Emma G. Fraser — Interview
- CURRENT LITERATURE: Your last published novel is titled I will never be yours. What do you tell us in it and why will it be interesting?
EMMA G. FRASER: In this novel we go to the 15th century, to the Scottish Highlands to watch the forced marriage between the protagonists that, despite the circumstances, they attract each other and desire catches them and takes them on various adventures.
In it they deal various themes that even today continue to occur in some parts of the world, such as arranged and forced marriage. But in this novel, despite these extreme circumstances, what interests the reader most and most draws their attention is how the protagonists face this situation. They can come out of it successfully by finding love in that couple they have been forced to join.
- AL: Can you remember any of your first readings? And the first thing you wrote?
EGF: One of my first readings that introduced me to reading was The Prince of Mist, by Carlos Ruiz Zafón, and I found it so fascinating that even today I have reread it on several occasions. The first thing I wrote was a time travel trilogy, also set in the Highlands and which I published under my own name, not my pseudonym.
- AL: A leading author? You can choose more than one and from all periods.
EGF: Some romantic novel authors come to mind, who were the ones who finally encouraged me to create worlds and stories, such as Nora roberts, Johanna lindsey, Julie Garwood o Lisa kleypas. They are authors with whom I was introduced to reading historical romantic novels and I have them in a privileged place in my library.
Characters and customs
- AL: What character would you have liked to meet and create?
EGF: The characters I would have liked to create I already have them between the pages of my novels because I believe that, in some way, they are part of my interior. And even if they are rude, strong or warrior characters, I would go with them headlong to have a drink and talk about the sword art, which is a topic that I am passionate about.
- AL: Any special habits or habits when it comes to writing or reading?
EGF: I have to put ambient music while I write, but not just any music, but epic, which is usually heard in movie trailers. That way, I feel like I'm getting more into the story.
- AL: And your preferred place and time to do it?
EGF: It has to be in a Comfortable place and where there is silence abroad. The moments are not so important because I usually write in the morning. morning, although I don't mind doing it until 1 in the morning, because sometimes I have done it.
- AL: What other genres do you like?
EGF: The police, The boobs and the mystery.
Current outlook
- AL: What are you reading now? And writing?
EGF: Right now I'm reading the saga Bound, Which is romance. A friend recommended it to me and the truth is that she surprised me. It is the first book I have read in this genre and it surely won't be the last. Right now I am preparing the next novel, which continues a little with the plot of the saga Indomitable. It will be the story of another of the secondary characters that I really liked, although I'm taking it easy.
- AL: How do you think the publishing scene is?
EGF: I think that independent authors have made their way despite the difficulties of doing it alone, and the fame they have been gaining has made many publishers feel attracted to them. That seems perfect to me because there are many very good ones which, unfortunately, do not have as much reach as they do not have the support of a publisher.
- AL: How are you handling the current moment we live in?
EGF: The truth is that lately I have been so focused on my novels that I have missed a lot of news regarding the publishing world. But what I am seeing with many authors, who are extremely lucky to be able to see their characters on the big or small screenI find it incredible and impressive.
I think that the current moment at the editorial level has opened a huge door thanks to cinema and readers' interest in seeing how the books they love so much come to life thanks to the actors. This closes an invisible gap that seemed to exist before regarding reading and cinema.
