Interview With Author Angelika Regossi
Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am a journalist, working for more than two decades in East Europe. I wrote and published five books.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The last published book is language study book: “In English as in Russian. 1000 words with explanations”.
This book offers easy and fast language learning: for English speaking people – Russian language and visa versa.
The is a part of three-book series “My Thousand Words”.
Other two books are:
Magyarul mint oroszul. 1000 szó magyarázattal (In Hungarian as in Russian)
In het Nederlans als in het Russisch. 1000 woorden met uitleg (In Dutch as in Russian)
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
According to me – No, I don’t. But you better ask my husband maybe he thinks differently.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I have many authors and books in my mind, which have shaped my attitude and inspired me at different stages of my life. For example I like to read Aleksandr Kuprin, also Theodore Dreiser. But know I am reading and inspired by book about Elon Musk by Walter Isaacson.
What are you working on now?
I am currently working on two projects from the Cooking and Politics series. The first book, “Russian Colonial Food: Journey through the Dissolved Communist Empire,” has already been published.
It is a series of historical stories from East Europe followed by authentic recipes. I am creating this series for Young Adults and Adults, to show the diversity and beauty of culturally and historically rich East Europe. And the recipes I included to preserve the traditional cooking as a part of the culture in the modern world of globalization and fast food.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I think meeting with readers is the best promotion. Either online or personally, when they can ask the questions directly, and I can answer. We can talk about the book, read the samples, and tell the story behind the book writing: how I was inspired, why I wrote it, and what they can take from the book. Why the book is interesting to read.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Keep working. Doesn’t matter what.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Be strong, and rely only on yourself. Never quit.
What are you reading now?
I read in the evenings, to relax about Elon Musk, as I already mentioned earlier. But I also read a lot about history, diaries, old newspapers, and other materials, related to my new two projects, on which I am working now.
What’s next for you as a writer?
To finish several books, which I keep in mind: two of which I am working on now, which I said before, and others are still on the way. I hope my books will be read and liked by people I hope they can learn something new from my books and get inspired and motivated.
If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
I think I shall need books about survival and know-how. One book probably would be for the soul, something philosophical: about the sense of life or something like that.
