Sarah Willmann asked Alka Joshi:

Hi alka How are you doing? Hope all is well with you. You might have had many questions about this already but do you have a fave character whether you've written Or someone else's character in a book? And is there anything you can tell us fans about your new book six days in Bombay? From Sarah 😀

Alka Joshi Hi Sarah,
I’m sorry it’s taken me so long to get back to you! I’ve been so busy putting the finishing touches on Six Days in Bombay! And it will be in everyone’s hands on April 15, 2025. My favorite characters in that novel--besides the fearless painter Mira Novak and her night nurse Sona--is Dr. Stoddard. I don’t know where he came from but in his first scene, I saw him with his wild gray hair and his striped flannel pajamas in the hospital, playing backgammon with Sona. When her back was turned, he moved all the pieces around so he could win the game! He is such a mischievous character, but a wise and loveable one! I hope you’ll love him too. Can’t wait to see what you think.
