· SWP: You have just signed your
new book with Barnes and Noble, what is the name of the book and what is it about
in short?
·
TAUSI: The book I have just
signed with Barnes and Noble is called “The Touch of An Angel” is a story of
loss and rejoice, that will inspire and encourage anyone going through pain!
·
SWP: Will it be available even in Tanzania and
the expected price?
·
TAUSI: I work with
different book stores in Tanzania, will have to make arrangements to see if
they can carry it...meanwhile people can still buy it online, it is $15 a copy.
·
SWP: How do you see the business of writing
books in Tanzania and in the developed world like US?
·
Tausi: I haven’t been
home in a while but I know Tanzanians love to read...I did at school and learned
a lot about the world through the window or books. I’d encourage old and young
to read many books.
·
SWP: Where do you get story inspirations before
starting writing your books? from your own life or?.
·
TAUSI: I write from
heart and current situations in my life inspire a particular book. I wrote “The
Art of Beauty and Health” when I was actively in fashion and surrounded with
world of beauty. I then wrote “The African princess”, also inspired by my
journey from Tanzania to western then worked in fashion. My book “The touch of
an Angel” is also inspired by me losing my first born. I also published
“Beautiful You” by working with young girls and see the areas that they need
inspiration with.
· SWP: When to expect your
new book in the market?
·
TAUSI: If you follow
me, you know I have been talking about a cook-book and children’s story as my
world now involves the kitchen and my children...not sure when it will happen
but I hope soon!
·
SWP: What makes someone to be a good writer?
·
Tausi: By connecting your
emotions with your readers, makes you relatable and people would understand
your pain, joy or any theme that can inspire someone to be better or to know
LIFE brings valleys and rivers.
SWP: Thank
you very much
TAUSI: Thank you for your loyalty and support...and to
all my fellow Tanzanians that have been with me for a long time now or the new
generation!
