IN THE AUTHOR’S WORDS

Author interview

Interview submitted .

What inspired you to start writing?

Maybe life itself. Every person has a story to tell, feelings to share; and ultimately, some wise thoughts to reflect on. Communicating with others is actually quite enriching in various ways.

Who are some of your favorite authors and books?

The adventures of Sherlock Holmes might serve as a prime example of a human search for truth in general. All his quests, analytic work, daily interactions with different people seem so ordinary and yet exceptional in a way, especially with the final conclusions he arrives at. That is the scientific side of the stories. Dr. Watson, on the other hand, looks more down-to-earth and emotional. Together, they make a great team and achieve excellent results. The topics of friendship, family and relationships are also present throughout the author's books. Apparently, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was a very talented writer.

What would you like to tell readers who have just discovered your books, but haven't read one yet?

Let me quote a bit from the synopsis of my latest book, The Proximity of Stars, where the pen name of Benedict Stuart is used:
'Researcher Brian Sunderland has been looking for answers to these [important] questions for his entire life. As he journeys through years, he comes of age, surrenders to true love, stands up for his rights, helps others and finally, leaves his mark on this world.'

Who is the favorite character you created, and how did they come into being?

As mentioned earlier, Brian Sunderland could be a relatable character. He seems like a bit of a dreamer at first. However, as his life goes on and he 'grows up', his personality appears to be very dynamic, sufficiently emotional and always ready to learn, while trying to help others.

What are your future plans as a writer?

Sharing and exchanging our valuable experiences and thoughts will always be valid for authors and readers alike. Learning something new and/or beneficial; and then putting it into practice is an inherent human trait, undoubtedly.
