I adore your books! I feel as if I am a neighbor and friend of your sweet and strong characters. Your stories, enchant me with the depth of characters. I will eagerly await your next story! Not a question I realize?

Alka Joshi It’s so rewarding to hear this kind of comments from readers. I love these characters, the good and bad in them, as much as I love my own family. It’s as if they came alive in my imagination at the age of 50 but they had always been there, dormant, waiting for me to recognize them. I hope you’ve had a chance to read the second book in the series, THE SECRET KEEPER OF JAIPUR. I am currently writing the third book in the trilogy in Paris! Because it takes place both in Paris and in India. Can’t wait to share that one with you and the world. Thanks so much for your lovely comment :-)

Montserrat Bouvier asked Alka Joshi:

Hi Alka! Was so looking forward to your third book of the trilogy and it did not disappoint at all! Read it in less than 24 hours, just couldn't put it down. The recipes at the end where a great surprise bonus. I also just wanted to bring to your attention two small errors in the french used? "à ton santé aussi" should be "à ta santé aussi" and "c'est la comble" should be "c'est le comble" Thank you!

Pat Getz asked Alka Joshi:

Hi Alka, I was at the Authors on the Move in Sacramento last night. I did not realize until too late that you were there. I regret that I was not able to come up and meet you in person. I have read the Henna Artist and the Secret Keeper of Jaipur and can't wait for your third book to come out this month. Will you be at any book signings or other events in or near Sacramento?

Cathryn Wellner asked Alka Joshi:

I just reviewed your debut novel and want to thank you. I devour books like popcorn. Many of them are excellent. Others are just OK. Rarely do I come to the end of the book and sigh with regret that I must leave the characters I have come to love. Thank you for an extraordinary book that left me wanting more. What is your next book?
