Author Interview with Mila Raphael
Name: Mila Raphael
Pen Name if different: N/A
What first inspired you to write?
I never planned to write, not in a
million years –lol-, so I can’t really say what inspired me to write, but I can
tell you how it happened: In 2014, in the middle of a summer night, I had a
dream, I woke up from it and wrote down in a notebook –around 46 pages-, and I
forgot about it; fast-forward to May 2017, and I found the notebook by random,
while reading through it, I realized my character’s story needed to be told.
How do you come up with the ideas for
your stories?
Like I said, on the previous answer,
they mostly come in dreams. The one in 2014 was quite vivid. A Russian enforcer
was speaking to me about his zolotse –his little piece of gold- and how he was
from the Bratva and she was CIA, but what they felt for each other was stronger
than any brotherhood or Government agency, and would span for a lifetime.
What question do you hate the most about
being a writer?
I am not the most known author so I
don’t think I have been asked many things, but the one everyone seems to want
to know is: How easy is it to publish a book? It’s not. I never thought it was,
but I never knew how much it takes emotionally –and financially- but also how
many people are involved to make that “dream”, take that rough draft a make it
a book.
Are you indie or traditionally
published?
Indie.
Have you ever tried the other style of
publishing?
No.
What are you working on now?
I am 80% done with my book Double Lies.
What is your most recent/upcoming
release?
My first book was released July 21st,
and it’s titled Double Life
