Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m Rekha Hindwar, and I hails from Uttar Pradesh, India. If you will ask me to define myself in a word, I’ll say, I’m a day-dreamer. I often love to lose in my own imaginary world and feel myself in the place of protagonist. Sometimes I cried also, during going through the story.
Though I have five stories in my mind, like – “Spark”, “Soul Hacker”, “Human birth”, “The Third World War” and “To the another World”, but I wrote only one book yet, that’s – “The Autograph”.
You’ll be surprised to know that though I write a story in the whole book, I can’t read if a book contains a single story. The only Novel I read yet is – “Can love Happen twice”.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book which is my very first book also is – “The Autograph”. It inspired through the thought of mine what if a famous young cricketer fall in love with a beautiful slum girl who is having an attitude like a high-value girl.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Yeah, when I get upset with someone and can’t say something to them on the face, then I write down it on paper with putting all my emotions into it and deliver to them.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
The authors which influenced me are Premchand, Ravinder Singh and Chetan Bhagat. I love the way Premchand writes, he uses the simplest language to tell a story. I read Ravinder’s Can love happen twice he has shown an excellent way to deliver his complex thoughts into the paper. I didn’t read the books of Chetan Bhagat but watched movies on his books, and found the contents were excellent, in terms of suspense, comic and message which he wants to deliver.
What are you working on now?
I’m working on my 2nd Drama novel – “Spark”. This story revolves around four tomboys who ran off from their home and meets in Mumbai. They get shelter at the home of a Fashion Designer. Punya, one of among four tomboys, has an amazing voice, but she has a stage phobia. So how she gets rid of her stage phobia, it’s what story tells. It also contains a lot of comedy elements nearly in all paragraphs.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I promote my books through social media, free promotion sites like you and if needs sometimes paid also.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
I don’t think I have earned this opportunity yet to advice new authors as I, myself is a new author.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Don’t say, just do it.
What are you reading now?
I’m reading now the book – “Go kiss the world” by Subroto Bagchi.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Next, I’m so excited to hear from my readers about my very first book – “The Autograph”.
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?
Five points someone, One night at a call center, and Namak ka Daaroga.
