov, Jane Austen and many more until I discovered thanks to a TV show Buffy new genus now I'm passionate about the urban fantasy.


tell us how did the love story told in your first novel "Love Imprinting." What was your initial idea for the novel? History has always been basically the same or has changed radically from your initial idea.

The initial idea has remained the same. Anna timda and reserves and not looking for a beautiful way to win her man, is the eternal theme of the ugly duckling becomes a swan. But originally the plot was more complex. Thomas and Cordelia had more space, the book was developed more or less as it is now until the night of love, but then Anna was put out of spite con Tommaso e Marco non capiva i suoi sentimenti finchè non era troppo tardi, in una versione non li capiva proprio mai e scopriva i sentimenti di Anna per lui sull'areo che lo portava lontano da lei grazie ad un lettera che però gli era arrivata tropo tardi, c'era anche una corsa strappalacrime all'areoporto....cassai subito quella versione come troppo melodrammatica e cinematografica. In realtà tutte le varie versione che ho scritto negli anni sono ste cancellate, non riuscivo a venirne a capo, finchè finalmente stufa e spronata dal termine per presntare un romanzo al concorso indetto dalla Mondadori (What women write) non mi sono decisa a prendere in mano più seriamente il mio lavoro. Ho cassato tutto ciò che stonava e ho SEMPLIFICATO E SEMPLIFICATO. Era il mio primo romanzo e non ero in grado di portare avanti una trama troppo complessa. Ho schematizzato i capitoli e finalmente ho concluso il romanzo.
L'dea dell'imprinting, che poi ha dato vita ad un nuovo titolo per il romanzo, mi è venuta guardando in tv un film dove una bambina veniva vista come mamma da uno stormo di oche a causa proprio del'imprinting. Mi sono chiesta? Se vale per le oche perchè non per l'uomo è l'unica cosa logica che potrebbe spiegare una cosa illogica come l'amore non corrisposto.


Anna anche se timida in fondo in fondo è una ragazza molto forte con grande personalità che alla fine trovato un pò di coraggio per uscire allo scoperto ha saputo far avverare il suo sogno. E' a character that reflects you?

I would say no, perhaps in shyness, but I'm really cynical, realistic, too much sometimes, and if I were Anna, at the end of the novel would have given a good kick in the bottom just to wake him up a little Marco. Scherzo ... But no, I reflected a lot on the whole.


How autobiographical is your novel?

Not much, in fact almost nothing, perhaps the character of Samantha in different things and I like the irony that permeates the novel, but otherwise the book was born as a beautiful fairy tale nothing more. I'm much more convoluted when Anna and myself are very good chin.


Qual'è il messaggio che vorresti lanciare al lettore?

No so se emerge per chi legge il romanzo, ma Marco e l'amore che anna prova per lui, in realtà sono più un simbolo che altro, Anna usa questo suo amore non corrisposto per nascondersi e non correre rischi nella sua vita. Non è ciò che prova per Marco che le ha impedito di avere altre storie, ma la sua stessa paura. E durante il libro più volte riemerge questo suo terrore di esporsi e rischiare, il romanzo è una parabola di come si debba osare nella vita per ottenere ciò che si vuole, e soprattutto per essere ciò che si può essere a pieno. Non importa che Marco ricambi il suo amore in fondo, il vero lieto fine è che Anna at the end of the novel is a apersona different from before finally leaving the shell. Not that this makes it more happy, but certainly makes it more achievable.


How did you feel when you finally completed the novel?

I took off behind a boulder dale and yet at the same time exposing it to other terror gripped me ..... I felt like a mother who accompanies her son on the first day of school to see him happy but grew frightened by the detachment and what can happen to your child what the other will make him and tell him ....


Tell us a little bit of your experience by publishing this novel. It 'been easy, difficult, suffered ...

I'd suffered. I sent the contest Mondadori, and several publishing houses, only that the competition was protatto for a year before the final decision and this prevented me from accepting of other publishers in the vain hope of being published by Mondadori. So in the end I had no publishing houses willing to pubbici when I finally learned not to win the competition. To pique (yes I'm a vengeful person) the h self-publish with Lulu.com and I must say that it's a nice service. Lulu's edition was very nice and for each copy sold had revenues of all respect, the only problem was that the book was bought only by the lulu site.
Then I heard that two emerging writers come me aveva fatto un acordo con la casa editrice 0111 per creare una collana di autrici rosa e mi sono proposta con Imprinting love. Così il romanzo è stato pubblicato, 30 copie, con la 0111 ed è reperibile su diversi siti online italiani di vedita di libri. Peccato che io non vedrò un solo centesimo di diritti d'autore. Diciamo che l'ho fatto più che altro per pubblicizzare un pò il mio lavoro e per farmi conoscere. Spero di riuscire a vendere le 30 copie.


