My ReadRantRock&Roll Interview!

For those of you who didn't notice or get to read it yet, I gave an interview for ReadRantRock&Roll blog about books, music, movies and more...!

After reading and reviewing my novella A World Without Color, Mischenko, the author of ReadRantRock&Roll, asked me if I would like to do a Q&A for her blog, which I happily accepted.

In about herself and her blog Mischenko explains: I created this blog to talk about the books that I read, music that I listen to, health matters, movies, and other things that interest me. I love doing Q&A's and learning about others. I use the word “rant” for anything that I want to talk about, especially things that I feel passionate about.

I am privileged and happy that she feels passionate enough about my book to write a review about it and ask me 21 questions for her blog!

She starts the Q&A with me with the introduction: A few weeks ago I came across a book on Goodreads titled A World Without Color: A True Story Of the Last Three Days With My Cat and knew right away I needed to read it. It’s a memoir written by Bernard Jan pertaining to the loss of his beloved cat Marcel. Bernard was very kind to offer some of his time to discuss his writing and some other questions I had about the book. You can see my Q&A with Bernard Jan below.

Please click here to visit ReadRantRock&Roll blog for my answers to Mischenko's questions.

As a teaser, I'm sharing with Mischenko's permission my answer to her first question!

Q: When did you first start writing and when did you first think about becoming an author?

A: My first writing steps started already in the elementary school when, at a very early age, I flirted with the Croatian and English language, books, school assignments in literature and writing when I did rather well.

My first book, though, I wrote at the beginning of war in Croatia in 1991, amidst the air alerts and illusory attempts when I wanted to believe and think life is normal, that everything is all right with the world. That was the time when madness controlled our lives and we all walked on the thin line between life and death. So the war was just a trigger that took my writing to a higher level and its full potential. I wrote my first two novels as the testament of the time that has influenced so much of everyone’s life here.

Don't forget to read her review of A World Without Color and look for my book on Amazon!

Happy reading and THANK YOU, Mischenko!

Artist Review and Interview

It is interesting what you would do for something that matters to you, whether it is a person, a cause, something you created or are passionate about.

I still cannot believe Carlos persuaded me into giving him an interview for his Art & Review Vlogs and that I can now listen to myself on his YouTube channel. For those of you who want to hear what we chatted about, here is the link. No laughing please!

Carlos didn't stop there, he also reviewed me as an artist. Look me up on his Carlos Mota Veiga blog under Artist Review #1. Yes, I had the honor and privilege to be the first artist he reviewed there! Thanks, Carlos!

It's been rather long since my last post on my blog Muse on January 17, 2018. I didn't get lazy or anything; I was busy handling more things and working on my new project, my next book.

My faithful subscribers already know what it is about so if you wish to join forces with them and become one of my early readers and new friends, sign up to my mailing list too. I will have new announcements coming up soon and you don't want to miss them!

Remember: subscribing costs you nothing, you have no obligation; you don't even have to read my scribbling unless you are interested to learn about new good book recommendations, become a member of my early readers or the launch team, benefit from giveaways or other valuable content. Not that bad, right?

Thank you!
