Goodreads Authors/Readers discussion

Good afternoon to everyone... :)

I know that's a really vague way to entitle a new discussion topic... 'Would you meet a stranger?'... It kinda gives away a different idea... doesn't it?

Well... that's how it goes...

WOULD YOU MEET A STRANGER??? Coz He's coming this May... TO A BOOKSTORE NEAR YOU...

My debut novel... published by Srishti Publishers...When Strangers meet..

I would love to hear your views on the cover etc...

No one is actually a stranger. They're a friend you haven't met yet.

The word "stranger" illicits the idea of odd, weird or dangerous, when in fact the word person or people seem much less intimidating. So as a suspense story it's off to a good start.

As to the cover, it makes me think it might be more geared towards a youthful reader.

Hats off for the wonderful observation... Mr. Jerrett...

The working title for the manuscript was 'A known stranger' which I had to modify later... as there was already another work by a nearly same title... And yes... there's something 'off the track' about 'the Stranger'... But a lot more drama to it before finally streams into a Suspense thriller... Like a typical Bollywood movie...

And I wanted to keep the cover colorful... though the readership wont be restricted to youth... Its on similar lines as FORREST GUMP & PLANES, TRAINS & AUTOMOBILES...
