2015 ad-set

When did you first WANT to write a book?

I first remember wanting to write a book when I was 7 years old.

When did you take a step to start writing?

I have always written, since my first introduction to creative writing as a child. While still at school, I wrote poetry. While at University the poetry took on a new addition of verse in the form of songwriting. Short stories and film scripts then ensued and finally, once I was settled into full-time work, books started to appear.

How long did it take you to complete your first book from the first idea to release?

My first book took 5 months to write, but it wasn’t published until around 14 years after it was written, as I hadn’t thought about publishing it till then.

How long did it take you to complete your latest book from the first idea to release?

My latest book, The Book of Gems, took 2.5 years to write. It was conceptualized 12 years before I started to write it. It is being published on 12th June 2025, which is 16 years from when it was first conceptualized.

Focusing on your latest release. What made you want to write The Book Of Gems?

The Book of Gems is the sequel to my previous book, The Book of Stamps, but is also a standalone book. The Book of Stamps needed a sequel, which is how The Book of Gems came about. People who read The Book of Stamps all ask for a sequel, so I had to write one, but also wished to write one 😊

What were your biggest challenges with writing The Book Of Gems?

I work full time, so finding time to write it was a challenge.

Who or what inspired you when creating your Protagonist?

‘The Book of…’ series started because I wanted to make a birthday present for my sister. I had intended on writing a short story, but it turned into a book. Although the protagonist in the story is not based on my sister, I guess my inspiration to write the story was because of my sister.

Who or what inspired you when creating your Antagonist?

I actually don’t know where the antagonist came from – he just appeared from somewhere unexpectedly.

What is the inciting incident of The Book Of Gems?

There are several – some good, some not good. If I was to disclose a main inciting incident, I would be revealing an unforgiveable spoiler, so I will, instead, mention another one. The main character’s father is thinking of sourcing a suitor for his daughter, so he employs the help of a powerful, psychic lady. This changes the course of the main character’s life very unexpectedly.

What is the main conflict of The Book Of Gems?

The main conflict in the book relates to the fight between good and evil.

Did you plot The Book Of Gems in advance, or fly by the seat of your pants and write freely?

I tried to plot the book beforehand, but the book was having none of it, so the book got its own way in the end 😊

Did you get support with editing, and how much editing did The Book Of Gems need?

The book did not need much editing – just a few grammar and punctuation tweaks. A proofreader was involved, but I carried out most of the proofreading myself.

What is the first piece of writing advice you would give to anyone inspired to write a story?

Go ahead and write it.

Can you give me a hint about any further books you’re planning to write?

I am planning to write a book called The Journey. This will be a magical, fantasy book.

And, finally, are your proud of your accomplishment? Was it worth the effort?

Writing books is far more intensive than I could have imagined – particularly the proofreading. When I get my strength back, I’ll feel proud of the accomplishment 😊

10 thought on “Author Interviews – Vidya Math – The Book Of Gems”
  1. AAS inhibit the body’s physiologic endogenous testosterone synthesis,
    and chronic ASA also has antagonistic results on a
    quantity of organ systems(10). Adverse effects in males embrace sexual dysfunction, cardiovascular disease, endocrine abnormalities, psychiatric dysfunction, and hepatotoxicity(11–13).
    Impacts on sexual function include testicular atrophy, decreased sperm depend, impotence, and infertility(14).
    Currently, each the American Urological Affiliation and the Endocrine Society
    suggest towards testosterone therapy in males who want to preserve their fertility(15,16).
    To the most effective of our data, that is the primary study
    examining risk components for relapse of AAS use amongst men with infertility.

    Once steroids are stopped, the physique begins to get back on monitor
    to producing its own hormones again, but this recovery can take a
    while. First, a lot of the included research were
    observational, which makes it difficult to establish
    causation definitively. The AAS use was unregulated
    and unsupervised AAS use and topics in some research resorted to polypharmacy.

    Male fertility and anabolic steroids kind an advanced bond, to the detriment of reproductive health.
    Steroids—especially those that promote the event of muscles—decrease the manufacturing of
    sperm, thus inhibiting male fertility. So it’s important to understand these effects if you’re
    thinking about using steroids. This was addressed by Christou et al.
    wherein the effect of testosterone-containing routine and regimen without testosterone was analysed individually.
    Such subgroup analysis was not attainable in our
    meta-analysis as interventional studies with sole brokers had been scant in our review.

    As such, it appears affordable to conclude that an absolute excess of estrogenic motion causes the development of gynecomastia throughout AAS use,
    regardless of its relative action in contrast with androgens.

    It appears applicable to manage dyslipidemia in (long-term) AAS
    users according to current tips (151) just as in any other
    patient. Danger estimation using algorithms corresponding to SCORE2 would
    possibly underestimate threat because certain side effects of AAS
    use, such as the detrimental modifications to cardiac structure and performance they elicit, could act as threat modifiers.
    Echocardiographic proof of such adjustments would possibly therefore aid in ‘grey zone’ threat estimation conditions.
    The use of HDL-cholesterol boosting dietary supplements,
    similar to niacin, may also result in underestimating
    risk when utilizing algorithms based mostly on HDL-cholesterol.
    If pharmacological intervention is indicated, statins are the first-line of remedy to decrease LDL-cholesterol.

    Sperm motility, or the power of sperm to maneuver
    effectively, is important for fertilization. Anabolic steroids can impair this motility, making sperm much less able to touring via the feminine reproductive tract to reach
    and fertilize an egg. Anabolic-androgenic
    steroids (AASs) are sometimes utilized by males for
    bodybuilding and to enhance sports performance. The use isn’t restricted to skilled aggressive
    athletes, however many newbie males. Finasteride decreases male hormone (androgen) signalling and this is known to target mainly
    the prostate gland and the scalp. Nonetheless, it also acts
    in male reproductive tissues such as testes and seminal vesicles.

    We have aimed to incorporate all knowledge whereby information about human topics can be found,
    together with the case reports. Moreover, this text additionally presents meta-analysis of reproductive hormones, semen parameters and testis measurement.
    The drugs in question are anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS), synthetic derivatives of testosterone which are primarily utilized by fitness center aficionados to increase muscle
    mass and procure a muscular physique. Healthcare suppliers prescribe them for sure situations,
    similar to male hypogonadism and sure types of breast cancer.
    Other remarkable findings in our examine included the high fee of irregular semen findings
    (79%), the significant delay in spontaneous restoration in the untreated
    group, and the considerable percentage of sufferers
    presenting with infertility. Being conscious of the potential results of
    anabolic steroids on your body could make a
    significant distinction.
    Not only can testicular cancer turn out to be a
    deadly problem and require plenty of therapy to cure, however if you
    do go into remission, the effects cancer has had in your testicles could make you
    infertile. With a lower sperm depend, it signifies that when trying to conceive, you could have much less
    likelihood of getting a single sperm fertilize an egg.
    However, in fact, if the quality of your sperm continues to
    be good, then all hope isn’t misplaced in case your rely is low.
    Individuals normally take steroids with different substances – relying
    on what aim they wish to attain.
    AAS can inhibit the discharge of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH),
    follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and luteinizing hormone (LH), which are crucial for correct reproductive
    perform. As a outcome, the disruption of the HPG axis can lead
    to impaired sperm production in males and menstrual irregularities in females,
    in the end affecting fertility. Long-term use of Anavar can also lead to liver harm, which may impact its capacity to metabolize hormones like estrogen and testosterone.
    Nonetheless, by growing the concentration of testosterone in the blood with injections of anabolic steroids,
    there is a steady blockage of sperm manufacturing, resulting in a state of affairs of azoospermia.
