Is about “Of 7-timings and more… between roses and scarlet”, a compendium of seven romantic-themed mini-novels that came out in May and will be presented this year at the Book Fair.
When was the idea of writing this book born?
“It was born after writing the ‘Dzarkon’ tetralogy, exploring my dream side, which sometimes turns out to be quite romantic”.
How difficult was it to write this novel compared to your previous book?
“Perhaps what really cost me was giving a touch of reality to what my brain invents to give it feasibility.”
What themes are included apart from love?
“Everyday life, fantasy, spirituality, values, some horror and science fiction and a lot of humor. Those genres are in my DNA. In life we come across different types of people who participate and shape our lives. That’s what I’m trying to express.”

“I think a couple of months. When I write the ideas take some time to take shape. Then comes the polishing period. That’s what really takes.”
What do you like more, writing a novel or a storybook?

Which of all the chapters do you think will draw the most attention from your readers?
“Desire. I think many will be able to identify with the main character.”
