Interview With Author Clara Stone
Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Born in the heart of Croatia in 1990, I`ve always felt a deep connection to the rhythmof life in this beautiful country. My pen name in Clara Stone. From the young age, I found solace and adventure within the pages of books. Stories ignited my imagination, transporting me to distant lands and introducing me to extraordinary characters. As I grew older, this passion for storytelling only deepeened. For years, the idea of crafting my own worlds and characters remained a distant dream. But the pull to share my stories grew stronger with each passing year. Finally, I summoned the courage to embark on this exciting journey. The result is “Beyond the Veil”, a testament to my lifelong love affair with the written word, and this first book is just the beginning of my story.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My book is called “Beyond the Veil”.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I`ve got a peculiar little writing habit that`s stuck with me since the fifth grade. It`s a simple thing, really: I adorn every “i” and “j” with a tiny, perfect circle. It`s like giving each letter a little crown, you know? I`ve tried to break the habit countless times, but it`s become as much a part of me as my love for storytelling. People often give me odd looks when they see my notes, (especially my boss), but I think it adds a touch of whimsy.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
There was one particular book that ignited my lifelong passion for reading. I was perhaps six when my mother first took me to the city library. Among the countless books, one tood out: a children`s story with a captivating cover featuring a young witch. The details of the book have faded with time, also the author and the plot. But, the feeling of pure joy I experienced while reading it remains vivid.
What are you working on now?
I can`t tell you that. You will have to wait for the new book to come out like everyone else.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
“There is nothing you can`t do if you want to.”
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?
Books, on a deserted island? As a Croatian, practicality is ingrained in me. If I were to find myself stranded on a deserted island, my survival instincts would kick in immediately. While I cherish the world of literature, a good, sturdy book can also serve as excellent kindling. Give me a sharp knife, a trusty axe, and the knowledge passed down throught generations in my family, and I`ll transform that island into a sustainable home. Sure, I might miss the comfort of a good story, but the thrill of survival is a different kind of adventure altogether.
