Norm: Good day Monty and thanks for participating in
our interview
What motivated you to write Forever
Lasts till Dawn and how did you decide you were ready to
write the book?
Monty:After a fun visit to a palmist. I
was surprised when she told me some past and future predictions that
were true. The final prediction was that I would write a best seller.
twelve years later I Forever Lasts till Dawn was born. This remains
to be seen. The reason why it took so long, was time and work. I had
written other books and was still acting and teaching. These years
later. Here we are.
Norm: How did you decide on the
title, Forever Lasts till Dawn and what
does it mean?
Monty: Originally had ten other titles in
mind. Choosing the right one took me weeks. There are many ways to
interpret the title. My version is Tomorrow never comes. Nothing is
forever. In the book this is proven many times over.
Norm: Did
you find that your experiences as an actor came in handy in writing
the book and if so, how?
Monty: Yes as a child actor, and
watching my daughter from the age of four show talent then living in
Hollywood for a number of years.
Norm: Did you learn
anything from writing your book and what was it?
Monty:
Anyone living in a free country can succeed even though they are
poor. From rags to riches is a familiar story.
Norm: What
was the most difficult part of writing your book?
Monty:Writing
the book by hand was easy, although it took 18 months. It was the
changes and getting my secretary to type them numerous times. After
that was the publishing and the promotions.
Norm: What do
you think makes a good story?
Monty: Any book that is a
page turner. Truth is stranger that fiction.
Norm: How did
you go about creating the characters of Aleca Rabinovitch and Sarah
Brodsky? As a follow up, how much of the book is based on your life
events?
Monty: These are just fictitious characters. Many
of the other characters in the novel are based on real people. Only
the names have been changed to protect the innocent.
Norm:
What is your relationship with your daughter Alicia and what kind of
things do you two do together?
Monty: As you know, Alicia
is a very busy person. Even so we see her and the family quite a lot
considering. In fact she is coming to RSF next week and we
are going on holiday together in September.
Norm: Where can our
readers find out more about you?
Monty:

me.
