Interview With Author Aman Gupta
Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m a finance professional turned author, driven by a deep interest in the psychological layers of human behaviour. My debut novel, The Unsold Games: When You Are the Game, is a psychological thriller that delves into themes of childhood trauma, guilt, and buried truths. I’ve always been fascinated by the hidden motives that shape our actions, and writing allows me to explore those complexities through fiction.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest (and debut) book is called The Unsold Games: When You Are the Game. It’s a psychological thriller that was inspired by a simple but haunting thought: What happens when a child walks into a toy store full of promises… and never walks out the same again? I’ve always been drawn to the unexplored emotional aftermath of seemingly ordinary events — the kind that hides pain behind silence. This story grew from my curiosity about childhood experiences, buried emotions, and the thin line between grief and revenge.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Not as such.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I often draw from my personal experiences and my deep interest in human behaviour — especially the unspoken emotions people carry. Sometimes, I’ll find myself observing people’s expressions or recalling past moments just to understand how a certain character might react. I also tend to write late at night, when the world is quiet but my thoughts are loud. That silence helps me dive into the psychological layers of my stories. Besides I liked the The Silent Patient and The Housemaid.
What are you working on now?
I’m currently planning two new books. One is a gripping narrative titled Interview with a Terrorist, exploring the complex psyche behind acts of violence and the human stories within. The other follows AZGHAR, a mysterious time traveller whose journey explores the challenges of identity, destiny, and the impact of choices across different eras. I don’t want to limit myself to thrillers.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I am still new and learning.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Since I’m new myself, the best advice I can offer is to trust yourself and believe in the story you’re writing. Every writer’s journey starts with that leap of faith — embracing your unique voice and trusting that your story deserves to be told.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Write a Novel by my Manager.
What are you reading now?
I am Studying SQL and POWER BI now.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Planning to write something which can be converted into a Motion Picture or a Series.
If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
If I were stranded on a desert island, I’d prefer to carry my laptop so I could write. Depending on how much time I have, I’d try to work on two or three novels while there — turning solitude into creativity.
