Interview With Author Katherine Nandita
Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am Katherine Nandita, an internationally published author writing in English, Spanish, and Japanese. My stories explore love, loss, betrayal, courage, and resilience—through memoirs, multiverse horror, and heartfelt fiction. So far, I have published several books including I Am Not a Prostitute: Diary of a Single Mother, She: Who Walks Between Timelines, Anna: The Girl Between Two Worlds, The Last Train: A Love Story Lost in Time, and Phool and the Girl With No Name – A Living Tale from the Shadows of a Forbidden Colony.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is Phool and the Girl With No Name -A Living Tale from the Shadows of a Forbidden Colony . It was born from wounds too deep for silence—the stories we pretend not to see. At the heart of it is a ten-year-old girl, sold into a brothel, her childhood stolen before she even knew what it meant to dream. This book rises from the ashes of that brutality—human trafficking, child prostitution, the unforgivable erasure of innocence. Through Phool, I wanted to give flesh and breath to the cries society buries. Her voice is raw, her pain unfiltered, but within her, there is also a spark of defiance that refuses to die.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Yes, I often write late at night with pen and paper first, instead of typing directly. Handwriting allows emotions to flow more naturally before I transfer them into digital form. I also imagine every scene like a movie—cinematic in detail, with atmosphere and emotion.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I have been deeply moved by authors who explore the human condition in raw, emotional ways—writers like Khaled Hosseini, Toni Morrison, and Paulo Coelho. Their ability to capture both pain and hope inspires me to bring authenticity to my own work.
What are you working on now?
I am currently working on a paranormal mystery novel in English. It’s a haunting story blending love, memory, and the unknown.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I use Amazon Author Central, Goodreads, LibraryThing, AllAuthor, and Medium to connect with readers. I also run my Substack newsletter where I share chapters, reflections, and behind-the-scenes thoughts about my stories.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Write fearlessly and honestly. Don’t chase trends—write what feels true to your soul. Even if your journey is slow, your authentic voice will eventually find its readers.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
“Your story matters—even if the world tries to silence you.”
What are you reading now?
Right now, I’m revisiting classics of literature while also exploring contemporary fiction that focuses on resilience and survival.
What’s next for you as a writer?
I want to keep publishing stories across languages and reach a global audience. I also hope to continue supporting women and children in need through my writing proceeds.
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?
The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini.
Beloved by Toni Morrison.
The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho.
And my own memoir I Am Not a Prostitute: Diary of a Single Mother, to remind myself of my journey.
