4. Danna Jo Napoli: Hi, and yes I will
be talking about my book called
Hush – An Irish Princess’ Tale.
5. Reporter: So, I have heard a lot about your
book and I have few questions I would like
to ask you about.
7. The first thing I want to know, is that what
exactly is the book about?
8. Danna Jo Napoli: This book is basically
based on a princess, who comes from
Ireland and is kidnapped by her slave
traders. Her name is Melkorka, she is
fifteen. After she gets kidnapped, all
her family and friends try to find her
and try to get information out of the
guards.
9. Wow that sounds very interesting. Ok so
why have you started the book by
Melkorka and her younger sister, shopping
in Dublin with her family? I mean why not
introducing the character first and then
getting to the point?
10. Danna Jo Napoli: That is a really good
question. Well you see usually novels start
off by the introduction but i thought I
should have started it with a change, and
start with an event. Another reason is so
the readers won’t skip some pages, or
become bored, because readers usually
enjoy when you finally get to the point and
start off straight away.
14. Danna Jo Napoli: Well after getting
kidnapped she was brought to
another country which she didn’t
know about. And because she was a
15 YEAR old princess no one really
knew her and just took her as a
normal citizen.
15. Reporter: Wait, if she was brought to a
country which she had no idea about
how did she have connections with her
family and how must have she survive?
16. Danna Jo Napoli: She didn’t have any
connections with her family or
friends. And he had no one who to
help her survive all by herself but this
young aged boy who she found in the
streets. But after a while the boy left
the princess.
19. Reporter: Well thanks for coming; we
really enjoyed having you here. All of the
viewers should dash to the store grab this
book have a read and we assure you that
you will enjoy! You never know what
surprises you will come across in the
book so just give it a go and thanks for
listening.
20. Danna Jo Napoli: Bye I had a great
time and I hope we see each other
again.
