How do you get inspired to write?
D. Van Bui I meditate to get inspired. Surprisingly enough, it does work most of the time. But not all the time. If that is the case, I have to take time off and let my mind relax for a while, before getting back into the groove of it.

What’s the best thing about being a writer?
D. Van Bui Oh, ah, everything is! You get to be the reader and the creator of the book. You get to pull all the strings of where you want the story to go. You get to develop all the yummy characters. You get to be the first to get lost in your own storyline. I just love it all!

What are you currently working on?
D. Van Bui I’m working on a couple of things right now. First, is the sequel book to Black Switch. I’m also writing a couple of children’s books with my daughter, Adriana Bui. She is an artist and an amazing illustrator. I’m having so much fun working together with her.

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?
D. Van Bui I have always been fascinated with the grasp of what energy can do. Specifically, in how both positive and negative forces make up the very essence of our universe. And if negative energy is the single source that rules our egoic mind, can we counter back that by solely using the force of positive energy? Would that be enough to combat the darkest negativity that controls our planet today?

I created the story Black Switch to tug at a fictional answer to those questions. I guess we shall see how the story ends in the books to come.
