She leaned back in her chair, shaking out her tired fingers as she re-read the closing sentence and breathed a sigh of relief at the thought of finally finishing her novel. She clicked the little 'x' ready to email it off to her editor when she realized she forgot to press save.

Such a tough question! Right now (Since I am currently reading The Order of The Pheonix) I would have to say Hogwarts. But ask me again in a few weeks and I may say something different :)

Probably one of the hardest questions for me to answer. At this precise moment in time its Augustus and January from Beach Read.

I don't. I suffer from writer's block greatly. I think it comes to you when its supposed to though. Its more like uncovering a mystery than creating a plot. Sometimes you struggle for weeks looking for a tiny clue, others you see clues and truths unfold before your eyes so clearly. It can't be forced. If you feel like writing but can't find the words, take a step back- go for a walk. read a book. have a glass of wine. Sometimes its the situation. How can we expect to find an interesting story to write about if we haven't experienced anything to inspire the story as yet?

The best thing about being a reader is the ability to come out the other end of a novel looking at the world a little differently. So the best thing about being a writer is the ability to be a part of the process that takes people on a journey with your characters and hopefully makes them see the world a little differently after they finish the last page.

Not to get too tied down in a subject matter or even a single story. Turn off the rest of the world and just write, when you're upset or angry, let writing heal you, regardless of what you write. You can edit and fine tune later.

A Young Adult Contemporary romance that is very close to my heart. I have been working on it for years now and it took a back seat while I wrote and published my children's picture books and wedding planners but I hope to finally finish it this year.

Reading a great book or story. Reading other people's stories and escaping into the world of another novel inspires me to delve back into the one I created.

I was the only brown kid in my class and I know even now, growing up in a western country often means that we are too brown to belong here, but too white to belong in south asia too. We third culture folk are stuck in between two cultures, never quite fitting in anywhere. Desi Girl in a Gora World tells the story of a girl who learns to celebrate her two cultures, rather than trying to fit into either one fully.
