Check out Samantha’s author interview with SWFL Online News — BETWEEN THE COVERS

When I was a child at the innocent age of six, my favorite grandmother passed away. I didn’t know how to process death. All I knew was I wanted my beloved grandmother back, and I wanted to feel her spirit. I didn’t know how, I just wanted to connect with her again. I subconsciously found a way to do that. Soon after her death, I stumbled upon her booklet of poetry. I didn’t know my grandmother was a writer. I read her material, and I felt like I was reading a famous poet’s work. I was flabbergasted. It was like this mysterious secret about my grandmother unfolded right before my eyes. I wanted to be just like her — just like that! So, I bought a black-and-white notepad and pencil and started creative writing my own short stories and poetry. Let me also mention, I was obsessed with rainbows, drawing and coloring them as a kid too. I had no idea why then, but later on in life, it came back around full circle…all of it.

Fast forward to my early twenties. After two years at Florida State University with an undecided major, a boyfriend who was in a serious car crash and badly injured, I decided to move back home to Cooper City, FL and attend Florida International University in North Miami. Part of the reason I moved back home was to be closer to him. By the way, he is now my husband, and it’s because of that car accident we’re still together, twenty-years later. Another story of manifestation for another time. I didn’t know what I wanted to major in until my father suggested I would be good in Journalism/Broadcasting. I never thought of it. I was lost and confused at the time about my passion, and he thought it would be good for me because he knew I enjoyed writing and didn’t mind being in front of a camera. I went for it; I’m so glad I did. It turned out to be one of the best decisions of my life, because it taught me how to be a better writer, the craft of telling a good story, learning how to listen and interview to make for a better storyteller, and also it helped perfect my grammar. After graduation, I had my heart set on becoming a journalist/broadcaster and interviewer. However, fate had other plans.

Months and months lead into years, and I couldn’t find my dream job. I resorted back to bartending for awhile after college to pay my bills, and I even took up traffic producing at one point. I hated it and was miserable. My living arrangements and relationship hit a low and big turning point, and I was forced to make personal decisions that affected my professional ones. I eventually decided not to move out of state, to stay behind and support my fiancé who was then in nursing school. I didn’t want to leave him. Our relationship was on the rocks, and in order for it to work, I had to actually put in the work. I chose us. So, my broadcast/journalism dreams were put on the back-burner. Boy oh boy, I’m so glad they were. All of this happening behind the scenes, I later learned, was all part of a much bigger plan. I was not meant to find a dream job in journalism. Thank heavens for that, because as I see journalism today, I do not have the backbone or am not meant for it. Through that time during rebuilding our relationship and planning a wedding, I wanted to get back to my love of telling stories and creative writing. I also began working with my mom and her charity, which benefits the special-needs’ population, including autism. She needed help at the time with opening up a residential facility, fundraising, and public relations, and media press releases on it. Fortunately for her, my work with journalism school and internship at WSVN 7 News in Miami with Entertainment TV (Deco Drive), I had exactly what she was looking for. Coincidence? I think not. The stars were aligning. Manifestations and dreams were taking place behind the scenes.

During this time, I came up with the idea of a humorous, animal-talking, chapter book called, MURPHY: THE PHAT CAT. It was based on the inspiration and my real-life pet and black cat, Murphy, who reached thirty-five pounds at one point. I’ve always had a lot of pets; my family and I are animal lovers! I wondered how my pets would sound if they could talk. What their personalities would be like if they came to life on paper? That is how MURPHY: THE PHAT CAT manifested. It’s about a cool, 35lb. (phat, not fat) cat named Murphy who must try and save his fellow, furry friends in their peaceful suburban neighborhood from a gang of bullying burrowing owls who have recently moved in causing chaos…paid in return with tuna fish. I wanted to originally write this as a screenplay. I bought a book on how to write one and quickly became discouraged when I read one’s chances in Hollywood of ever getting picked up, and it being made into a movie.  Self-doubt crept in and won. So, I decided I’d have a better shot of it ever reaching an audience if I wrote it as a children’s book — another great decision that set me up for my manifestations to unfold, even though I didn’t know it yet. I had no idea what adventure I was about to embark on, and how it would mold and teach me to become a published, children’s book author, and eventually, screenwriter. Not overnight, though. It took years and years.

After writing MURPHY: THE PHAT CAT as a book, I joined SCBWI (Society of Children’s Book Writers & Illustrators), went to conferences, joined writers’ critique groups, met other children’s book writers, did many revisions on the manuscript, and realized this is what I wanted to do with my life. It wasn’t just a hobby anymore. It was my life’s dream, passion, and career path. I perfected it best I could. I submitted the book to hundreds of agents and publishers (combined) to no avail — rejection after rejection. Years of discouragement. During those years, my best friend of seventeen-years died in a tragic accident at only the ripe young age of twenty-eight. I was in a dark place, and I needed to use writing as my therapy. This story came to life inside of me, and I had to tell it. RAINBOW CRYSTAL was my second children’s book, yet first to be published. MURPHY: THE PHAT CAT was meant to be put on hold for a little while.

