Thicker Than Water was born out of my long held belief that nobody has the right to judge another. Even if you know what is going on in someone's day to day life , you can't know what is in their mind .Because there is a double tragedy in Thicker Than Water people are pointing fingers and judging. Or misjudging as the case may be.

Reading from an early age gave me so much pleasure . I learned to escape , to gain knowledge , to experience cultures I will never get to visit. As I grew up I brought my love of reading on to the next stage - a passion for creative writing. A little insanity helps the process!

I'm currently writing an outline and researching my tenth book . I love this stage when the characters reveal themselves , little by little.
I'm also doing some promotion on my suspense novel Thicker Than Water which is due for release on 14th October.

Enjoy the creative process.Immerse yourself in your work until it is as good as you can possibly make it. That will give you the confidence to cope with submissions , editing , marketing , promotion and all the other demands associated with publishing your work.

Writing fiction is about the sheer joy of creating a new world and a host of characters outside your own existence. It's an escape . An adventure. And it all happens without having to get dressed up .

When I encountered this problem ,I ate chocolate , went for a walk , then started reading from the beginning of the stalled work. Fresh air and chocolate in combination can work wonders.