Sappiamo che ti sei molto impegnata nel tuo progetto di pubblicazione di alcune autrici urban fantasy qui in italia e ne abbiamo visto i risultati soprattutto con la casa editrice Newton e Compton che ha già cominciato a pubblicare la serie della scrittrice Kery dedicated to Arthur Riley Jensen and soon will also publish the series featuring vampires by Christine Feehan. What do you expect for the future? Do you think other publishers will follow in the footsteps of Newton and listen more to the readers?

I have seen progress in high publishing houses, my only fear is pubbici of so many authors of one kind is likely to tire the readers. I do not know what to expect sincerely, publishing in America is more diverse. I believe that several publishers have realized that in times of crisis and rising prices of the books must roll up our sleeves and listen to the readers is part of this.


We know you have written other literary works. Would you talk about you? What is the work that you're more connected? Why?

I have written several short stories and two novels, a fantasy and urban fantasy. Certainly the novel I'm most fond of is the flame of destiny, the fantasy that I worked for three years now. It 's a most mature work and I think it is beautiful, at least I'm nice, and I began to outline a following. I would really would be published by a publisher rather famous, I sent it around and now, expect any replies, I think could have happened, but unfortunately what I believe I do not have much say. Having said that as publishers we have seen hours listening to readers perciò se passerete a leggere i capitoli che ho messo online qui: http://mywritten.wordpress.com/
E vi piaceranno, fatevi santire ad case editrici come Piemme,Salani, Armando Curcio editore, Giunti, Nord, chiedendo venga pubblicato. Magari funziona.

Sono affeziona alla fiamma del destino perchè parla di diversi temi a me cari e trovo che i personaggi che la animano siano più realistici di quelli delle altre mie opere.
E soprattutto con un eroina che non deve salvare il mondo facendo qualcosa, ma non facendolo....semplicemente lasciandosi andare e fidandosi degli altri.


Qual'è il consiglio che ti senti di dare ad altri scrittore esordienti?

Oddio, I am also so I would say I am also on your own boat so I understand. Do not give up though and they will tell you that you have talent or do not go well for them continue to write, because you do not write out of pride or arrogance, or to eat, but Stories, so long as you have stories to tell you write.
That said, the first rule for writing a decent book and check and re-read ad nauseum, have it read to others, leaving the passage of time and reread again and again. And then read a lot and be inspired to read books, to write better and better.

INTERVISTA

Ciao Teresa benvenuta nel mio blog Italian Emerging Writers, è un piacere per me ospitarti qui! Hai voglia di presentarti?

Ciao Alessandra e grazie per avermi ospitato nel tuo bel blog dedicato agli scrittori emergenti. Mi chiamo Teresa e come molti ho la passione per la scrittura. Una passione che è nata quando ero bambina, grazie a mia madre che sin dalla tenera età mi ha sensibilizzato a leggere prima i grandi classici per ragazzi e poi tutti quei libri che in un modo o nell’altro hanno segnato la storia della letteratura di tutti i tempi. Sono convinta che insegnare ai bambini l’amore per la lettura sia una cosa davvero fondamentale. Why read a good book helps the imagination to grow and develop, then it does not remain anchored to those perceptions that have natural children, but to make it fly higher. Accostatami these books require a certain level, I realized that I would somehow like to write. So enamored of this conviction I started to write a book too, as a child, a yellow to be exact. The same idea has also had my sister. I would note that while we were at the desk in our bedroom, we wrote each of us his manuscript. I especially felt a strong attraction, a certain joy in the record what my imagination suggested to me. I think, infatti, che fin da bambini si mostrano le proprie inclinazioni. E così poi successivamente scrissi altre storie, mentre mia sorella non si cimentò più. Ovviamente sono rimaste incompiute, ma se a distanza di tempo rileggo quegli scritti non mi sorprende ritrovare un grande entusiasmo, una grande inventiva. Per me scrivere era ed è un autentico momento di felicità. Poi, non c’è che dire, sono stata abbastanza fortunata nell’essere dotata di una smisurata fantasia. Certo, quando c’è tanta immaginazione, soprattutto in giovanissima età, non si ha la maturità nel saperla gestire opportunamente. Ma, credo, che comunque è buon punto di partenza per accostarsi al mondo della scrittura.


Tell us about your fantasy novel "The Glass Dolls"?

"The Glass Dolls" is precisely, as you say you love me, a fantasy. It 's a book that came to light in 2007, but was born many years earlier. I started to write it until 1996, but then suddenly I dropped the manuscript. I had written before "The Sand Witches - The Legend of Primrose" and the two stories were similar too. One of my characteristics is that of trying to write books different from each other, so as not to repeat myself, but also to experiment with new ways of telling. I took the manuscript of "The Glass Dolls" later. I was writing my first book of short stories, "Bubble, Bubble! Twelve short stories, "and I just put it in this collection as a long story. But because it was too long, so I decided to publish it separately. The story takes a bit away 'from my original idea, but my intent is to use writing as a place of reflection, as well as avoidance, has succeeded fully.


