Welcome to a world filled with magic...and smog. But mostly smog. That is a big problem and it won't be left by the wayside if the witches have anything to say about it. A magical world it may be, but with some real-life problems that are all too familiar to anyone who inhabits planet Earth.
INTERVIEW
Tell us about your book? My book is a fictional story that takes
place in a land far away where a group of witches draws their power from the
Green. Only the humans are destroying the Green and don’t seem to care! The
witches do everything to try and save the Green, but they then realize, they
need a totally new and different strategy because what they’ve been doing
hasn’t worked.
This
book is very reflective of when I wrote it, which was in 2020. It talks about
what was happening then politically, and the chaos that was in 2020.
I
was giong for a fun and humorous approach to some very real topics.
What is the PRIMARY benefit, above all
others, that your potential reader will gain from reading this book?
I
was going for a fun way to spread the message about environmentalism. I think
adults will find that this is a humorous book that also talks to their kids
about what’s going on in the world.
If you had to compare this book to any other book out there, which book would it be?
I
was very inspired by Harry Potter and the fantasy-filled world they live in
that also has a lot of our own reality in it. At the same time, there are
definitely some dystopian vibes that remind me of the Hunger Games. The book is
not like those stories at all, but I loved those series and I think there is a
similar feeling at some points.
Hundreds of thousands of books come out
every year. Why should someone buy THIS book?
There
is one thing I’m sure of. This book is creative. Love it, hate it, it’s
creative. It paints, what I think, is a very good picture of 2020 when the
world fell apart. At the time, I was watching a lot of entertaining news that
poked a lot of fun at Trump, so if you are into that, this book has it.
Who is your target audience?
I
wanted this to be a story that inspired youth. I would say its targe audience
are young adults. I wasn’t specifically aiming at girls, but since I am female,
I can more easily write from that point of view. I do think it applies to
people who are privileged enough to care about the environment, meaning in
areas where you have a choice to do something. And I do think it’s for people
who already have some interest in the environment, otherwise, this book will
annoy the hell out of you.
Did your environment or upbringing play
a major role in your writing and did you use it to your advantage?
The
environment at the time played a major role in this book. I also started
thinking about this while working in a speech therapy clinic (I’m a speech
therapist) where there was so much garbage, I wanted to scream at every person
coming in with a plastic cup!
Tell us your most rewarding experience
since publishing your work?
I think the most rewarding part is
completing the story and actually liking it. I have written a ton of garbage.
This is the first time that I wrote something so long and was like “This is
great!”.
How would you describe your writing
style?
Heavy
on the humor and refrences to pop culture.
Are your characters pure fiction, or did
you draw from people you know?
Some
are definitely pure fiction. But the leader of the humans, while appearing to
be pure fiction because he’s a little ridiculous, is 100% real.
Are you more of a character artist or a
plot-driven writer?
Definitely
plot-driven. The story comes to me and then I see who is in it.
What do you hope to accomplish with your
book other than selling it?
I
would love to make a change. Though I realize that it’s really hard to get
people to give a crap about the environment. Which is why the story was born,
but I know that if even Leonardo DiCaprio can’t do it, who can?
About the Author
This is exciting. And…slightly awkward. You don’t know me. I don’t know you. We’re here, staring at each other. What does one say in this situation?
Unless you do know me, in which case, “Hey girl! Let’s twerk later, shall we?”
We’ll start with “hi”! My name is Asya. I’m a writer. Isn’t that sexy? I like to write. I like to talk. I love to spread information. But only if it’s controversial. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be fun.
You can find me on Substack and I would like to dedicate it to diet culture. You f*cking c*nt. You, diet culture, who took away so much of my life and takes away so many others. I’m not the first to write on this topic, but damn it if I don’t share my piece!
The word needs to be spread, and by golly, I’m here to spread it.
Interested in learning more? Cool. I plan on sending newsletters maybe once or twice a week, to be decided.
