After publishing 9 nonfiction books, it was about time...Many people had told me that it is much more difficult to write a fiction novel, compared to nonfiction books, so I wanted to take up the challenge. And yes, they were absolutely right - it was 'a task' more than 'the usual'.

Yes it was Sahil, as I wanted to portray an ALTERNATE REALITY of "what could have happened" in regional geopolitics had the events in my novel actually taken place

Choosing the title USAma was quite simple. I just changed the word OSAMA (bin Laden) to USAma. I don't know whether USA conspired in the spread of terrorism, but they did make several dozens of mistakes in their foreign policy over the years which indirectly led to the spread of terrorism.

Readers' reviews - whether praise or critical, is what motivates me the most to write more. Though I have written 10 books, I am not happy with two of them and in retrospect I feel I should have taken more time to complete them. I am not moving at the same pace any more, especially as it took me eight months to write my first fiction novel, SPIES, LIES & RED TAPE.

You have asked a very important questions. It is my view that a lot of things about Indian history have been twisted to make us believe what the Congress party and the Nehru-Gandhi family wanted us to believe. Therefore, it is very important for all Indians, and especially the youth, to know the truth.

I've been writing since the age of nine. The thing that inspires me most is when people tell me they've read a book and liked it; especially when they start discussing (sometimes arguing) what I've written.

Make sure that you have the synopsis written out for yourself. Then ensure you have divided the intended book into chapters. Then JUST GO FOR IT.

You get to read and learn so much. I have learned more things in the past 16 months than I learned in the 50 years prior.

Fortunately, I have not experienced writer's block (YET), as I've only written non-fiction books. However, as I'm now beginning my tenth book - which is the first Fiction book, I will probably experience it for the first time.
