Suren G. Hakobyan Thank you for the question. It's a very difficult task. You must imagine yourself in the situation, try to think what you'd say. About the villains, you must add what you and your friends would detest most. It comes itself, it's too difficult to put in words.
Suren G. Hakobyan Sitting on the floor and leaning against darkness, I see nothing, smell nothing, feel nothing. And I wonder whether I exist at all.
Suren G. Hakobyan Thank you for this question. Actually, yes, I’m pretty sure a few of my friends, at least three of them, will recognize themselves in my book. Especially Michael. I shared a story from my friend’s life in Void Fate. Remember when Michael tells Aram about the lake and fishing with his classmate in the second grand? It is my belief that episodes based on real stories make it better in a book.
Suren G. Hakobyan Thanks for asking.
Part of it is a real story. I used to play cards with my friends in my friend's apartment. Once we played all night. We left the apartment with the day's first light. It was years ago, but I remember clearly the moment that the idea hit me that morning, while driving home - what if I came out of the apartment and found an empty world.
Suren G. Hakobyan The question is similar like what's the best thing in being a doctor or a musician. I like reading fantasy and I write fantasy. Writing is my passion. There are a lot of writers nowadays for whom writing is a business. They write to make money but being a storyteller was always an art. I love writing, I want my words to be heard by people. I don't seek money, writing is an art for me and I'm always happy to give my book to everyone who asks me.
Suren G. Hakobyan Inspiration comes from everywhere and nowhere at the same time. Yes, I know it is hard understand.
I can tell that the characters in the books are real people, their appearance, their characters, even the stories they tell in the book. If you've read the book Void Fate you'll recall the story that Michael tells Aram about fishing. It was all real.
Suren G. Hakobyan It came a long time ago, about 5 years ago. I wrote the book that time, but it wasn't ready to be published yet. Working on it for years I realized that it is time to give the story a chance. Void Fate is my first book. I do hope the fans of fantasy and horror stories will like it.
