Hi all

Just wanted to say hello and introduce myself. I am an author and avid reader. As an author I write a light-hearted crime series set in India, for fans of The No.1 Ladies Detective Agency series. The first book in my series The Unexpected Inheritance of Inspector Chopra is a Times Saturday bestseller, Waterstones Book Club selection and Amazon Best Debut pick. This 2015 hit introduces readers to Inspector Ashwin Chopra of the Mumbai police as he moves through the turbulent, colourful fabric of modern Indian society in search of a murderer, whilst simultaneously coming to grips with the surreal dilemma of caring for a one-year-old baby elephant that has been sent into his care. “Endearing and gripping” ~ The Sunday Times; “Colour and atmosphere flows out of every page” ~ The Daily Express; “Utterly charming” ~ The Guardian

The Unexpected Inheritance of Inspector Chopra

Ive been writing all summer - busy working on the third in the series - but managing to read a lot too. Lot of domestic noir - most of which, sadly, isn't that good. But I just read the one that started it all - Gone Girl - and thought it was terrific. So definitely a recommend from me.

I am a pig-headed 'Type-Two' personality.
Last time I had a tryst with my creative side, a storyteller in me, was when I was in college. And then, Engineering happened, Job happened, life happened,
More honestly Money happened.
It's been eight years now.
And then those stories which used to scream in my head got subjugated with the time.
Only to be left as some squiggling in my notepad, and the rest in my head, gradually dying a slow death.

But then, marriage happened, and someone came in my life, and accidently saw me talking to myself.
And unfortunately, instead of crushing those stories in my head, she encouraged it.
And here I am now, after three years of doodling and eight months of serious writing, with my first fiction novel, Money Man (Part -1).
I know, some of you will be appalled, and some of you will be amazed, in equal measures.
But honestly, I am done keeping things just within my head.

My first novel is about Money and how money controls our life. In fact, how it restrained me from following my heart.
I didn't send it to any Indian publisher, because money is a global greed, and it has been written in a language, keeping an International audience in mind. Keeping people from all walks of life in mind, the people who were my clients, my employers, my friends, people who were part of my life, and people who with time just remained as my "Facebook friend." This book might give you a peek into how things are actually working around us. A peep into why people hate an establishment, why people want an 'outsider' to rule them? Why Narendra Modi won Indian election, and why Donald Trump won the election in the US?

Hi group,

I'm excited to finally be able to call myself an author. As of today I have just published my first novel: a contemporary romance called Mended. Mended is the first book in my Sweet Home Dixie Series.

Here is my book's blurb:

Four years after her husband’s tragic and traumatic end, Ashley remains heartbroken and yearning for the man who left her behind. Desperate for healing and to break her teenage son’s newfound cycle of crime, she leaves the city for a small, sleepy town in southern Alabama hoping for a fresh start. There, she finds Wade, the charming, ever-genuine contractor who’s more than she bargained for.

Plagued by guilt when his younger brother goes to prison, Wade is consumed by his brother’s bleak future and his own personal demons.
There’s no room for love and happiness in his world. That is, until the beautiful widow with sad eyes and a troubled teenage son moves to town.

If only her heart didn’t belong to her past.
If only his past didn’t torment him.

One great love can transform their lives.
They need only to open their hearts.

Witty and heartfelt with just enough suspense and sizzle,
Mended is a story of hope amongst tragedy and the amazing ability of love to heal the deepest of wounds.


If you're interested in finding out more, please visit my website: http://www.kaylamariebooks.com/

You can find Mended on Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/Mended-Sweet-H...

Feel free to message me and visit my Author profile! I'd love to talk with you.

I'll be looking for honest reviewers in exchange for a free copy of Mended soon!

Congratulations Kyla, a debut author a great achievement. I know, I only recently published as well. Some hard work still ahead of you with all the marketing, etc but it can be very rewarding... so just believe in yourself and the book. Love the book photo on your website - very attention grabbing!

All the best
Marisa - www.marisaparkerauthor.com

Congratulations! I look forward to reading your book.

Thanks Marissa! Marketing and getting noticed is turning out to be a full time job! And I already have one of those. I really want to start writing the next book in the series because that's the part I love the most. Hopefully eventually I will find a groove that works and somehow I'll find the time. I keep telling myself that if I managed to write one book, I can write another, right? Easier said than done I'm sure. Thanks for your kind words and for checking out my website!

Thanks Kristi! I hope you enjoy Mended!
