Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m a psychotherapist. I specialize in family therapy. I was also a consultant to the magistracy for about twenty years. I dealt with the custody of minors between separated or divorced parents.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
• The invisible education.
• Family communication patterns leave more influence on children’s education than words and example.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Yes. It takes me one day or two to get a full picture of the story, but I don’t write from start to finish according to the time sequences of story. When I write, I write the part of the story that I feel at that moment. In the end all the pieces of the puzzle are in the right place and the story is completed.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Everyone and no one in particular.
What are you working on now?
This is the title of the new novel: “Love that does not die”.
It is the story of two very young lovers, a girl and her boyfriend, and of their two children. All four separate. They search for each other for fifty years and eventually find each other again.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
social media, awesome gang, amazon ads, spread words…..
Highlight the protagonist’s drama and his final victory.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
• Make the children dream with your stories.
• Write about the victory over pain for adults.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
My advice for myself: Don’t write the stories people expect. Write the stories you feel the desire to write.
What are you reading now?
I’m rereading: “The Hidden Persuaders” by Vance Packard (David McKay Company, Inc., New York, 1957)
What’s next for you as a writer?
I write for myself but if only one reader were happy to have read my books I would be happy too.