Where did you get the inspiration for the subject of the book?

The inspiration came to me by reading a small booklet, "The Canterville Ghost" by Oscar Wilde, around the eighties. I tried some time ago, among my papers if he had jotted down the idea (it is my habit when I have an idea write it down in the first paper that happens to me!), but I found nothing. Evidently I did well in the minds. But the book is influenced by other great books like "The Doll" by Boleslaw Prus, "Wuthering Heights" by Emily Bronte and "On the Road" by Jack Kerouak.


What is the character who most represents you?

Mah .. Throughout the book represents me a bit. In every character there is a small part of me. We can talk about favorite character. Well ... Latakia is indisputable that Berard, the beautiful model in Reinhold is in love. I like it because I really love fashion, as a child, besides writing, I have this passion for fashion. I would note that the models in magazines tore the clothes that I liked more and gathered them into a folder containing. And why has a way of looking at life disenchanted, since it has the power of the future. Do not create illusions seems to me a mature way to deal with life. Be careful, do not mean that we should not dream or be alone with his feet on the ground. This no. But I mean in having a certain wisdom in knowing how to make a point to situations, that is dreaming, yes, but holding firmly to reality, precisely to prevent the shattering of our illusions when you have no bend at all. It seems to me that all the characters between Latakia is the absolute best to deliver this message. And then I also like that for his intuition of which I have equipped, a prerogative of us women. We women than men have sometimes that intuition that allows us to avoid certain situations or to understand them. Maybe because we can be mothers.


Which writers have most influenced your style?

There is one writer in particular that has influenced my style, but books. And 'is significant that a text tracks in my field and a sign that I want to admiration, vuoi per emulazione, vuoi per imitazione, ho seguito. Non sono però solo libri che mi sono piaciuti; molto spesso sono libri che non mi sono piaciuti e, allora, per discostarmene ho ricercato un nuovo stile, un nuovo modo di raccontare le mie storie.


Perchè hai scelto il genere fantasy?

Il fantasy è un genere che mi è congeniale. Data la mia traboccante immaginazione. E poi con il fantasy si può spaziare con i vari generi. Puoi costruire storie d’amore, puoi scrivere di mistero, non ci sono limiti. Forse l’unico genere (ma che comunque amo moltissimo) che non si può introdurre è quello del romanzo prettamente storico. Sì... molti libri storici sono fantasiosi, ma rimangono giustamente ancorati al loro tempo.


Quali sono i temi principali del romanzo? E quale messaggio vorresti lanciare ai lettori che leggono il tuo romanzo?

La storia non è molto semplice da raccontare, perché ho costruito una trama molto articolata. Praticamente sono due trame in una. Narra dell’avventura soprannaturale di Reinhold Kyd, un ragazzo di una ventina d’anni, che dovrà combattere contro l’avverso Tempo per liberare la contessina Virginia di Bergeijk da un terribile maleficio. L’intento è quello di dar voce, attraverso le belle frasi pronunciate dai personaggi, a tutta quella sfera di sentimenti e sensazioni che permettono di descrivere una piccola the human dimension. We are made of these feelings and move us toward situations. We can shape, it is true, thanks to free will, but we can not prevent certain things happen in our lives. As such, death. We can delay it, but it is an event that is part of our existence. Then, if the ghosts of the past somehow populate our consciousness can well understand how in our present reality is inextricably part of the past. While the future looks uncertain and our expectations may be disappointed, this is the continuum of the past, we must then reconnect to the history of our ancestors to understand our existence. We are fabric, so to speak, already sewn by those who came before us.


What was your path as a writer? Explain how you even managed to publish your book. Do you have any advice for emerging writers?

Initially I tried to write long stories, but then abandoned the manuscripts, and thus the stories there were still incomplete. Then I ventured a little 'with the poems, but with poor results. And so I chose the stories and from there you understand many things. Especially the dynamics of the narrative. You have an idea and write it down somewhere just to take it up. But while the story the narrative texture is developed in a few pages, with novels have to be careful about many things. The contradictions, for example. Obviously disappear if we re-read the text and meditate. I think it is good to do some creative writing class, but unfortunately are not free, help in some way to develop the idea of \u200b\u200bnarrative text. Writing, in fact, is not speaking yet as the story or novel must be approached as possible to something that is told orally. The Greek tradition with the Iliad and the Odyssey has been handed down this idea of \u200b\u200bnarrative. We know that these two great works were written by Homer, but we also know that were passed down orally. What does this mean? That history has come down to us through the storytellers who repeats it in the streets and the courts of kings. It would be good to read and write every day (the idea of \u200b\u200bkeeping a diary and write down their thoughts of what happened is a good resource for the year), this is the advice I can give to those who want to pull over this coveted job.


When did you discover your passion for writing?

As I said before as a child, a theme played fantastically at home and a poem dedicated to my teacher. These writings of which I speak are the first ever, of course, followed by yellow, and other stories from my personal diary.


Tell us about your other literary works.

I wrote "Sand Witches - The Legend of Primrose." It 's a fantasy tale. Unlike previously published works expected to continue, so the story unfolds in multiple volumes. When I created then I thought about dividing it into five volumes, then I had, as it were an afterthought, dictated by my momentary loss (I was struck by the famous writer's block for a few years and are no longer able to continue the story) , but now I can not give a number to the volume of the saga, but for now I have three more planned over the five already designed. Then, everything will depend on the inspiration of the moment. Meanwhile I'm working on the second volume (it's much bigger than the first!) Which will be titled "Sand Witches - In search of memories." I would like to devote myself to writing other stories, but it is really impossible. Even now that I'm correcting the text ideas to add chapters changing history, so ... However, one thing is certain: the subtitles of the other books in the series were all designed already, so ... wait!


you planning any presentation? Tell us about your future projects.

Yes to the witches' sabbath - The legend of Primrose will make presentations, but for now it is premature talk about it yet since the book was not published. But it is one thing I do: it is important and essential to meet the people, not just talk about history, but also for an ideal comparison with my readers.


You have the sites where they can follow? Where can I buy your books?

course. Amando write I have not resisted the temptation to have blogs. Yes .. I speak in the plural because I had two. The first, "A city transparent to itself" (http://digater.blogspot.com/), was a place where I noted from time to time a story scribbled when I was a bit 'of time. I'm talking about the past because I have recently closed. In fact, this story will probably become a book of the same name and, therefore, no longer seemed appropriate to post it from time to time on the blog. But the blog is still available, that will be online to read the first and the second chapter and then I may come in handy if and when the book comes out because you will write down everything about the book precisely. Additionally, this blog you can see some beautiful pictures I took (my other passion!). The second, "Teresa" (http://tdigaetano.spaces.live.com/) is my personal journal, notes, and really a bit 'of everything. I wanted a po’ ricuperare l’antica idea di blog, perché oggi la maggior parte dei blog sono tematici (o si parla solo di recensioni di libri, o solo di recensioni di film), invece ho ripreso l’antica idea del blog che era un diario on line dove poter pubblicare le proprie vicende.

Per quanto riguarda i miei libri, si possono acquistare soprattutto su internet. Ad esempio su ibs, bol.it, etc. e sul sito della Casa editrice, ecco i link rispettivamente per “La bambola di vetro” e “Conchiglia... e altri racconti”:

http://www.clubautori.it/teresa.di.gaetano/la.bambola.di.vetro

http://www.clubautori.it/teresa.di.gaetano/conchiglia.e.altri.racconti

Vorrei precisare che la Casa editrice spedisce eventualmente il libro alle librerie che lo ordineranno. Basta mettersi direttamente in contatto con loro, compilando l’apposito modulo presente sul sito.


Questa era l'ultima domanda. Vuoi aggiungere qualcosa prima di lasciarci?

Sì... spero mi seguirete numerosi nel mio difficile percorso di aspirante scrittrice, perché la mia passione è autentica, genuina. Amo scrivere perché è un pò come vivere tante vite, quelle dei miei personaggi, con storie diverse sì ma con un unico intento: far volare lontano la fantasia.

Best Engine Water Cooling

Interview with Federico CRAMPONS

Cari lettori ,



the interview that follows was made Federica Ramponi, author of the book that I reviewed in my blog Diary of Thoughts Lost "Vitar's heir."
I recommend his book because although it is not very long really was a pleasant read and Federica is a really nice person and available!










Hello Federico, you want to introduce yourself to readers? Tell us a little about yourself.
Alessandra Hello! First of all, thanks for your time! My name is Federico Ramponi, Class 73, Diploma in Languages, Mom (Helen di 6 anni e Alessandra di quasi 3), moglie di Fabio, impiegata, cantante e scrittrice a tempo molto, molto perso. Tutte queste attività si sono accumulate nel corso degli anni, e sono una la conseguenza/causa dell'altra. Prima di conoscere mio marito cantavo nei pianobar, poi ho smesso perché sono arrivate le bambine e allora ho cominciato a scrivere perché in maternità avevo un po' di tempo libero e l'ispirazione. Adesso che le pupe sono svezzate ho ricominciato a cantare proprio con Fabio, però non voglio smettere di scrivere, ma mi rendo conto che il tempo a mia disposizione è scaduto… quindi sono lenta: sono ferma a pag. 119 del nuovo romanzo da almeno un mese. Però in testa c'è tutto, e molto altro! E poi Elena is a great gym constantly asks me to make up stories! I love reading, especially science fiction, fantasy and yellow: each time I look at the library and I think it will take me until 2035 to read everything, but I do not lose hope! The house is always in disorder and chaos reigns supreme, but the cleaning of the base ... I


What do you like the fantasy / science fiction? Why did you decide to write a book on the genre?

