#NewRelease The American Outsider the new #Contemporary by Homa Pourasgari @HomaPourasgari #RLFblog #WomensLit
A woman tries to convince the natives in Japan that the brutal slaughter of dolphins is inhumane. The only trouble is she doesn’t speak Japanese.
Homa, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about The American Outsider.
The American Outsider by Homa Pourasgari
Genre Fiction, Adventure, Animal Welfare
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): GTessa Walker is a veterinarian with a strong, emotional connection to animals. As a teen, she witnessed the brutal slaughter of dolphins, and as an adult, she decides to do something about it. She leaves her home in Los Angeles and travels to Japan to speak out for them, but little does she know that she is embarking on an adventure that will change her life forever. From the urban metropolis of Tokyo to the historic Kyoto to the culinary city of Osaka, and the seaside town of Taiji, Tessa is determined to help Japanese activists stand up for her beloved mammals.
Along the way, the friendships and bonds that she builds with people in Japan, and the unconditional love of a stranger named Toshiro, open her eyes to a complicated society of conventions and traditions. Yet, her limited knowledge of the language and customs doesn’t deter her from taking on a dangerous mission that could land her in jail.
Why did you write this book?
I care about all creatures. I had no idea how much dolphins suffered at the hands of fishermen until Ric O’Barry’s documentary The Cove came out. Since then, I have been keeping up with the news on Twitter. And then a few years ago, I was reading a newspaper article about the abuse of dolphins in Taiji. I decided to write about something that mattered. And the plight of dolphins seemed to be the perfect choice. Because not everyone has seen The Cove or even thinks about dolphins. I thought writing about these mammals in fiction will reach a new audience in the same way eBook, print or audio reaches different readers.
What is your favorite genre to read?
I like action and adventure, thriller, mystery, classic fiction, literary fiction, and some regency romance and fantasy.
Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
I don’t really have one favorite character, but here are a few: Aibileen from The Help, Chiyo from Memoires of a Geisha, and Clay Carter from The king of Torts.
What are you working on at the moment?
I’m working on revised editions of my books. I have also started working on a new book.
What books will we see from you in coming months?
Revised Editions of Lemon Curd and The Dawn of Saudi: In search for freedom.
