Inspiration
comes from watching way too much Monty Python. The abstract and the absurd way
of looking at normal life, not only offers humor, but questions many problems
in society in a light-hearted manner. If we can laugh at ourselves, if we can
laugh at life, problems do not seem quite so difficult to tackle. In
fact, problems are not as complicated as they seem; everything is very simple.
If you can laugh at it, write about it and read about it, most likely one would
think about it.

A
thought-provoking take on the vampire mythos that makes you consider how the
natural-spiritual and scientific worlds might intersect.
For six
hundred years, vampire Katerina Vaduva roamed Europe witnessing
civilization’s altering events—knights on crusade, the suffering of plague,
enlightening of the humanist movement, among others. Throughout her years and
separated from the normal human condition, she gained knowledge, riches and
personal power the greatest kings and mightiest leaders failed to acquire.
During the
latter half of the 19th century, while married to a Prussian Colonel, Katerina
meets and falls passionately in love with a young ambitious scientist who
desires to understand her condition and the life she had lived. He wants more
than to possess her body, but her heart, her mind and her soul. It is for him,
she would risk everything. True desire is not just a physical matter; it is in
the mind and the heart of your lover.
For More Information
Thank you for this interview! I’d like to know more about you as a person
first. What do you do when you’re not
writing?
Jennifer - I do a lot of daydreaming. Yes, I am a big
daydreamer. I also like working out at the gym and meditating. I find
meditating helps reboot the creative brain and helps when I am feeling blocked.
When did you start writing?
I started my first book when I was twelve. I watched the
movie “Bridge on the River Kwai.” I remember being so inspired by the drama, I
started writing. Of course I never finished, but it was the beginning. I
completed my first novel at age 24. It was terrible. When I moved to New
York City, I studied and screenwriting and learned how
to craft stories and develop characters.
As a published author, what would you say was the most
pivotal point of your writing life?
I think it was one review. A reviewer compared my writing to
Kurt Vonnegut. I had to laugh. I never read Kurt Vonnegut, so being compared to
him I thought was funny.
If you could go anywhere in the world to start writing
your next book, where would that be and why?
Europe. Europe
is so mystical and magical. Desperate Moon takes place in Prague
and Prague is one of the most
beautiful cities in the world. I was so inspired when I visited there a few
years ago.
If you had 4 hours of extra time today, what would you
do?
Relax. Unwind.
Where would you like to set a story that you haven’t done
yet?
My stories are set a various places around the world, but I
would have to say China.
I traveled in China
and it has a marvelous history and culture.
Back to your present book, Desperate Moon, how did you
publish it?
I am an independent publisher. I had two beta readers read
and reread and afterward I worked with my editor. Normally, I work with a
freelancer to do the book covers, but since I have a fine arts background I did
the cover for Desperate Moon. I found
the perfect image that suited the main character.
In writing your book, did you travel anywhere for
research?
Yes. I traveled to Berlin
and Prague, as well as Budapest
which are locations in the book before the book was written. I used my travels
as inspiration.
Why was writing Desperate Moon so important to you?
The story’s main character is a female vampire who survived Europe
for 600 years and she has experienced many events - knights on crusade, the
plague, witch trials and the St. Bartholomew Day Massacre. The irony as a
vampire, she would be a considered a dangerous monster, yet witnessed all the
horrors mankind bought on themselves. I
find it an interesting perspective. Plus, it is history in the eyes of a woman
and her experiences.
Where do you get your best ideas and why do you think
that is?
Meditation. Meditation help clear the mind and when the mind
is free and clear of our daily stresses creative ideas start to flow.
Any final words?
I hope readers enjoy the book.
