Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am Dr. Chhavi Gandhi. I am a doctor (Clinical Microbiologist and an Infection Control Officer) by profession. I have published one book and in process of writing many more.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The name of my latest book is “The Mess in Her Womb: A couple’s journey through Infertility”. It is inspired my husband and my gruesome journey through multiple rounds of In-vitro ferilitisation and constant failures.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I love writing with calm music (mostly nature sounds) in the background. I also can’t write in public, so I want to be alone in the room when I am in the process.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
“How to fall in love” by Cecelia Ahern and “Godplayer” by Robin Cook.
What are you working on now?
I am working on widening my audience and learning to self-edit my books before I give them for the actual edits.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
awesomegang.com, ebooksunlimited.com, fictionhideaway.com
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Finish that book. We never who we can inspire through our words, and get the book edited really well, never underestimate the power of well-edited book.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Our profession and passion can be two different things. So if we are doctors, doesn’t mean we can’t be the authors as well.
What are you reading now?
I am almost always inclined toward Indie authors and they are the unsung talents of the literary world. So I am currently reading a book by one such author “A Life Unplanned”.
What’s next for you as a writer?
I am writing a medical fiction but would love to keep the project under wraps for now.
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?
Such a difficult question but I’ll take one from each genre:
Romance- Reminders of Him (Colleen Hoover)
Medical fiction- Chromosome 6 (Robin Cook)
Young adult- Secrets of my Hollywood Life (Jen Calonita)
Thriller- The Silence of the Lambs (Thomas Herris)
