Interview on Un buon libro non finisce mai

Hi, Chiara. Thank you for sending me the novel and sorry for the late. Talk to us about you and your life.
Hi, Ezio, and thank you for accepting to review my debut novel and for inviting me as your guest. Hi to all the followers! My name is Chiara, I'm 21 and I live in Pescara. I practiced riding at a competitive level for ten years and I'm a beautician specializing, but I'm currently full-time writer. I love reading, listening to music and watching movies, from which I get a lot of inspiration.

What means writing to you? A book?
Writing is my life. I write to be happy and if I couldn't do it ... it would be like to tear my soul and letting me live out for pure cruelty, empty, destroyed. It happened that the life that I was taking didn't have space for writing, and I had an emotional breakdown of biblical proportions. Even today, if by chance I can't get to the computer during the day, I'm irritable and I feel incomplete. A book is everything to me, helps me to keep going, gives me life experiences that will never happen to me. A book is my private dream, my world.

There are different literary kind: why did you choose the fantasy?
Because I was under the influence of Christopher Paolini and his Eragon. I was fascinated by these fantasy worlds, magic and the creatures that lived in those lands. Even as a child I was attracted from mythology, and I think that falling into the trap of fantasy has been inevitable for a dreamer like me.

Talk to us about you romance and about the series that we are waiting for.
It's the story of Morwen, Heir to the throne of the Underworld, generated by the flames of this Kingdom to dominate everything and everyone. She's destined to become the Goddess of the Gods, and to prevent this from happening, the Gods of Penthànweald (the imaginary world in which the story develops) instructed their Protègès (people with some of the power of their respective God) to find her and kill her. Still undecided whether to take the throne or not, Morwen is forced to hide in the Land of Men with Hurrichein, her Black Winged Horse and Lord of the Underworld. It's here that she meets the man who is destined to change her life forever: Prince Galadir.
I won't go into detail to not run into any spoilers without even realizing it, but I can say that in the next books will be a series of events that will bring closer that dark past from which Morwen is trying to escape. Those who have so far been in the dark will make their entry into the field and the battles will be bloody and bloody. The drama is like a shadow that follows the protagonists and nothing will ever be easy. The passion will always be accompanied by pain and when the fire seems to have turned off, then everything will falling apart... or maybe not. 

Morwen: where did you get the inspiration? How did you create her?
Morwen stems from my absolute love for the dark side of a character. I wanted a character different from the others, strong, cruel, that men looked with terror and lust at the same time. For her, I was inspired by a woman who I worship since I was a child, Milla Jovovich: I saw her for the first time in the film The Fifth Element and I was bowled over, much to choose her as the face for my Morwen. Looking at her, I can see my character come to life, because (it seems absurd, I know) for me Milla plays Morwen also off the big screen. I can't help it, for me she's her!

Pretending to be able to converse with one of the characters, who would you choose and what would you say to him?
This is easy! I'd choose Galadir. The arrogant Prince cutest and breathtaking of all Penthànweald. I would say that without him I wouldn't have ever made it, and neither Morwen. He is the pillar of the whole story. I would say that I'm sorry (he knows for what) but it was necessary to bring him into the scene (he knows who). I would thank him infinitely for all the times that made me die of laughter and was able to make smiling even Morwen. I would tell him not to complain too much, because 'the brat' (he knows who I mean) has chosen to remain where he is, so no more interruptions in the best moments. And finally, I would say to him that it's him, ever since the beginning it's always been him.

Tell us about the iter to write a novel.
Well, I can talk about my iter, because I think every writer has a different modus operandi. Mine is to take a notebook and writing: the series title, the title of the first book, list of characters and list of the faces that will inspire me, list of locations, plot and timeline. The latter is the most difficult to write, because you must already have in mind everything that will happen and bring it back on the paper, and then develop the various points. For speech is quite another matter: for example, I speak alone to hear how the words sound, and when there is someone at home thinks I'm crazy! And the fight scenes? I stand in the living room and I try to perform the choreography of the character, is really fun (this, however, I only do it when I'm alone in the house!). Or you can go off the cuff, as I'm doing with one of the novels I'm writing, not knowing where it will end. The choice is yours!

What about the next book?
The entire series of The Queen of the Underworld has been completed for a long time, as well as the series sequel. The sequel to this book will be titled Deadly Imprisonment. We are still working with the editor, but we hope to be able to publish it before Christmas. Are you ready for Deshre?
