Author Interview - Itamar S.N.
Author of White Smoke
White Smoke is, above all, a love story. A love between two men, patriotic love for one's country, and the primary love for all humans. I believe that it doesn't matter whether it's women's rights, LGBTQ rights, or minorities' rights. In the end, it all comes down to fundamental human rights, as we were all born naked, free, and equal.

The moment I knew I wanted to become an author: There is not one pivotal moment. It goes back as far as my memories take me. It took 28 years to feel rich enough from within to evolve from poems and short stories to create a complex new world with multiple characters and plots. To write my first book.