RAINBOW CRYSTAL was manifested through my pain. It is a middle-grade, fantasy novel about a ten-year-old girl who loses her best friend in a tragic accident, and shortly learns thereafter that she is the chosen one to journey through a magical world inside a rainbow to return a powerful crystal back to its wizard owner, which was stolen by an evil witch and her trolls. It’s a book about true friendship, grief, and finding hope again after loss. It’s also a magical, adventurous book filled with mystical and mythical creatures. There’s that rainbow I was talking about earlier. I colored them as a kid, now I was venturing through one in a book. Not to mention, that our charity was also named RAINBOW GUARDIAN. WIZARD OF OZ was always a family favorite around our house. It all came back around, like I said earlier. Another finished book. Years of writing, and more years of rejection. But, I never stopped submitting and believing in my dreams.

I did the journaling. I wrote my dreams and manifestations down, including on the Postcards to the Universe postcards. I also created vision boards and did life coaching work. I got knocked down over and over, but I continued to get back up. I wouldn’t let it stop me. I kept saying it would happen, even in my darkest days when I doubted myself and was in a self-pitying party of despair. I never gave up. I just kept going. Failure was not an option. Then, one day, it just happened. I got that letter from my publisher. “We love your book. We want to publish it. Welcome to the family!” It was one of my deepest and greatest dreams come true! It didn’t happen overnight, and it definitely didn’t happen in the way that I thought it would, but it happened in the way and in time that it was meant to. It all unfolded divinely perfect. I manifested it because I didn’t stop working for, believing, and visualizing it. I also believe in more and even BIGGER dreams and blessings to come in. I’m just getting started.

RAINBOW CRYSTAL was released on May 15, 2018. The book cover art design came out more beautiful than I ever envisioned, and my book-launch event was a dream come true! That was everything I ever envisioned and more. Then, it happened again. Four months after RAINBOW CRYSTAL was released, I got a second letter from another publisher. They wanted to publish MURPHY: THE PHAT CAT. It said it again, “Welcome to the family!” No better feeling than that. My first literary baby. Bittersweet. Finally…out there into the world. And guess when I got the news? On my birthday. Yup! It was my personal gift of manifestation from the universe. It was saying, “This is your purpose. This is why you’re here. This is your present.” It will be released August 2019. Let me also mention that I received the publishing contract for RAINBOW CRYSTAL on the one-year anniversary of Murphy’s death, and I signed the contract on my sister, Melisa’s, birthday. More coincidences? I think not again. All of my dreams coming to fruition, and on the special dates that were meaningful to me, were only signs from the universe that it was all meant to be and unfolding exactly the way that it was meant to.

Let me mention that during all the years of writing these two books, I took breaks to have a family. I currently have two children, Bella (8) and Lorenzo (4). But, I also simultaneously wrote my screenplay, MANO NERA (BLACK HAND). After a fate encounter with a movie producer, another opportunity presented itself. It’s a true story about my Italian great-grandparents who beat all the odds against them. MANO NERA is a murder-revenge-love-story and time period piece. It’s still looking for the right home in Hollywood, but after all that has happened with my children’s books, I believe it will. It will fall exactly in the right hands at the right time. My point here? You remember the book I told you I bought on how to learn to write MURPHY: THE PHAT CAT as a script? I never used it for that. But, when it came time, I needed it for MANO NERA. When I bought the book, I never realized that one day it would be for a much better purpose. I manifested the screenplay the day I bought the book on how to write one. You see…God would not plant the seed of desire in your soul if you weren’t meant to do it. The dream, passion, wish is in you for a reason. Go after it! Believe in it. Never ever give up on it, and you will manifest it! I know, because I did.Murphy the Phat Cat by Samantha Caprio-NegretMANO NERA Sccreenplay by Samantha Caprio-Negret and Richard Price Sorin

 

What an incredible author interview done on me by a young lady named, Sarka, in the UK! Thank you.

Check it out here on her blog:

Q: So for the ones who have not read your book can you briefly introduce it? Obviously without giving too much away!

