Interview with Ava Zavora, author of Dear Adam
• Describe Dear
Adam in five words.
Dramatic. Romantic. Sexy. Intelligent. Unexpected.
• What inspired
the idea behind the book?
Sometime
last year, I saw the movie Catfish.
Then got sucked into the TV show, which is so addictive. And then the whole
Manti Te'o cauldron of strangeness. Online relationships seemed to explode onto
the mainstream in a space of a few months. The idea of falling in love
with someone you've never met just fascinated me.
• What was the
most challenging part of writing it?
Editing
is the bane of my existence! But a very important step in the process so
I try to do multiple rounds until I am to my limit. Then do a few more
just to be safe.
• Adam and Eden
have a passionate love affair, though they have yet to meet. Describe
the romance either before or after they do meet.
Even
before they meet, Adam and Eden have a very intense chemistry intellectually,
emotionally, and even physically. They do everything they can to have the
strongest connection possible until they feel closer to each other than with
anyone else they've ever met. Do they meet? I will not say ...
• How are
you like (or not like) your characters?
Like
Adam and Eden, I am a passionate bibliophile. If ever I was to fall in love
with a stranger online, striking up a conversation with me about books would be
a straight path to my heart!
• Besides
writing, what other artistic talents do you have?
Not
sure if it's a talent, but I dabble in photography/visual arts. One night
I was tired of editing my manuscript (see question #3, above) so to take a
break I decided to make covers for fake books mentioned in Dear Adam. That was the creative jolt I needed and went back to
editing refreshed.
• You're
stressed. What's the first thing you do or reach for?
CHOCOLATE!
(Another thing I have in common with Eden)
• Are you
currently writing another book?
I
am in the middle of an epic historical fantasy, which is in terrible need of
editing. Woe is me.
• Your automatic
buy-list authors:
Kate
Morton, Carlos Ruiz Zafon, Laini Taylor, Elizabeth Kostova, Dan Brown (but only
because my mom wants to read him ... shhh ... )
• What advice
would you give aspiring authors?
"Butt
in chair" is the best advice I've ever heard. Also related is
"Published writers are writers who have learned how to finish."
Author bio:
In her childhood, Ava
Zavora used to ride water buffaloes and
wade in swamps. When she discovered books, she would go adventuring with Anne
of Green Gables, the Pevensies, Bilbo Baggins, or Alanna of Trebond. She incurred
her mother's displeasure for reading too many romance novels, so she learned to
hide them and read underneath covers with a flashlight late at night. Now, she
travels and write dark fairy tales and romantic novels about adventurous women.
And she still stays up too late reading, even though she doesn't get in trouble
for it anymore.(
