Actually, I have already written a book about one mystery of my ascenders. I had known about a "hole" in my family tree—a French "John Doe" soldier as my incidental great-grandfather through my paternal branch. The story was about him like he could have been a rapist, but instead of it he found totally innocent: my g-g-ps fell in love but spent only five days together... That was a usual case in those times (after WW1, in Mid-Eastern Europe). What makes this event extraordinary, is how it's ended and who was that nameless soldier...

It's funny, my recent book is a lockdown diary about 2020 Spring. Definitely, I'm a Hungarian but I was concerned about Italy in those early quarantine days - first tidal of pandemic - from March to June. Their deadly numbers were so bad I was moved and - because I really like Italy and Italian people - thought about writing a diary of a bilingual family in Milan, Lombardia. The family was mentioned in my novel titled "Andrea & Andrea", so the novel got the title "Andrea tutto bene" by a word pun of "andrá tutto bene" which means "everything's gonna be fine" in Italian (and this was the bonmot for the essential workers in those times with illustrated happy people and rainbow). Yeah, and it's true - everything's gonna be fine! :)

Observation & expectation in listening and silence - things can happen in any time. Subject can be found on the streets - this is a Hungarian idiom for interpretation about inspiration can come from anywhere.

Read much & write much. Follow your dreams & find your own voice.

Writing is a survival tool for me, so itself is a great thing. But when someone tells they've read my book and it changed their lives or blew their depression away - that means everything to me.

Trying to change activity, e.g. reading, walking - in form of lockdown XD -, listening to music or bingewatching movies & series, sometimes drawing. Doing something else than before. It's often successful.

Heading to Hogwarts! :) I join to the Ravenclaw house and my BFF would be Luna Lovegood. :D And also I'd travel to my fictional place, islands of Tripicon. There I'll be a head princess so I'd lead the monarchy's government. My firstborn - son - would be the prime minister.

There is no list for summer or any season. :) I am a total impulse reader and always interrupted in reading - now I'm trying to leash my reading routines somehow but don't want to use seasonal listing. Even in summer, I can enjoy some Christmas reading. It can make me cooled down in that hot.
