Hello! I just bought your new book, Six Days in Bombay, and once I am done with the 2 books I am reading, yours will be next in line and I am soooooooo excited because your books never disappoint!!! <3?

Hi Milly! I’m delighted you love my books :-) Early readers of SIX DAYS IN BOMBAY tell me it’s like traveling throughout Europe and walking the streets of old Bombay without leaving the comfort of their cozy armchair. To research the time period and the settings of Prague, Paris, Florence and London, I traveled to all those places and interviewed historians, academic scholars, and art experts and learned all kinds of lovely details I wouldn’t have found in history books. It’s what makes writing fun and readers like you wanting more :-) Alka xo

I was SO excited to see the Perfumist of Paris! It may be my favorite so far. Thank you SO MUCH for the huge gift in allowing us to live inside their lives. It moved me deeply to witness your treatment of Hari. It seems easy to find villains in the world, and much more difficult for the villains to be redeemed. I hope you have plans for many more stories for these characters. What comes next?

I absolutely loved reading this (as I did your other books). I also love that you give some insight at the end. So I had to look up what a perfume organ looked like and found out that LilaNur parfums came out with a discovery set called The Perfumist of Paris. I can't order it, since I'm not in the US but it made the book more than come alive for me. Thank you for writing this for us?
