https://youtu.be/bDlC9m1FDo4

-We have with us Paula Verdes, a young writer who recently published her first book: "The one-way trip". To get our listeners all in the same page, Paula is only seventeen, and her eyes are as beautiful and green as her last name, Verdes, which means green in Spanish as I believe -the announcer introduced-. She started with a blog on the internet and, well, I'm going to let her explain it, because I'm always accused of not letting my guests talk.

-Yes, I started writing a blog to vent after an experience I had with a guy.

-Lovesickness?

-No. More complicated than that. He was special. He was a person I cared about and did not deserve it.

-Lovesick, come on.

-I said no.

-Ok, excuse me. Tell us about how your idea of ​​writing a novel came about.

-Well, it's not really a novel. It's a book of stories. Although they have common themes, they are independent tales.

-And what are the most recurrent themes? -said the announcer with speed, trying to disguise his lack of preparation for the interview.

-From some stories I would like not to say it, because as I have designed them they have ends that try to surprise the reader.

-Can you not tell us about one? Look, I propose something, what do you think if we read the beginning of one of your stories? So that the listeners have an idea of what they can find and we do not reveal anything, we only let them wishing for more.

-It doesn't seem good to me. If the listeners want to read my stories, they should buy the book.

There was some background laughter in the study.

"You're a woman to be reckoned with, -said the announcer with a smile-. I actually advise you to relax those ideas a bit if you want to promote your book.

-I know what to do to promote my book. But, if you like, I propose something better. I'll tell listeners why my book is called "The one-way trip".

-Look, that was going to be my next question. Although I wasn't sure whether to do it or not. Well, why is your book called "A one-way trip"?

-"A one-way trip", no. "The one-way trip".

-I'm sorry, "The one-way trip". Tell us, why?

-That is revealed in the last story of the book, and the listeners will have to buy it and read it to know it.

Other laughs in the studio. The announcer, delighted that his slips were eclipsed by the girl's peculiarity, continued:

-Look, Paula, I have to tell you one thing. I will be the first to buy your book. As you're selling it, I feel so intrigued already.

-I appreciate it, but you can't be the first one. My mother was. I would like to add one thing. "The one-way trip" awaits the readers. It will overwhelm the children. It will impact teenagers. It will move the adults. It is a collection of stories that stir the human soul to excite the most inscrutable and forgotten recesses.

-Well, that's actually the back cover text.

-Yes, isn't it great? I dictated it to my editor.
