Interview With Author Punarnava Sheel

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I have written many stories but this is the first book that I published

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The name of the book is Secrets in the shadows. I just had one scene in mind of a brother and sister being extremely loyal to each other even if they are not full blood siblings. The rest of the story planned out from that.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Writing a story takes ME on a journey as much as it does for the reader because even I don’t know how the story will end until I have written the final word.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
I think Khaled Hosseini has the most influence on me as author because I like the way he ends his stories.

What are you working on now?
I am working on a fantasy novel this time. A young girl’s parents were murdered along with the whole town – the girl was the only survivor. The story is her journey of her wishing for vengeance while facing the struggles of growing up.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Usually, I just make posts on instagram and threads

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Just write what you want and don’t worry about how it’ll be received.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Publish whatever you want – it’s your hardwork

What are you reading now?
I am reading The Housemaid by Friday McFadden

What’s next for you as a writer?
Hopefully, publishing more books and better sales!

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?
I would bring Harry Potter – the complete series….and maybe a book on how to survive?
