Eve has been in love with books for as long as she remembers herself. The typewriter her first attempts at writing had been made at still sits proudly on its shelf in the basement, and when she goes down there, she always has the urge to save it from its exile.Eve has always been writing something. Diaries, letters, poems, short stories. She had even attempted to write a novel a couple of times when she was about thirteen. Still, there was always something more important than her writing. There was always “real life” reminding me of its undeniable claims. “You have to study, you have to work, there is no place for fruitless dreaming,” it whispered. And she moved forward as if running on rails she couldn’t step down from.Eve had 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 her philosophy – real people don’t write books. They work, they build careers, they travel through the corporate jungle. And despite she was feeling miserable and out of place every day of that climbing-the-ladder process, she managed to build a relatively successful career after an ambitious shift from the private to the public sector. The job she had wasn’t boring. It was actually pretty exciting. She worked with internationally funded projects and met people from all over the world every day. But it failed to ignite a spark in her heart. Eve decided to change her career and pursue her writing dream.So far, Eve Koguce has published five books.The Neglected Merge fantasy romance/drama trilogy:- Book 1 “Neglected Merge”- Book 2 “Tangle of Choices”- Book 3 “Shifting Directions”“Neglected Merge” has won several literary awards:- Silver Medal in the 2021 Global Book Awards in the Science Fiction / Fantasy category;- Finalist in the 2021 Readers’ Favorite International Book Award Contest in the Fantasy General category;- Honorable Mention in the 2021 Royal Dragonfly Book Awards in the Science Fiction/Fantasy category.Books set in Latvia:- “Finding Your Way”- “The Accidental Cop”“The Accidental Cop” has won a finalist award in the Pacific Book Awards 2023 contest in the Best Thriller category.Eve would love to connect with her readers and hear their thoughts about her books.Please visit her website: www.evekoguce.comYou can also find Eve on social media:Twitter: @EveKoguceInstagram: @eve_koguce_booksFacebook: Eve Koguce Books