Even as a child watching Star Trek with my mom, and always with her films with Cary Grant, Doris Day, Audrey Hepburn movies ... those beautiful 50's loads of feeling, so romantic! Nella mia testa si deve essere creato un mix latente fino a oggi! Della fantascienza mi piace quasi tutto, tranne quella più violenta o splatter, quindi largo a Star Trek, Star Wars, Asimov, Silverberg, Wells, Verne, i classici dell'Età d'Oro, ma anche certo Dick e altri più moderni, però al momento sono un po' poco aggiornata. Mi piace come descrivono la nostra possibile vita da qui all'infinito, l'incontro con altre civiltà, non solo le scoperte e le invenzioni, ma anche i cambiamenti della società, le conseguenze a cui possono portare determinati comportamenti reali, il quadro, ottimista o pessimista, del nostro futuro se non fermiamo in tempo lo spreco, la violenza e la cecità delle nostre azioni. Fa riflettere and critique of modern society and no one can restrain it, because the government is talking of a given nation, but the tyrant of Planet XYZ. It has passed the complaint on several occasions in this way. Fantasy, which also can have the same value in some cases, but I like the complete evasion, the dream, the dream-like dimension of its representations and magic that pervades the narratives.
My novel is based on a dream, and until I set up "virtual paper" did not know he wanted to quit! In my subconscious mind had to be mixed a bit 'of love stories of old movies and ships led by blue-skinned aliens, and here's a novel that combines my favorite lines!


Since you mentioned your story, tell us a little bit of "The heir of Vitar?
It 's a fantasy-harmony: as my father once said, you have just written a story of love between the stars. It has taken us!
It 's a bit like I told a story: the princess Feri, Vitar the world, lived in almost complete isolation at the age of 21 years must choose her future husband among those proposed within a limited the principles of the planets of the League of Llety, a confederation of planets more or less similar in both technology and tradition. Unfortunately one of these, Drel, coffin, in the sense that plagiarizes Feri's parents that the selection sia quasi obbligata, e quando lei scopre che Drel ha un'amante e che questa l'ha probabilmente aiutato nel loro assassinio, cerca una scappatoia legale a questo matrimonio forzato. Il Primo Ministro l'aiuta: deve cercare un contendente da opporre a Drel, che vanti diritti sulla successione al trono, ma lei compie un errore di rotta e precipita sulla Terra, arretrata e quindi non molto studiata su Vitar. S'imbatte in Jason, un terrestre che fa parte di un'associazione governativa per la ricerca di vita extraterrestre (COSS), innamorandosene al primo sguardo. Per evitare di essere tenuta sotto osservazione dal COSS, assume l'identità di una terrestre appena deceduta e si adegua in fretta alla sua nuova vita, ma deve cercare di ripartire in fretta altrimenti Drel will find it. While searching for a way to regain possession of his shuttle, Jason goes back alive, but does not recognize it reciprocates her feelings and she does not feel over leaving Earth ... because he might just be the solution!


E 'was great fun writing it, especially in parts where there is Michael, I noticed one of the most beloved characters. Perhaps it is ironic and irreverent? Anyway, I'm fond of him, but the hero is Jason, looking like the sun (a mix between an actor not well known and my husband) but a bit 'loser in love ... Feri has many qualities that I do not I, for example, is very brave, ma anche ligia al dovere. Prima di opporsi a Drel, deve trovare un modo lecito. Ecco, io sono abbastanza ligia al dovere, ma piuttosto pecorona… Il Primo Ministro è una figura affettiva molto importante per lei, e rappresenta la colonna portante del suo mondo. Drel e Fleni sono dei cattivi forse un po' standard, un po' stereotipati, ma mi sono venuti in mente così e in un certo senso mi piacevano.
Ho dovuto trovare tante soluzioni perché il sogno non mi ha dato tutti i motivi o i retroscena: il filo logico che legasse tutti i vari avvenimenti ho dovuto metterlo io. Sarebbe stato comodo altrimenti! E ho cambiato tantissime piccole cose: se rileggo la prima stesura fa un po' ridere, soprattutto nei dialoghi… Feri the beginning was much more silly!


