AUTHOR INTERVIEW
Life Is What It's Called - What inspired you to write this story?
Bruce Nemovitz - My inspiration to write my story began with the addition of 7 grandchildren growing up in a divided world. I wanted to write a story that would in some way offer the concept that we are all connected to one another and the earth. With global warming and a wide political divide, I hope that this next generation will be kind to one another through a universal love for all life and the world in which they live.
Life Is What It's Called - How has your background helped you in writing this story?
Bruce Nemovitz - I have been a full-time Realtor for over 44 years. My job, in essence, is to bring two parties together, buyer and seller, to come to agreement in terms. This role as a mediator has given me insights into the ability of opposing party’s incentives to come together for a common goal: to buy/sell a home.
Life Is What It's Called - What do you love most about nature?
Bruce Nemovitz - I love nature’s ability to recover, survive, and adapt to any situation. Most importantly, the natural beauty that nature offers cannot be replicated. The fact that life relies on a symbiotic relationship between plants, water, and air gives us the lesson that we as people cannot live without depending on nature and one another.
Life Is What It's Called - How do you see libraries or schools using your book?
Bruce Nemovitz - I am confident that my book can be a learning tool for teachers helping young children (7-10) understand the beauty and wonder of nature and that we are all connected through a universal love that cannot be quantified. The lesson will be taught by exceptional graphics and an easy-to-understand poetic style.
Life Is What It's Called - What sets this book apart from other books on the market?
Bruce Nemovitz - My book is unique and special in its delivery, graphics, and message. I realize there are so many similar books in style and message, but none bring the lesson of connection and love in a way that is so simple and easy to understand.
Life Is What It's Called - What activities can parents do with children that go along with this story?
Bruce Nemovitz - I envisioned parents not just reading this book to their children but using this book to teach a lesson that will never be forgotten; that we are all connected and reliant on nature and its beauty for a peaceful, gratifying life. A lesson that one’s child will take with them for the rest of their lives.
Life Is What It's Called - Are you working on any new writing projects?
Bruce Nemovitz - This is my third published book, but the other two are non-fiction business-related books. I enjoyed writing this book, and my goal is to offer another book or two teaching other important lessons of life that can bring us together as a society.
Life Is What It's Called - Anything else readers should know about you and this book?
Bruce Nemovitz - The reader should know that my inspiration came from my seven grandchildren. I look into their eyes and see such hope and innocence. I want to offer what little I can to leave them a better world, a world without hate and separation. A world that thrives on love and peace without judgement and separation. I once heard that you change the world one person at a time. If you’ve changed one person in a positive way, you’ve changed the world. My hope and desire is to leave the world in a better place for future generations.
