1. What type of books do
you write? Fantasy style is so important to me, and
I like to write my story in this style. I think fantasy is a major influence on
the people. In fantasy, you never have to point out or criticize anybody or any
certain culture. I never like to point at a certain culture because all
cultures have some strong points and some weak. Therefore, through
fantasy, we can challenge cultures to reach peace.
2. What is your newest
book about? "My Grandparents' Last War" is
a book about woolly creatures who like to eat everything that they see on the
earth. The human have always fought for his(her) willing. The human could
always be successful in wars because the human use your mind, but another
creature do not have important thing. The human was possible that she(he)
fail against other creature -Like a lion- if they do not have thinking,
therefore we are not a best fighter! we are not king of the world! because the
lions can become king of us if we have not thinking in our mind, like other
animals! Every day we create so many opinions, books, films, like this: I am
fighter or I would like to fight for my willing or I am warrior who want to
fight for beloved person or things or...But I am not a warrior or fighter, I am
a creature called human who like to live on the earth! "My Grandparents'
Last War" is a book about it, but in new style and with illustration. The
book is free on smashwords (https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/302822)
3. What inspired you to
write it? Militancy and egoism of human.
Unfortunately, the egoism is so powerful in the third world. At least, a
modern human have many things which he(she) can take pride in offering the best
service in the world. But, the human of third world do not has anything; but,
he(she) glory his(her) last or her(his) culture. An old culture which do not
has anything except egoism and militancy. The modern culture has egoism and
military, too; but, a powerful critique is in the modern culture that this
powerful critique continually criticize the egoism and militancy in its own
inside. But, The culture of third world say that you can criticize me, but only
that critique confirm me; this is helpful, constructive critique. Except this,
you are a traitor.
4. What is the writing
process like for you? Like a dream, I like to sleep and
see my dreams. Dream is so important and enjoyable to me. I could fly in my
dreams. One, I flew in the sky of my city, I wanted to fly beyond my city up
into the mountain, but I feared from getting lost my way to my home, and came
back to my home, but next time... I have so many experience like this dream in
my dreams. Writing a book is a process like my dreams; now, I think that I see
a dream and speak with you. In fact, the real life is so hard and painful to
me, and my real life is not never like my dreams, but my books try to show my
real, painful life and my dreams.
5. What did you do before
you became an author? A peddler, A worker, dyer,
Journalist and now an author who cannot speak and write about the painful life
and sweet dreams in his country. I am from the Middle East, the world of
to be or not to be, where the third way -- at least, for now -- is not for
mankind.
6. How does it feel to be
a published author? The feel is so sweet, like all of
dreams in the world.
7. Any advice for
struggling writers? Only that you read and read and
write. I hope that books make you think, while you enjoy it.
8. Where do you see book
publishing heading? I think that E-book is the biggest
discovery in the 21th century. I cannot understand why we have still cut the
trees for book and magazine or print works. That is so painful: for creating a
better world with books, we have still destroy trees.