A: The tragic loss of her best friend, Josie Lee, leaves ten-year-old Seraphina questioning her destiny, until she learns she’s the chosen one. Seraphina is whisked away by a frantic, talking butterfly on a quest to bring order back to a world inside a rainbow called Raiven with its six different, colored- realms by finding and returning a powerful rainbow crystal back to its wizard owner, which was stolen from an evil witch and her trolls. Raiven is a bridge between heaven and earth; Seraphina is motivated by the knowledge that she will get to see her best friend’s dead spirit through magical fairies and their pixie dust. Seraphina will even meet and bond with a warrior fairy-boy and her own unicorn, which she unknowingly birthed through a wish on a shooting star. Throughout her journey, she passes a series of tests and discovers self-confidence and hope with the help of supernatural characters who guide her along the way. Most importantly, she learns that Josie Lee is more of a guardian angel to her than she realizes and has never really left her side after all. It doesn’t even require magic, just faith.

Q: Can you tell us more about the main character and where the inspiration comes from?

A: Seraphina is a nine-going-on-ten-year-old insecure, cuticle-biting, gullible girl who has recently moved from NJ to FL. She is afraid she won’t make any new friends in her new hometown. She wants to escape her reality, because of parents who just don’t understand her pessimistic attitude about it, and her special-needs’ older sister who can drive her crazy. That is until she meets and befriends Josie Lee, and they become inseparable best friends and soul sisters. Seraphina then starts to let her personality and strength come out and unfold. After the tragic loss of Josie Lee, Seraphina learns she is the chosen one with a very important mission in a magical world. Through her journey, she passes a series of tests that teach her life lessons about love, true friendship, hope, and courage. 

This book was inspired by the real-life friendship and loss of my own best friend. Through my grief, and for my own therapeutic reasons, RAINBOW CRYSTAL, was written an manifested.

Q: And how do you relate to the story?

A: In so many ways, because Seraphina is based on my character as a child, real-life parents, and special-needs’ sister. Seraphina’s best friend in the story, Josie Lee, is based on my childhood friendship and loss. Both of our realities inspired parts in my book, but obviously, it’s the fantasy elements that are fictitious. There are some conversations and things in the book, though, that really did happen in the past. For example, we did that cutting of our thumbs so we could become blood-sisters. 

Q: What message do you want your young readers to take away from the book?

A: Real friendships will stand the true test of time and space and life events (good or bad). Childhood friendships define us and change us. They are essential to our well-being and mold us as adults. Also, we all have our realities that we’d like to escape. I created a world where kids can be able to do that, if they feel the need to from time to time. Especially, if they are dealing with their own loss. I want them to know death is not the end. Our souls just transcend to another realm. Our loved-ones are there, watching and guiding over us. Also, we will come out of the other side whole again. We may feel broken and hopeless, but the rainbows are a sign for us to never lose that hope. Sometimes, we just have to hold on a bit longer — we have to weather that storm to get to the rainbow. Life will move on and so will passed souls, however, the love and memories will never go away. Those people, friendships, love, and time shared will last for eternity. “That” is what will give us faith, hope, and the strength to go on. That strength is more powerful than we even realize; it’s through that courage that we will learn more about ourselves than we ever knew was even inside of us. Magic exists — it’s in the belief that greater and much bigger things are in store for us. But, you musn’t ever give up. 

Also, I wrote this book to honor the life, memory, and influence of my best friend. I hope and believe (somewhere she’s watching), and I have made her proud.

Q: Did you always want to be a writer?

A: I didn’t know that I always wanted to be a fiction writer (like as a career), but I’ve been writing since I was a child. It started with short stories and poetry. I graduated from Florida International University with a BS in Journalism/Broadcast and really learned the craft of writing/grammar. I briefly wrote for WSVN 7Entertainment News (Deco Drive) and for Traffic Pulse Networks doing traffic producing. After graduating and taking months to find a job as a broadcaster, I began creative writing on the side. I first had an idea about a humorous, animal-talking chapter book (early reader), which was inspired by my fat, 35 lb., black cat named Murphy, and all the pets I’ve owned over the years. My husband and I are huge animal-lovers! So, I always wondered what they would sound like if they could talk, based on their personalities. Through that, my first children’s book was written and created, MURPHY: THE PHAT CAT. By the way, I just received a publishing contract on this book two days ago from Burchette & Ferguson. RAINBOW CRYSTAL was actually my second children’s book written. It was published on May 15, 2018 with Clean Reads (Astraea Press). 

Q: How long did it take you to write Rainbow Crystal and can you tell us a little bit about the writing process?

A: I started writing RAINBOW CRYSTAL in 2009. Overall, it was a very long and strenuous process, but I took breaks in between — having my two children and writing and working on a screenplay. Yes, I am also a screenwriter. I had many years of critiques, revisions, and a writing coach help me with it. It was not an overnight success. I submitted for a couple of years with many rejections, until one day I participated in #Pitmad on Twitter. I received a like on my pitch from an editor, submitted to her, and signed a week later. The rest is history. 

