G/day from Brisbane,
We have our first Goan writer in Brisbane Maffy Vaz. A brief account about
her book from Maffy below .
Dr Joy de Souza, Club de Goa.
Maffy Vaz, a member of our Club de Goa fraternity in Brisbane, has just
published her first novel.
'Tricked into Being' is now in circulation on most international websites.
Maffy lives with her husband Sylvester and children Lincoln and Fabiola in
Greater Brisbane. Her and her family's roots are unquestionably Goan.
'We spent family school holidays in Goa. During these holidays, both my
grandmothers-Maria and Mary, used to tell me stories which drew me closer to
them-just to listen to what they had to say,' she says.
'Some were fictional, and some were so called "true stories". Sometimes, my
mother would join in telling more stories. And I have always been fond of
reading,' she adds.
Maffy always knew she'd be on the other side of a book someday. The older
women in her family encouraged her reading habit and told her their own
stories. The passion in those stories empowers her to surrender to her own
imagination and create a make-believe world.
'Tricked into Being' is a completely fictional piece. Of course, there are
historical aspects included that help advance the narrative,' she says
enthusiastically.
'Of course, like any novel one sets to write, this one also involved plenty
of research. Trying to remember all those bygone tales I heard from the
three women in my family was nostalgic. I had a wonderful time doing it all.
It took several years for me finally to get it out there,' says Maffy,
satisfied with the outcome.
Here is the link to her first novel on Amazon Australia (it's available in
all countries on Amazon) where you can also read the blurb:
