1. What inspired you to write this book?
I dreamed of a world where I would live in a
school with great world celebrities. I wanted a place where science and magic
could combine, where my imagination would be free to develop, and of course the
biggest inspiration for my book was an enduring friendship that overcomes each
other. the tests of time.
2. What exactly is it about and who is it written for?
To be precise, the book is about the journey of
a boy searching for his parents, through which he can find companions to help
him. This story was written for me as a child who is always looking for
mysterious new things. And it is also for readers who want to find and discover
interesting things.
3. What do you hope readers will get out of reading your book?
I hope readers will find a lot of useful
knowledge inside a fantasy story. My book is about music, classical composers;
Scientific luminaries, they taught at an academy called Oldbenfors. Not only
that, readers can discover the brave strength of the main character when they
experience the battle with magic and witches. I believe readers will find
endless inspiration when reading this book.
4. How did you decide on your book’s title and cover design?
My book is a series of 7 volumes. Each booklet
is associated with a world-famous wonder or event. I want to explore these
details. And my book cover was designed based on these details. In the first
book, I chose the main character to be the boy holding the shining Ankh key
standing on the ancient stone field of Stonehenge. I really like this symbolic
image.
5. What advice or words of wisdom do you have for fellow writers – other than
run!?
I think my biggest advice for fellow writers is
to write, edit, write, then edit. And the important thing is to constantly
pursue your dream of publishing until it comes true.
6. What trends in the book world do you see — and where do you think the book
publishing industry is heading?
I see that the biggest and strongest trend in
the book world is still the fantasy children’s genre. In today’s developed
Internet world, all electronic books will be the greatest convenience for
readers. I think the publishing industry is targeting topics for young people
because this is the largest and most potential customer base.
7. Were there experiences in your personal life or career that came in handy
when writing this book?
I am a dreamer and always wish to explore the
world. As a child, I always wished to set foot in new lands and my restless
imagination was the inspiration for me to write this book.
8. How would you describe your writing style? Which writers or books is your
writing similar to?
My writing style is like a fairy tale in modern
times, between ancient things appearing in the middle of reality, making my
book special among books of the same genre.
My book was particularly influenced by
J.K.Rowling’s Harry Potter.
9. What challenges did you overcome in the writing of this book?
I am Vietnamese and it was very difficult for
me to bring my book to the world’s readers. I have been trying to find a
translator for my book. I had to work very hard to find collaborative editors
until I received an invitation from Olympia Publishers in London.
10. If people can buy or read one book this week or month, why should it be
yours?
It’s been a long time since there’s been a new
Harry Potter. I think my book can become a fantasy story that opens a new era
for old Harry Potter fans.
My story inherits the greatness of The Lord of
the Rings and Narnia and it will bring a new breath of surprise to readers.
