Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I was born in India and now live in Texas with my family. I write NRI (Non Resident Indian) fiction and non-fiction books. My fiction stories are rooted in Indian tradition and yet very modern. You might see a glimpse of Bollywood in my stories and will definitely enjoy the emotional ride. My non-fiction books focus on leadership skills and my readers get practical take-aways.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is called “Arranged Marriage”. This is book two of Mr. Imperfect series. Most of my fictional stories are contemporary romance, this one is different though. I wanted to explore the subject of how two people get together in a conventionally arranged marriage and what their journey looks like.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I write only when I have my creative juices flowing, which means I don’t write everyday. Sometimes I take a long break after starting a book because I don’t feel inspired enough. When the inspiration comes back, I start writing again.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Overall, I have been inspired by Deepak Chopra and Daniel Goleman. On a day to day basis, I draw my inspiration from various books and authors (no one in particular). There is so much to learn from everyone, whether it is writing style or plotting or book marketing.
What are you working on now?
I am working on my third book in Mr. Imperfect series. This story explores the life of sensuous Maya Sarin, who runs a dance school in the suburb of Dallas. This book will be published by end of 2014.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I find Twitter the best social media site for promoting books.
