Ah, The Next Book!

Dia Dan Aris

Yup, that’s the next book. Will the title change? I am not sure but like my other book, I want the title to reflect what the book is about. Unlike Gerobak 777, this book is about teenage problems and not so much adult based.

Dia dan Aris focuses on many of life’s problems as experienced by me and many others. I feel that while the writing style is the same, the feel of the story will be very different. Seeing life, trials, and tribulations through the eyes of teenagers rather than adults.

How Would I Know?

I am a single dad… raising my children from the ages of 8 and 13, yah I think I have a pretty good idea. Besides, we were all teenagers once, right? We all went through puberty, high school and somehow made it to this thing called adulthood.

It is not so hard to recall the anxiety, the pimples, and the days of doubt during those times. So, we toss in a bit more drama and a bit more twists and turns, and BAM! we got a book!

Dia Dan Aris focuses on a young would be couple who get dealt a certain deck of cards and we sit back and watch how they deal with and solve those problems. Adult stuff really.

How & When?

I am a bit unsure, as I was originally thinking of releasing Four Letters. However, upon discussing this with friends and my distributor we decided to run with this book for now.

While the book is finished, the translation process is still being done and of course, the cover designs need to be dealt with as well. These all take time and one thing I will do very differently is the inside of the book. More graphics, more involvement from the graphics to take the reader deeper into the lives of the young adults in the story. This also takes work. Finding the right people to work with is never easy. This is one aspect I dislike. Finding the local cover designers and graphics. So that will be the challenge of the next book!

Zsolt Zsemba

Zsolt Zsemba has worn many different hats. He has been an entrepreneur, and businessman for over 30 years. Living abroad has given him many amazing experiences in life and also sparked his imagination for writing. After moving to Canada from Hungary at the age of 10 and working in a family business for a large part of his life. The switch from manufacturing to writing came surprisingly easily for him. His passion for writing began at age 12, mostly writing poetry and short stories. In 1999, the chance came to write scripts. Zsolt took some time off from his family business to write in Jakarta Indonesia for MD Entertainment. Having written dozens of soap operas and made for TV movies, in 2003 Zsolt returned to the family business once more. In 2018, he had the chance to head back to Asia once again. He took on the challenge to be the COO for MD Pictures and get back into the entertainment business. The entertainment business opened up the desire to write once more and the words began to flow onto the pages again. He decided to rewrite a book he began years ago. Organ House was reborn and is a fiction suspense novel while Scars is a young adult drama focused on life’s challenges. After the first two books, his desire to write not only became more challenging but enjoyable as well. After having several books completed he was convinced to publish them for your enjoyment. Zsolt does not tend to stay in one specific genre but tends to lean towards strong female leads and horror. Though he also has a few human interest books, he tends to write about whatever brews in his brain for a while.
