Writing is a passion, but can be a heart wrenching and lonely task at times. How uplifting it is, therefore, to receive feedback, such as Privy Trifles' comments on RISING OF A DEAD MOON yesterday!!


"The moment I began reading it I was gripped. The narrative so excellent and the detailing brilliant. It did not feel as if a non-Indian had written this book. The amount of research done behind this book is immense and it shows.

Its a commendable feat to write on a culture which is so distinct from yours and that too with so much precision. The author truly deserves accolades for the same!

The story does have a tinge of sadness engulfed in it but the story line is such that it needs to be treated in this manner. And the flow is so full of emotions that you cry with the protagonist and smile with her too. This is possible only when the author has managed to conjure magic with words and with this work he surely has. No doubts it is garnering so much appreciation, good reviews and awards too."