You said in your imagination jason is a mix between an actor not well known and your husband ... what is the actor you mentioned that Jason is in your imagination?




There will be a sequel to this book?

Actually for me this was a romance in the sense that I did not know if I continued to write after finishing the novel. The truth is that I'm really into, and started churning out so many short stories. For the story of Jason and Feri, as many readers have asked me what happens next, I made to think that after all there are several doors open again, some possibilities that could be developed. And so, I have a vague, very vague idea of \u200b\u200bwhat might happen, so that page. 3. There are complications, and reveal some features of the past Vitar that are not so uplifting, maybe ... I have not yet clear where I'm going with this, I know that happens quite a slump, I wonder if I can resolve the situation! And 'that I have two more on a waiting list of at least two years: one is about half, and it is a fantasy, but after I had to write another novel with a non-fiction love story as a thread , which broods in 2007. And the characters still I did not forgive ...


You said you write in his spare time and you started during pregnancy. You always liked to write or has been a pleasant surprise? You would have expected to see your novel published?

When I was in school, the themes that I liked most were the ones to write "invents a story that begins," and inventing stories for my little brother and my cousin, who were protagonists of the animals. I've always had a great imagination, but I thought it was enough to start writing. I also had to acquire a certain maturity, to give logic to the events and watch, shall we say, from a point detached view, otherwise all the characters would speak with my voice! I was fifteen years old when I started my first novel, still stuck at the first chapter, I wrote and rewrote it for years. Then I gave up: o the story did not make sense, or I was not ready. Perhaps when I finish the other projects I mentioned, will be the case to see if you can save something!

There is a saying that in life we \u200b\u200bmust do three things: plant a tree, have a child and write a book. When Elena was born we planted a Japanese medlar, which last year gave the first (very sweet) fruits. So I missed the book. Seriously, I never dreamed of being able to publish it: already able to write such a long history (I know that real novels river are hundreds of pages long, but for me 168 were already a bunch!) that made any sense to me seemed an enormous task. I think if I had some friends encouraged writers (Chiara Guidarini and Antonia Romagnoli), known as stretch out the novel, there would never come. It took a certain constancy in refusing deals with aid, though a few were even attractive, and a large internet search of publishers who submit the manuscript, and a nice little 'patience and waiting ...



A public which is aimed your book? What is the message che lanci al lettore?

Principalmente a un pubblico femminile fra i 14 e i 40 anni, alle eterne sognatrici e alle romanticone. Non so di preciso che cosa mi sono prefissa come messaggio: qualcuno ci ha visto la critica alla società consumista, qualcun altro un chiaro messaggio ecologista… Io credo soltanto che l'amore arrivi quando e da dove meno te lo aspetti! E che possiamo prendere tutte le contromisure che vogliamo: se gli alieni esistono e arrivano fin qui, vuol dire che sono talmente avanti come tecnologia rispetto alla nostra che non riusciremo a fermarli in nessun modo (con buona pace del secondo tempo di Indipendence day…).


Qual è il tuo romanzo preferito? reflects more than you and that you keep forever in the heart?

There are several books that I particularly like: for science fiction, "Night" and Asimov's "The penultimate truth Dick. "Pride and Prejudice" in Austin and "Once Upon a Time" I think Christie's will always remain indelible in my heart! For the novel that reflects me, easy: I! To his misfortune Feri think with my head ...


What do you feel to recommend to the writers who would like to see their novel published? Do you think it's a good way to make themselves known to participate in the tournament literature?

