What inspired you to write exit to morvana?

A: It started out as a book about our socioeconomic problems on this planet. But then I began to think that such a book would be both depressing and boring. This was 1997, and I had an hour and a half commute to and from the neighboring town I was working in. I had to pass by a lake where I had a UFO experience in 1989. I began to wonder what beings from another planet would think of us, and the way we treat one another. From then on I began making notes and characters in the story began to materialize.

What, if anything, did you learn when writing the book?

A: During the creation of the book I began to realize what was driving the story. It is my deepest wish that one day we will be Morvana. We will be the planet in this universe that finally made it, inspite of all the upheavals we’ve been through. We are at a crossroads in our history. We have all the potential to succeed, but it is up to us to chose the right path.

What does the title mean?

A: Exit to Morvana represents a journey to a utopian planet in another galaxy. Most of us in our own world of stress and horrors have had a moment of “where’s the exit door on this planet I want to get off”. The protagonist in the story, Samantha is given the chance to actually leave.
