Oliver Frances

Pagan Spirits had a chance to ask Oliver some questions. Here are his answers. PS: What was the name of the first book you wrote? How did you get it published? Oliver:Summer Love... Self-published at smashwords.com (To avoid query letters or finding an agent I decided to go on self-publishing and create my own publishing company.) PS: Which do you find leads you to your best work: your triumphs or your tragedies? Do you write from joy or pain? Oliver: Spiritual realization. In fact, all the books that I've written recently are spiritual ones or have a great content of spirituality. I don't write from joy or pain anymore. In fact, many years ago I believed that an author had to go through hardships to create a good work, but not anymore. PS: Do you have a writing ritual? If you listen to music while you're writing, what do you listen to? Oliver: I hear music--very light one because the deep is in my writing. PS: Who has been the biggest influence on your c...

              A woman in love with her husband breaks down when she finds out that he has an affair with another woman –whom he loves. The broken-hearted wife bursts out yelling out outrageous adjectives at the mistress, who is the blame for the split of her marriage. The wife wonders how a woman could do this to a decent person. For her, this woman was one of no morals and unprincipled, not to label this woman as a bitch.            The wife parts company with her husband, and each one moves on. After a time, the woman, who was once married, falls in love again, but this new man isn't single.

"That's the way as life is," she answered simply. So Decency is relative.

So man sets himself into a race to pursue these goals –which eventually brings him to individualism.  His concern about him leads to isolating himself from his neighbor, it turning him into a lonely soul. Unable to comprehend that wealth is not a real principle and that this shouldn't rule over him –but the other way around; he metamorphoses himself into a heartless flesh that goes through life as a hollowed being without a valuable thought. A person can lose sight of what this considers truly important in life  and of what would grant him true happiness. But, after water has passed under the bridge, man is aware of what is essential in life –the aim for which he has come here. Sadly people often only find it out at the end of life.  In most of the times,  fate...
