READ THE BLURB


Lady Wild Fowl is an unusual, self-developing story, that analyzes the deepest repressed feelings and emotions, narrated from the romantic mindset of a twenty-six years old lady, who has never had a man in her life.

Nicole has been raised in a society that teaches her nothing about the value of the woman and her feelings, and she leaves home to accept a job offer in China, where she meets Benjamin. In the messy, unpredictable, and, at the same time, exciting Shanghai, Nicole and Benjamin see life from another perspective. While Nicole is facing the lies on which she based her life, revealing secrets she had kept hidden, embracing all the new unknown feelings blooming in her heart; Benjamin has to face the loss of important relationships and fight not to lose himself along with them, as he discovers how stubborn and deep love can be.

Discovering other perceptions of life and love, facing the unknown feelings that come along with them, and fighting the patterns of the social definitions on relationships, will they be able to discover who they really are? And maybe, experience love on the way?

READ AN EXCERPT


The darkness hid feelings that light could never uncover. And, as shadows, they lurked in the depths of my soul whispering low howls for me not to listen properly, but still wonder if they are there or not. They had crawled as lost spirits all that time, sometimes poisoning me and sometimes pushing with strengths impossible to fight. Their whispers deafened everything around as I got deeper and deeper sunk in them, drowning in their weirdly clear waters. And things started to make sense. Yes, in that gloom of losing reason, everything started to make sense to me. Peering to catch any sign of light that justified that illumination, I just realized the undeniable truth. My soul was the same as the darkness. Hiding feelings that made sense only inside there. And all had remained trapped under the spell of unforgettability, as my soul refused to let those feelings go. And I drowned, or probably in that darkness I was being entirely true. Something I hadn’t dared to do in the light. Probably that’s why those feelings were so strong. Probably that’s why my soul was hanging so much in them.

MEET THE AUTHOR


My name is Ivana and I am from Albania, but I am a citizen of the world. I have studied languages and literature, and I currently speak 5 languages.

3 years ago, I decided to move to China and I lived there until Covid started. After that, I transferred to Bali, where I lived for almost another year. Currently, I am traveling around Europe.

As you can see, I love traveling, and this is where I find my inspiration to write. I write about experiences, people I meet, and everything that impresses me. People become my characters, and places I live in, become the book's environment because there is nothing more beautiful than finding meaning in the everyday life. I have combined my love for writing with my experiences and brought to life "Lady Wild Fowl" which is the book I am publishing right now in the women fiction genre.

I have also published two books in the Albanian language some years ago, titled "Nje mengjes ndryshe" (A Different Morning) and "Nen shiun e vjeshtes" (Under the Autumn Rain) both of them in the genre of teenage fiction.

  2. Good afternoon, I hope that this day finds you and all those you care for doing well. I do have a question for you today, are you able to read or write in a noisy environment or do you need peace and quiet as I do?

    1. Hi! Thanks for your question.
      The environment for me is very important. I can't write or read if I am not fully focused on it. This is why I prefer the night to write or nature. ))

    2. Thank you for responding to my query, I am the same when it comes to reading and writing, if I have to do either during the course of the day when there is too much noise around me, I use the white noise from my fan or a rainstorm soundtrack from YouTube to block it all out so that I can focus