I do not know if they are able to give advice righteous, but I can tell as I did: the experiences will be used to something, at least to share! First of all, I have been looking for someone to tell me if the story made sense, if there were things that just do not want to change or be reconciled. Then I searched on the internet straight to occur at a publishing house, and I arrived at the hut of Beginners: advice to all aspiring writers to visit, it's free and the people who run it are cute, helpful and very very smart! I followed all the directions, including that of sending the manuscript to review their readers: the result was to meet new friends (and Chiara Guidarini Walter Serra, also writers), and at the same time improve il romanzo, che si è anche arricchito di alcune pagine. Poi ho partecipato a qualche concorso, perché nel curriculum volevo mettere qualcosa di più attinente al settore letterario (fino a quel momento avrei potuto mettere solo "mamma, moglie, impiegata e cantante di pianobar", che sono tutte attività lodevoli ma non c'entrano niente coi libri…). I miei racconti sono andati bene, così il mio nome ha cominciato a circolare, e in questo modo ho ottenuto due risultati: avere qualche trascorso letterario da poter segnalare alle case editrici e fare pubblicità ai miei scritti, perché magari se piace il racconto qualcuno si incuriosisce e cerca il romanzo! La ricerca dell'editore è stata lunga, e ho dovuto avere pazienza, e probabilmente senza l'aiuto di Chiara e di Antonia Romagnoli (altra scrittrice che nel frattempo avevo conosciuto) mi sarei inchinata alle proposte con contributo. Però volevo essere pubblicata se valida, non se pagante. Ho aspettato a lungo, ma alla fine ce l'ho fatta!
Direi che bisogna leggere parecchio, ma non in fretta, studiando se possibile lo stile di chi ci piace di più; un corso di scrittura creativa, anche breve, non sarebbe male (ne ho seguito uno, gratuito, condotto da Stas Gawronsky!); è bene confrontarsi con i lettori partecipando a concorsi con i propri racconti (anche in questo caso ce ne sono tantissimi gratis, insomma si capisce che sono tirchia…) e avere tanta pazienza e soprattutto umiltà: mai pensare che la propria opera sia un capolavoro e se gli altri la pensano diversamente sono degli incompetenti! Mai pensare di essere arrivati: il bello è la strada e con chi la percorri! Non devo perdere di vista la componente ludica: è divertimento ideare una trama, è soddisfazione personale riuscire a scrivere la parola "Fine", è meraviglioso incontrare nuove amiche con cui condividere dubbi, sconfitte, vittorie! Io sono appena partita, vedremo se saprò migliorare, continuare o se questo rimarrà il mio primo e ultimo romanzo! Di sicuro non sono ancora una scrittrice, ma ce la sto mettendo tutta!

INCIPIT OF THE NOVEL:





INTERVIEW ON ' WRITER:

Hello Monica thank you so much for accepting my proposal.
Let's talk a little bit of your book MOONLIGHT RAINBOW why this title?


Nasce da un’esperienza fatta quando abitavo in pianura, in una sera di nebbia. In cortile, la luna sembrava a portata di mano. Era enorme e circondata da anelli colorati che sfumavano l’uno nell’altro. Dovevo essere ammattita, l’idea era più o meno quella. Poi la scoperta: l’arcobaleno di luna esisteva veramente! Così quando per Ethan e Liz tutto sta per cambiare, la luna li abbaglia con un segno davvero incredibile: Moonlight Rainbow, arcobaleno di luna.

E' il tuo primo romanzo oppure è già da tempo che coltivi questa passione?

La scrittura di narrativa nasce vent’anni fa esatti. E non bastano ancora; non tutto ciò che voleva esser scritto in Moonlight ha trovato la strada giusta per uscirmi dalle dita. Ma è come se la via sia stata aperta e le scene di In una gelida rosa, il seguito, stanno uscendo molto vivide, atterrano sulla pagina senza mediazione direttamente dal Maniero dei Rochester :-)

Hai in previsione un nuovo romanzo?

Più che in previsione è già in fase di stesura:-). È “In una gelida rosa” appunto. Sono trascorsi due anni dalla conclusione di Moonlight. Tutto comincia con il risuonare lugubre di una risata in una grotta, mentre a miglia e miglia di distanza Liz e Ethan aspettano con ansia l'arrivo di una misteriosa lettera... Uscirà il prossimo autunno.

Che good news! Your new novel would be the fourth? I am very happy ...
tell us a little bit how you got the idea to create a world populated by strange beings that is presented toward the end of your novel.


Yes the new novel saddle-Eyed Vampire Saga of Viola. Everything comes from the answer given by Meyer all'inconciliabilità worlds Edward and Bella. I said to myself "what is the lesson of this novel?". Mind the intent to address the problems of teenagers with food showing them to accept changes in the body of adulthood, is acceptable. But in the unfolding of real events, we have to be a deadly substance that plagiarizes Bella and she does not escape in short, eventually dying. I would have preferred an ending where he was to become human. Many stories are born this way: to give a different ending. Remember the true story of the German bank that illegally used the money to help the poor? Then he was put in jail. Here that is a story that I'd like to change the ending. I would start by saying that in prison, he meets the lady ....
So to create the transformation of humans into vampires I had to think of a supernatural reality complex greek mythology and Roman history of our central Italy. Here are appearing coal, quarry of marble nymphs. You know that these were great anarchists? Has emerged as our Apennines an army similar to that of the partisans who fought in the War against the fascists. No coincidence that the character was inspired Lenith a bit 'to the character of Leni Rifenstaal. The director who supervised the filming of the Berlin Olympics in the Third Reich and worked closely with Hitler.

As I also asked Margaret what is your creative process? while you write something in particular?