Q: Anything you would like to say to your readers?

A: I loved working on RAINBOW CRYSTAL. It brought me so much joy, and it was my therapy during a dark place in my life. Something magnificently beautiful came out of that darkness. With that being said, writing a novel takes years and years of practice, hard work, perseverance, and patience. I believe in doing what you love — living your passion — whatever it is. However, in order for anything to be successful, you must work hard at it and never ever give up, even when people tell you, “no.” Most importantly, you must never stop believing in yourself and your dreams. 

Q: And the last question: What is next for you? I am sure the readers are already anticipating a book number 2!

A: Yes, there is a book number 2. I’ve started writing the sequel. I’m four chapters in with, RAINBOW CRYSTAL: The Special Boy Who Could. Two new friends will enter in. One will be an autistic boy with special powers who will change Seraphina’s destiny and enter into the magical world of Raiven with her. There will also be an evil warlock with his two gargoyles and personal dragon. I can not say more than that… you will just have to stay tuned and read it to know how the story ends. 

Q: Thank you so much for the interview! I appreciate you taking the time to answer my questions and all the best on your writing journey!

I wanted to remember this moment always, so I captured it.
▪️▪️▪️▪️
It was the evening of my launch/book-signing event. I came home so tired, yet on a high from my emotions and surreal moment in time. It was a night I dreamt about for so long! I looked at myself in the mirror, and I remembered thinking how pretty my make-up looked, and I didn’t want to take it off. I wanted to stay like “that” forever.
▪️▪️▪️▪️
But, it wasn’t the make-up that made me feel that way. It helped, of course. I’ve had make-up on plenty of nights before, but I never felt like that. No, it was my self-confidence. My huge accomplishment! My dream coming to fruition. It was my night. I owned every part of it. I was an on-top-of-the-world author for a night; I felt like Carrie Bradshaw’s character from SEX IN THE CITY. LOL! The beauty I felt, that I saw, was coming from the inside. That’s true beauty. That’s true happiness (just highlighted with some smokey eyes and red lips). It’s a feeling like no other. Self-worth; self-love. Knowing I’ve set my mind to something grand, and I achieved it ~ knowing that I was the one responsible for making one of my greatest wishes come true. I did it! I took action and went after it. I believed. There’s no one or nothing that can take that away. It’s true authentic power ~ the power from within. I felt it, and I never want to forget it.

Stop wasting your words and energy on people who have not earned or deserve a place in your life anymore. The lesson has been met. They’ve served their purpose, now release them. Life-long relationships are a true privilege.
▪️▪️▪️▪️
Life is precious and so is your time. You can not make people see the light of day or see your worth; you can no change people or chase them down. You can not save people from their own troubles, and you definitely can not make someone love or respect you or want to be a part of your life. You can’t control someone, and you can’t control how they react to you or have treated you, but you can, however, control how you react to them.
▪️▪️▪️▪️
One of my biggest and most rewarding, life-changing methods to that response has been this, “Read my lips…?.” That’s right, nothing. People in my life were always so use to me lecturing them, telling them the truth, making them see the light of day, or what a good friend or asset I was to them, why weren’t they to me… blah, blah, blah. Pointless. Powerless. Changes nothing. But the biggest statement of all — the one that speaks louder than any of it… silence. That’s right. Because the ones who are worth fighting for, are the ones you will make time and noise for. The ones who have lost their seat at your table, are the ones who have shown you time and time again who they really are. One way to know is, you just don’t like what you see or how they make you feel. Trust me, they’ll show you again. For those people? The best response is only one response. Silence. Period. Don’t even waste your precious time. Save it for those who matter. If they haven’t earned a spot for you in those two MOST needed times in your life (BEST & WORST), they definitely haven’t earned it back from you, that’s for sure. I’ve always said, “Don’t worry when I argue with you, worry when I stop. Because, that means there nothing left to fight for.”
▪️▪️▪️▪️
This can also be applied to anyone or any situation that deflates your energy or that’s toxic. Maybe it’s someone you work with or even gossipers or haters. Those people are only projecting their own insecurities onto you, or are jealous or envious. The best response? None. Move on. They’re not worth your time. And truth be told, if they’re wasting their precious energy talking about or hating on you, they don’t have anything interesting enough going on in their own life; let it be their problem, because it is. Plus, it only means… you must be doing something right.
▪️▪️▪️▪️
The beautiful part about it all, is when you truly recognize your value — your worth — you don’t see it as your loss, but feel sorry for them for theirs. Keep smiling, keep quiet, but just keep moving forward. They have no power over you unless you allow it. Remember… “How people treat you is their karma, how you react to it is yours.”
