Author Interview
1:How
different is INNOVERA YAKOV: THE JOURNEY OF A THOUSAND EYES from other
books out there? Innovera
Yakov: The Journey of A Thousand Eyes is the first installment in an
action-packed fantasy drama where characters with powers of healing and
destruction live, love, compete and disappear without a trace while they are
being prepared for ‘The Journey’. Innovera Yakov is a faraway planet in a
faraway universe: under five moons and two brilliant suns that never set. The
wise words of Odors Apeno guide from within the Learning Dome; the Circle of
Knowing decides their fate; the forbidden forests of the Dimmer Zone swallow
trespassers. And at the very edges of Innovera Yakov there is always the
terrifying watery darkness of Verheer. We meet Ayana, the questioning outsider,
forever searching for herself and the truth of their world; Vinton, her
protector. Gamma and Blu Tara are beautiful, fiery twins who can kill with one look.
Innovera Yakov: the journey of a thousand eyes is fantasy fiction and more: it
is also a story that explores the desire for acceptance, the need to belong,
the importance of self-belief, the danger of secrets, the pain of betrayal and
the power of love.
2: What was
your favorite chapter or part to write?
Visualising
the world my characters live in. I love mind-mapping that world and thinking of
the possible dangers of falling in love in that world, including the terrible
jealousies and rivalries that threaten to destroy the ones involved.
3:
Any pet peeves?
Grass!
I really have a phobia of standing on grass and I hate having to explain this
to people. Going to a park is an unleasant experience, because while other
people simply run across it, I tend to walk the long way around. If anyone
notices, the questions begin: What are you doing? Why would you do that? Then
I would have to explain my dislike of grass and I'm both annoyed and
embarrassed when doing that. This is where the pet peeve comes in.
4:
Why should we read your book?
Apart
from being an action-packed, romantic adventure, Innovera Yakov: The Journey
of A Thousand Eyes is a story about the power of love and loyalty. It is
about the desire to become stronger, better beings, and the need to accept
yourself and to embrace your strengths and talents in order to make the most of
the gift of life. It is what most readers talk to me about when they've
finished reading it. Some of them have even thanked me.
I
think there is something for everyone in the novel: adventure, romance and
valuable life-lessons.
5: What is next for your writing?
I am working on the second book in the series and I
already have ideas for the third and fourth novel.
6: If you are
going to be born again, what would you like to be?
I
would like to be a bird. It would be wonderful to be able to fly and be
anywhere you want to without restriction. Next to life, freedom must be the
greatest gift. It’s a wonderful privilege.
