Eve Koguce and Neglected Merge
Author Eve Koguce with her novel Neglected Merge and a glass of birch tree sap.
About the Book: “Neglected Merge” is an inspirational thought-provoking futuristic romance novel. The story of fated lovers developed against a backdrop of a new post-apocalyptic world painted in bright tones. A fortuitous meeting of Tauria, an independent woman living in one utopian-style world, and Doron from the high society of the other world, is destined to be the new beginning for both worlds.
Tauria, aged 32, lives in a society that seems to believe that happiness is a universal concept. People, who had survived the near-apocalyptic experience, have built a whole new world full of pleasure and easiness. It is designed to make everyone feel happy every minute of their lives. Work brings satisfaction, hobbies are encouraged, and relationships are supposed to bring out only positive emotions. Does it matter that things that don’t fit into the general happy pattern get discarded and disappear? Things like friendship and commitment. Things like true love. It is supposed to be enough with lightness and never-ending joy.
But there are two worlds now. They are forced to exist side by side. Can they find a way to live together?
The Chinese proverb says: “When the winds of change blow, some people build walls and others build windmills.” What will the people of two worlds, so utterly different and at the same time so similar, choose?
About the Beverage: Eve recommends pairing her novel with birch sap because “it is believed to be a magical drink. It has revitalization powers. But its magic comes from nature. There isn’t any magic in the fantasy world of “Neglected Merge”. The story is about two nations – the Wingless and the Winged Ones – revitalizing the relationship between them.”
About the Author: Eve says, “I’ve been in love with books for as long as I remember myself. The typewriter my first attempts at writing had been made at still sits proudly on its shelf in the basement.
I’d spent fifteen years, trying to fit into the office work pattern. Do you remember Kevin Kline in the “In & Out” movie – “men do not dance”? Well, that used to be my philosophy – real people don’t write books. They work, they build careers, and they travel through the corporate jungle. And despite I was feeling miserable and out of place every day of that climbing-the-ladder process, I managed to build a relatively successful career after an ambitious shift from the private to the public sector. The job I had wasn’t boring. It was actually pretty exciting. I worked with internationally funded projects and met people from all over the world every day. But it failed to ignite a spark in my heart.
After my son was born, I had a unique chance to stop and rethink not only what I’d achieved so far, but what I really want from life. I made a decision to leave my old life behind, and I’ve never regretted it. Changes in my daily routine led naturally to changes in my way of thinking. I finally allowed myself to be who I really was. I had a story to tell, and I finally allowed myself to tell it.”
