IL MONDO DI JADE

    Foto cover by Hoffmann & Hoffmann "In quel pomeriggio, le campane di una chiesa di un piccolo borgo svizzero scandivano i momenti in cui, come padre, vittima di alienazione genitoriale, assaporavo con leggerezza i dubbi e le speranze di mia figlia adolescente. Jade ne era cosciente, sapeva quanto fosse importante per me la sua presenza, in quei momenti, e i temi sui quali ci intrattenevamo, che non erano solamente di pura didattica. - Se la formula di Einstein non é falsa perché non contiene allora la variabile significato? - Vedi, quando questa formula é stata postulata, non si conoscevano ancora gli effetti della fisica quantistica, di fatto quest’equazione é un prodotto della relatività generale. - Perché l’equazione di Einstein, da sola, non dovrebbe essere sufficiente per innescare il processo energia-materia, senza dover includere altre variabili?" Un intreccio fra scienza e filosofia, passando dalle mistiche celtiche fino alle v...

Intervista NEL VUOTO a Susanna Casubolo

By F. Guzzardi Con Susanna   ci siamo conosciuti   tre anni fa, per mezzo di questi strumenti meravigliosi che sono i socials media. Abbiamo trovato subito un punto d'incontro fra le nostre "follie" e le abbiamo coltivate fino a che la nostra amicizia virtuale si sia trasformata in una complice passione per la scrittura. Susanna e` una professionista affermata nella sua attivita` di psicologa ed ha pubblicato diversi libri con case editrici Italiane. Collabora con Hoffmann & Hoffmann fin dall'inizio di questa avventura editoriale. "Nel vuoto" e` ambientato a Roma, luogo di residenza e di vita. E`un giallo leggero, estivo, oserei dire da spiaggia. Da leggere, svuotando la mente dai tormentati dilemmi che viviamo in questi giorni. Raccontato con ritmi da commedia all'italiana. F. Guzzardi : Come nasce questo giallo e cosa ti ha ispirato gli intrecci ed i personaggi?    Susanna: "Nel vuoto" è nato da un evento acc...

Suspended between philosophy and raw realism, coexisting with extraordinary lightness, until the drama of existence and its...

Creating Heroines

Heroines are always a complicated subject to tackle. They are similar to villains in that you have to know their back story before you begin. The advantage with most heroines though, is that the whole book is about them. The reader will learn the back story as the book moves along. The same tips and tricks for villains can be used for heroines and even heroes so be sure to read that post first. I think most writers have trouble writing heroines. The tendency is to make them hard and unforgiving. They are written like a man with a few female traits thrown in to remind the reader they are female. A lot of writers forget that they are women first. The heroine may have been raised under the harshest of conditions, but they are still women. They think differently than men. They may be able to shut off emotions, but they are still present and can still cause problems. A good heroine is a woman first and a hero second. It sounds odd I know, because you never think of Wonder Woman cryin...
