L.A. VILLAFANE
"Great Authors always have something unique about them. They don't want to give a Reader what's been done before. They want to give them more. Something different. They want to tell that story that's never been told. They don't compete with the other Great Authors instead they appreciate them. They learn from them. And because of this Authors continue to bring us amazing books. For that I am grateful. It doesn't matter what genre they love it is their Passion that pours from their words. They connect to the main character and their story takes on a life of it's own. And from there the Reader connects to their book. It's a Beautiful thing when someone can open our eyes to a Book that stretches our imagination from beginning to end. Lori Villafane is one of these Great Authors. She let us know what motivates her."

Jason: "What motivated you to write "The Other Gloria"?"
Lori:
"I'm a hopeless psychological thriller fan. I kept waiting for someone to write a novel with a protagonist I could really identify with. When that novel never came, I decided to write it myself."
"Since this was my first book, I knew I was going to need help and advice. I worked with talented authors, editors, and agents over a two-year span to bring "Gloria" to fruition."
"When I say, I was looking for a protagonist I could relate to, it's because I live with a condition called dissociative disorder. I have seen books written on the subject, but never one that I could relate to, personally. So, I guess you could say, that was my motivation."
Jason: "What characteristic of Gloria can you relate to the most and why?"
Lori:
"I relate to Gloria's journey, living with the traumas which lead to dissociative disorder and dealing with the challenges that go along with it, (the severe memory loss, confusion, deep regret, and having to find that other part of yourself--the one you never knew existed)."
Jason: "For fans and book lovers, briefly describe "The Other Gloria."
Lori:
"Gloria's story begins on one fateful night that will set her life on a collision course between her past and her future. On that dark January night, Gloria finds herself ripped away from her beloved fiance, Rick, and flung into the arms of her dangerous ex-husband, Charles once more. She discovers that to escape this time around with her life and the life of her two young daughters, she will have to meet the one she never wanted to meet, the one who harbors unspeakable secrets from Gloria's past--The Other Gloria. For Gloria, it's a dangerous journey of self-discovery that she may not survive."
Jason: "Are you working on another book and if so what can you tell us about it?"
Lori:
"I am working on another novel in the same genre. It's in the early stages right now, but as I seem to do, I have written the ending first. After that, I allow the story to develop organically, and I'm usually as surprised at the finished product as anyone. I think not knowing exactly where the story is going to go, adds to the pleasure of writing it."
Jason: "For those who want to read your book, what is the easiest way to buy "The Other Gloria"?"
Lori:
""The Other Gloria," will be available at Amazon, on Kindle and Kindle Unlimited, as well as Barnes and Noble, October 15, 2019."

CLOSING
Lori Villafane was motivated by the fact that she read books on her topic of interest before but not one that she could relate to. That's one of my Favorite things about her. I love when an Author realizes that the story they were waiting for never came and they decided to do it themselves. I appreciate that so much because they are going to give us something original. She is a psychological thriller fan so you know she is going to give us something with a twist. She doesn't compete with other Authors. Instead she works with them. She also worked with Editors and Agents amd appreciates them. When someone does things like that they are not writing for themselves. They want the Reader to experience something special. That type of energy brings great results and that's something we all can look forward to. Click on the link above and buy "The Other Gloria".
