Emotobooks: The Fusion of Written Fiction and Expressionism

by: Ron Gavalik


Thank you to Cassandra for allowing me to guest post.

As a writer and publisher, it’s always been a goal to bridge the gap between the cerebral gratifications of well-plotted fiction writing and the visual stimulation of illustrative art. The one day I had a mini-epiphany. Insert expressive, emotionally representative imagery in written stories, during moments of emotional consequence. By delivering a visual of what a character feels, the reader becomes more intensely immersed in the story.

Emotobooks are written fiction stories, not comics or graphic novels. The few emotional abstract images woven in the stories are the dream-like visuals each of us experience in the middle of the night.

The term Emotobook is a portmanteau word I conjured as a memorable label for the very first fiction medium for smartphones and tablets. For the first time, readers can now see actual representation of character emotions right on the page for a fun, interactive experience.

Latest in Blog Visiting This Past August 2012

1. Experiments in Manga blog: Ash @ Experiments in Manga celebrates 2 years of consistent blogging where he writes manga and anime reviews and spreads good information about any of your anime and or manga needs.
Ash is a very talented reviewer and recommend you become familiar with his blog.

Ash also shares his August 13-August 19, 2012 Week in Manga. Of the many reviews on The Week in Manga : August 12-August 19, 2012, The Monkey King, Volume 1-2 by Tatsuya Terada seems particularly of interest but it's good idea to read the Chinese classic Journey to the West he recommends. In Anime, there is This Boy Can Fight Aliens directed by Soubi Yamamoto that is an unusual anime. It's also surreal and has some comedic aspects. Looks pretty good and might yet watch!
On Finding Manga: Right Stuff you can learn new tips of how to take advantage of one of America's largest anime and manga specific retailers out there with great savings. If you happen to not know anything about RightStuff.com then it's a good time to get to know it.

The Giveaway!
Enchanted by Rachel Wells

Mandy is a quiet teenager who just wants to blend in with the crowd rather than stand out as anything or anybody. Mandy's pretty successful at this until her parents decide it's time to move from Boston to the quiet seaside town of York Beach, Maine, to "be closer to Nana". Although Mandy has been vacationing in York every summer since she was a child, she has no desire to live there and is worried about fitting in and finding friends during her senior year of high school.


Nana owns a flower shop in town and while working alongside her, Mandy makes a few friends and observes the oddities of the little town and its inhabitants. When she finds some old and cryptic correspondance hidden inside an antique trunk handed down from her Nana, the "oddities" turn into full fledged mysteries. As she unravels the forgotten and hidden history of the town, she simultaneously unravels her own family's past and current secrets while writing her future. With bits of romance and paranormal along the way, she is able to figure out the puzzle of the correspondance, the magic she never realized was surrounding her, and visions of the past and future. Will she walk away from her personal history and her future or will she realize it's ok to be somebody, even if that somebody is nothing like everybody else?
