Meet The Authors Showcase Edition #2 (2 of 3)

A showcase with @ElmaSamardzic, author I am behind the mirror

1 what inspired the idea of your story?

Story was originally a song about wife who gets trapped behind the mirror while everyone thinks she is dead. She feels betrayed as she observes her husband continued his life with another woman.

2 what is something you struggled constructing with your story?

For a beginning I was reluctant in which city should story be set. And there was a main character physique.

3 what did you enjoy writing most of your story?

 Alot of stuff its difficult to chose. I think I liked the most when my main protagonist gets transferred to the house in other dimension , and that one point specific , when she can't determine what is real , and just kind of the time concept seams to escape her.

4 what's the overall response of your story from your readers?

It a mixed feeling , depends on the part of chapter they are at. Sometimes some situations seem to frighten them , some on the other hand sadness them . Depends really on which book we are referring to horror one provokes sadness and sense of terror so I did my job right as far as that is of concern.

5 is your story a stand alone novel or a piece of a series ?

I plan I future to have one more sequel

6 what would you like your readers to take away from your story?

Well, most of all that there are that in this world there is more that meets the eye. I mean to some a mirror is just a mirror . I think we as humans observe thing in a more plane way " What you see is what you get " . I wish we all change the way we view the world. There is a lack of Grey area the way we see things we chose to see , and lot of them just seems to escape us for better or for worse.

7 what advice would you provide to fellow writers, when it comes to focusing on their own story?

Not repeating something that is already said. Not moving so fast from one situation to another. And anytime you feel stuck, look at your work there must be something that can set roots and kind of grow from another situation. Action=reaction.

8 does your main character share any similarities to yourself?

She is aquafobic 

9 what is something about your story you believe would draw in new readers?

Very plain Jane 30 year old just buried her ant who loved her so much. Is she a plane Jane really. There is the allure i think of something as mirror serving as a door to other dimension .
