Book: The Adventures Of Sara Beara And Selena Bombeelina: Book 1: Who We Are
Q1. Hello Ma’am, can you please introduce yourself? Readers would love to know more about you.
Hello, My name is Jennifer N. Senjanin. I am a mother to two beautiful children, twins that are turning twelve soon. I am also a teacher of 21+ years, and I have always loved to write. From a young age I loved reading books. It let me travel the world, and escape into my imagination. I started writing stories as long as I can remember.
Q2. What were the key challenges you faced while writing ‘The Adventures Of Sara Beara And Selena Bombeelina: Book 1: Who We Are ’ book?
Interestingly, I started writing the book, just shortly after I had Sara and Selena, for whom the book’s characters are named after, and also who the characters are created around. But like many new parents, a busy parenting and teaching schedule delayed the writing process. A few years later as the girls were growing up and their personalities were taking shape, and I had more time, the book was back on track and then finally completed.
Q3. What books or authors have most influenced your own writing?
Two of my favorite books growing up, really impacted my life and my own creative process. The secret garden and Where the sidewalk ends. Two very different books with a common theme, imagination with greater meaning, and in effet communicating such real and significant life lessons.
Q4. What’s your favourite spot to visit in your own country? And what makes it so special to you?
One of my favourite spots to visit is not too far and in my own backyard. Windsor, Ontario, Canada, has a beautiful waterfront, and a great path to walk, relax and reflect. Growing up from carnivals, to concerts and more the waterfront would transform into what it needed to. The path also extends for miles and is outlined with beautiful flowers and natural settings.
Q5. Is there lots to do before you drive in and start writing a book?
For me, I need to feel at ease to begin the writing process. It is almost like I have to feel like its the right time. It could be early in the morning or the middle of the day, when an idea or a new inspiration for writing comes along.