I drink coffee, roll up the legs on the seat of the chair across the table. But these details do not describe my external creative process. As I mentioned the idea of \u200b\u200ba story created to give final different stories we know. Now I wonder why I would like a different ending? Answering this question I have the lecture, the message of my new story. In the case of German bank would be: "the laws of the heart are more important than the laws of paper." Well after which I wonder who I want to tell my story. In fact, the reader enters the scene of the novel in its own right and accompanying me I always ask which scene would like to see such things and would like to know which annoyed him. You choose what is called a narrative genre. Here at this point I know that the strong scenes from the book in half then, must be growing, must entertain the reader ho scelto. È il mio lettore immaginario a ispirarmi a questo punto. Incrociando le scene forti inventate pensando al lettore con la morale della favola ottengo una trama sommaria... A questo punto subentra la tecnica progettuale e di scrittura e l’inventiva si concentra sulla messa a punto dei personaggi...

Sono molto curiosa devo dire di sapere come sei (siete) riuscita a pubblicare il tuo libro essendo io una aspirante scrittrice.... è stato difficile? come avete deciso la casa editrice adatta?

È stato semplicissimo, è bastato convincere me stessa che storie seguite da 50 mila visitatori avessero buone chances di interessare anche il pubblico della carta stampata. A quel punto mi sono chiesta se io I was the right publishing house and I said yes. :-) With other staff was a bit 'less simple. But the response of sales has put all silenced. Tat'è that will come out at least another four titles in the series.

And how did you decide to write a series of many hands?

I Gaiottina and we met on a site of Fan Fiction ... We used to write and share the same context. So even in our small we decided to paint a world of our own with characters that have told me a story and another Gaiottina. It is a fact books for four hands. There are two books in each hand!

What books do you like leggere, hai preferenze? Al momento quale libro stai leggendo?

Vado a periodi, come credo tutti. Circoscrivo la risposta alla narrativa. Ultimamente leggo thriller americani, Deaver , Connely, Gerritsen. In questo settore l’autore che più amo è Scerbanenco e Simenon che però americani non sono :-). Come mainstream uno dei libri migliori che ho letto ultimamente è Le imperfezioni di Valerio Varesi, ho amato molto L’antidoto alla malinconia di Meldini, mi è molto piaciuto e lo consiglio a tutte Uto di Andrea De Carlo, Utz di Chatwin, Il mago di Maugham. E ancora il Benni di Pieveloce Achille che però richiede un lettore non culturalmente suscettibile. E questo della suscettibilità è un topic that I'd like to talk if you like. But above all, and come to us, I went to the ball and sequels to Twilight, and Harry Potter sequels, The saga of Barthimeus, Georgette Hayer (but no one knows today that for the Honorary fellow of pure romance, I assure you an experience together with the vertices romance and style) ... In short, the Anglo-Saxon literary craft and I would say more, Britain is the top brand in my opinion. Let me give an example, did you ever read The Secret Garden of Burnet? If you have not ever run and procuratene a copy. Then there is the sector very attractive if done right, the spiritual fable. They range from Hesse to Coelho, in Marquez, in Buzzati, Borges., Saint-Exupery .. That's up to "God on a Harley," American and nice to "The Boy in the green thumbs" Druon of delicate, small, perfect.

What is the public face your book and what is the message that throws the reader?

I appeal to girls and women in general. If the Twilight series seems to encourage the girls to face the transition to adult life, accepting the changes of the body and overcoming the fear of the opposite sex. I say yes, at all of our wonderful heroes guys may seem unattainable to Ethan, and I say, accept that our femininity allows us to get to happiness, but in a second phase, we need to accept that the boy who loves us, stop being a vampire invincible, but for him who turns out to be: a guy with a thousand facets and the right to have their weaknesses.
short, I say that once you reach happiness, to keep it we must be able to accept that the boy who loves us back to being a normal "human" and that in fact we love him for that.

Well I have no further questions for you there's something you want to add before we say goodbye?

Yes exhortation, a call for all girls, when they read novels or essays and there is a word you do not understand, do not stop reading. To rely intuition, and move on. Find that doing so will read more and meet again the mysterious words in different contexts, they will reveal their meaning. Then the call not to create ghettos, between words, not to put in a basket of dirty words or do not use slang when writing for example. When you have to express, even in writing, the words may all be used. I remember that I and Gaiottina, author of The sixteenth night, because we made friends in the forum wrote, that bitch! He responded with a tirade, well rivendicai with you and with you now the good use of "bitch." Believe me it was an expression of true love :-). Just as there are difficult words, not vanno messe nel cestino delle parole “stronze” appunto, usate solo per mettere in imbarazzo chi legge. Sono parole magiche quelle perchè imparandole dànno potere a chi parla e chi scrive. Il potere di farsi rispettare, di farsi ascoltare. E questa è la lezione di Barbiana e di Don Milani.

L'intervista è conclusa. Ti ringrazio molto per la tua partecipazione e per la tua disponibilità... spero di poterti intervistare di nuovo se ce ne sarà occasione per il tuo prossimo romanzo.
Ti faccio anche i miei auguri per il tuo lavoro.
