The main character JAYA had changed 3 times her name. first i named her Jasmin. Then a year later i liked Santa Sofia (short name) Santa. I kept the name until i worked on the script in L.A where everybody told me to take an other name than Santa (because of Santa Claus). Growing up in Switzerland the name Santa was not as present as we have our Christkindel. So afer searching through the web i found JAYA which means victory which i liked as she has to save 2 worlds. At funny is that there are still the 2 A in the name. 9.Why did you use the technique of fantasy elements? simply because I love fantasy and i think with fantasy you are free to create perfect new worlds and everybody buys it for that, to dive into new exciting worlds and characters. 12.What was the happiest moment of this entire event and why?
Every second of writing is the happiest. When you do what you love there are no sad moments. 13.Who helped contribute to your success and how?

started earlier to write novels. 19.How does this event or issue affect the quality of your life now?

As a good person with a big heart who wants to contribute something valuable to the people before i have to go home. Something that touches there heart, which JAYA will def do. 22.What’s your next project?
