Hello hello!
Beginning "weekend? What a pleasure:)
Well, on Monday, back to the martyrdom of the school T__T but I am still optimistic enough to bring ésta entrevista que personalmente he disfrutado un montón ^^
Va nada más y nada menos que a Federico Axat , un escritor Argentino cuya primera novela es "Benjamín" ( Reseña aquí ) que como recordarán algunos de ustedes, es una novela de terror sobre el chico de 9 años que escondido en el ático saca sus instintos homicidas (?).
¿Listos para conocer un poco más sobre el autor?
EC: Ely Cervantes
FA: Federico Axat
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
EC: Hello hello! Frederick is a real pleasure to have you on the blog. Let me welcome you and thank you for taking the time to answer these questions.
FA: Hi Ely! Thank you for this interview and for the dissemination of my novel.
EC: Well, let's begin. Could you tell us a little about yourself, who is Frederick Axat?
FA: 'm Argentine civil engineer-turned-writer and I have 35 years. My novels are essentially dose of horror suspense. As a reader I like stories with elaborate plots, twists and final round, and that's what I try putting a priority at the time of writing. Benjamin is my first novel and I am very happy that Mexican readers can enjoy it.
EC: Do you usually write listening to music, or would you rather do it quietly?
FA: I can not write without music. The only condition is that I know well. If this is a new disk, I need to listen to it before a few times. Of course, when I go to the correction stage, the process is more like reading and I need silence. U2 is my header band, but I have many others like me a lot. I usually listen to English bands such as Blur, Oasis, Coldplay ...
EC: Does this author not you get tired of reading?
FA: Since I discovered Michael Connelly. In general I can ration books at will, but it is impossible for me and I eat two or three days.
EC: Now tell me, what book changed your life, or has marked significant?
FA: Two. The first is The Mysterious Island, Jules Verne. I read it out of my childhood and was the first big book I set out to finish. Has more than 600 pages, a true challenge for me at that time. I had read other books by Verne, as Journey to the center of the earth, From the Earth to the Moon and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, but were cut versions for kids. The shock was brutal. The book is great, and I also found a completely unexpected end I had to do with other author's books (I will not reveal it in case anyone does not know what I mean). There is nothing like finding yourself the value of reading. Cemetery
The other animal was a few years later, and so I started reading King, another of my main reference. I was also lucky to start with a great book.
EC: Where do you usually get writing? Do you have a favorite?
FA: write in a desktop PC, so I'm stuck in my studio. Anyway, I do not feel comfortable writing in public places, mainly because each session is usually a few hours to several periods of inactivity. Spend too much money on coffee.
EC: In your opinion, what is the best and worst thing about being writer?
FA: In my case it is best to do what I like. Worst it is very hard to get ahead.
EC: "told me that you lived in Mexico? What do you like most of our lands? * O *
FA: Yes! Mexico is fabulous. Those who know me know that I do not mean compromise. I lived from 2004 to 2008 in Mexico City, so I'm part Chilango:) I worked as an engineer in a telecommunications company and really was a unique experience. By then, Benjamin had written, and during those years of hard work in my profession now sought to correct it. I went with the idea of \u200b\u200bstaying a couple of years doubling ended. You ask me what I liked most? Many things. Its people I have met great people who I miss dearly. The weather, at least the City is a blessing, though I have known many other cities. I love food, and not the sites prepared for tourists, but those small businesses where they eat tacos richer. He missed the little things, my routines weekends walks Sears, buy some donuts in El Globo, Reform walk, visit the square of the computer near the base ... so many things. I hope to return soon.

ON THE NOVEL
EC: When and why born "Benjamin"?
FA: Originally an attempt to write a story and rescue the love of writing for some time had been shelved because of my work. The story eventually became a novel idea that I took the decision to write. For that I had to quit my job.
EC: you always liked the terror-suspense, or is your debut in the genre?
FA: always liked, but the conjunction of both that I like most, has been more regularly exploited by the cinema. The combination of The Sixth Sense
seems perfect. More suspense than horror, to put it in practical terms.
EC: Will we have here a struggle for power? You know, the good ... the bad ...?
FA: Yes, but not in the sense of Darth Vader vs Obi Wan, but internal strife in several characters. As an author I am very interested in psychology of the characters, their inner demons. But above all things, I think readers will find some surprises in the plot.
EC: Was it difficult to create a character as dark and vengeful Benjamin? FA
: No. The characters are the most difficult light. Goodness is undervalued.
EC: Do you think that Benjamin is something about you?
FA: Well, in my parents' house, in which I grew up, there is a loft identical to that described in the novel. In any case, and based on the previous question, I will clarify that I do not think nor dark nor vindictive J I am generally a pretty quiet.
EC: How would you summarize your book in one sentence?
FA: bearable Seeking create stories, which mainly fulfill the mission to entertain. I'm very interested internal processes of the characters and, especially, the strength of the plot and conclusion.
EC: We will soon have more material yours?
FA: There is nothing specific about the publication of my next novel. I have four in waiting, so I hope some of them get published in Mexico.
EC: Finally, what message would you give to all readers?
FA: That in my Facebook I hope to meet you.
EC: Thank you for your time. It was truly an honor to have you as a guest. I hope we can read your book soon. Thanks again, and remember that you're always welcome in this space!
