Witch
Piluca
looks like a wonderful children's story. Do you plan any more?
It's
a story of my mother so we could do 10 or 20 more. She has a lot of
imagination. But now I'm immersed in the next book that will be a bit
of "self-help for children", will help them to become aware
of the world around them.
It
will be a special book, I have always liked this type of books (self
help, motivation) and children, so I will put the two worlds
together.
What
age group would like your book the most?
I
am guided by the age of my daughter, now she is 8 years old, so 8 to
10 years would be okay.
Did
you do all your own illustrations with Witch
Piluca?
Yes,
all the illustrations and color are mine. I had a great time drawing
them.
What
are your ambitions for your writing career? Full time? Part time?
My
intention is to dedicate myself full time in the creation of books. I
know my future is there. I think everyone can offer something of
their own to help. This is my contribution.
When
did you decide to become a writer?
As
I said this story is from my mother. I recorded it with the mobil and
developed it giving it shape. There I realized that apart from
illustrating I can write.
When
writing Witch
Piluca
did anything stand out as particularly challenging?
Everything
has been a bit challenging, first the style of illustration, I wanted
to make the characters with cartoon style that seemed to leave a
cartoon series. The background wanted to do with spots, no line. And
finally the entire layout and export of the files that amazon
requested.
I
have learned a lot from the whole process.
How
did you come up with the story of Witch
Piluca?
It's
a story my mother told my daughter to have fun with, told her a story
every week from age 4 and now she's 8, so imagine how many stories
there are.
One
day the girl told the story to the friends of the class and the
mothers of the girls asked her what library they could buy. And my
mother told them that the book did not exist that it was an invented
story. So we decided to create it.
What
do you like to do when not writing?
Being
with my daughter and also drawing, reading comics and motivational
books, watching movies, series and playing tennis.
In
my web page (www.davidrovira.es) I will inform of the books that are
going out. From there you can contact me. I also have the author page
of amazon
(https://www.amazon.com/David-Rovira/e/B06XK9KS7V/ref=ntt_dp_epwbk_0)
from there will also be all the news. I guess I'll have to make
myself an artist facebook page.
