Thank you for letting me know that you are enjoying the book. Happy that you found it entertaining.
I am working on the second book. Might take a year or more for it to be ready. Let's see if I can make it as entertaining as the first one.

Still working on the second book. I still have to see how it turns out and will settle on an appropriate title after that. Like the first one, the narration style would be unique and it will have a compelling storyline.

I believe it is one of the most fulfilling creative professions one can be in.

Since I self-published my book, I am right now trying to engage potential readers and get them interested to read my book. But I write whenever there is a story inside me hollering to get out. I have a set of short stories (yet unpublished) and a second novel is pending editing from a long time.

An aspiring writer will have to first find a story that he/she really wants to tell. That has to be the underlying motivation. That is the only thing which will enable the writer to start and even complete a novel when all the glamour associated with writing goes away and he is staring at this sheet with white space which he has to fill with black letters.

My mom developed in me a habit to read and appreciate good English writing. She made sure that there was always something I could read at home. It started out with Tinkle and Amar Chitra Katha, went on to Reader’s Digest and Young Adult novels like Hardy Boys, (and eventually to the Sidney Sheldons and Jeffrey Archers). With my Mom’s guidance, I won prizes in school for writing – and they were the only prizes that I won in school. My love for the English language and writing stuck with me through Engineering and Grad School and what you see in the book is the result of this illicit love affair (as defined by my wife) with English and writing.

I was catching up on some of the bestsellers by Indian authors a few years back. I then realized that I had a story to tell which was much more interesting and entertaining than a lot of novels that were out there.
