Interview With Author Ray Sandhu
Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am Ray Sandhu. Every writer breathes in their imagination, so do I. A phenomenal storyteller who has chosen my imagination to turn my vision of what a story can be into reality through novels and books to represent my tremendous talent that most people, prized to read. I have always been fond of tales I used to hear in my childhood from my grandparents. When the tales used to conclude, my curiosity used to arise about what would happen next, and this led me to create the stories afterward.
Later, in my early teenage years, I never really was interested in any other study than English literature in which I used to stick to different lessons, always understood the central idea of the chapter, and answered all the questions without even giving that chapter another glance. With the teacher’s each sentence, I used to imagine each and every scene of that particular story.
After going through several jobs and professions, I realized that my actual talent was none other than writing stories. This happened when I lost my father when I was just twenty years old. My father’s demise has broken me emotionally and practically, that I was not able to see any hope of proceeding in my life further. Being the only son, I tried several workings in my life and got a little successful but was still not satisfied with the professions I was in, I did not get that joy spot in there.
This was the turning point of my life. The heartbroken me of my Father’s departure finally started getting a light of doing something extraordinary in my life through my writing. Then I wrote different short stories, further used to tell my friends and the majority of people interested. My friends used to freak out and really loved the way I told the stories, especially the horror ones. I finally chose it as a lifetime career and got ready to reach out this time to the whole world to entertain through my novels and stories.
This novel “Mystery & Horror: of Dead lady, Ghosts and The Witches in Mitilyn.” is one of the finest works of mine. In this book, you would witness the suspense in each chapter way more than the previous. All the characters in the story are fictional, not real. They are just for entertainment. So, enjoy this fabulous scary tale and experience one of the most suspenseful thrillers in history. Further, I am coming with a lot of brilliant novels and thrillers. My vision is to create history through novels, books, and movies in my lifetime. So, stay tuned. Let’s do this together.

It’s a title that draws readers in and promises an immersive journey into the world of Mitilyn and its mysterious past.

With belief in oneself and dedication to one’s goals, there are truly no limits to what can be accomplished. It’s a reminder to embrace creativity, dream big, and persevere in pursuit of our aspirations.

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?
On a deserted island, I would bring along two non-fiction books and two fiction books. For fiction, I’d choose my own novels and Dennis Lehane’s “Shutter Island.” As for non-fiction, I’d opt for “Heal Your Life” by Louise Hay and “The Power of Your Subconscious Mind” by Dr. Joseph Murphy.
