CONTEST: fabulous awards 2019, fantasy winner

1 What is one wattpad goal? 

My Wattpad goal is to connect with as many readers as possible for feedbacks to improve my book.

2 how would you spend a rainy day? 

At home by the window writing with a glass of wine. I love rain and especially thunder.

3 Are you still surprised when you get a new vote, follow or comment? 

Very much so. It always makes my day, especially comments.

4 What's your favorite thing about Wattpad? 

That there're enough readers for me to reach out to and get a feel for my book on how it might be received before I query.

5 What is a song you enjoy? Who is the artist? 

I listen to many kinds of music. For Jazz I love "Moonlight becomes you" sung by Ella Fitzgerald. For operas I love "La Mamma Morta" sung by Maria Callas. For modern music, many songs by Ed Sheeran and James Arthur. For heavy metal, anything by Metallica.

6 If you could gain advice from your favorite author, who would you choose and what would you ask? 

Guy Gavriel Kay is my most favorite. I'd ask him how he learned to write beautiful prose, and which books or authors influenced him.

7 If you could spend the day with your favorite celeb, who would you choose and what would you do? 

I'd love to have a quiet dinner with wine discussing things with either Guy Gavriel Kay or Richard Morgan. I don't have a favorite celeb I need to meet IRL.

8 What's your favorite holiday and why?

Summer holiday in terms of school. My kids don't go to school for a long time and I get to spend so much time with them.

 9 What's a good piece of advice for a newcomer?

Promote, be patience, don't give up, your readers are out there somewhere but never forget, you write for you.

10 What's your favorite snack? 

Can I say cheese and wine? XD

11 What is your favorite movie? 

Hard question because I have favorites in every genre. But The English Patient, Ever After, Gladiator, and anything by James Cameron and Quentin Tarantino always work for me.

Obsidian is a book I write for humanity. It addresses the problem of prejudice, war, slavery, racism, and everything in between, proving that none of them has a place in this world. It is a Game of Throne kind of realistic fantasy with a huge cast of all shapes and sizes inspired by nomads of Mongolia and bedouins, rich with culture to tickle your senses. Everyone is a protagonist and at the same time an antagonist in this story.

"There are no monsters bigger than the worst of men," and "Some things are deadly when broken," are the slogan of Obsidian and the latter is where the title comes from. It is a story of men and women who have been broken into deadly weapons because they choose to never back down.
