Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Hi, thanks Awesome Gang for giving me this opportunity. I am an indie author. I write romance with a slight difference. I combine social issues with hot romances. Nothing like spice that makes a person sit up and notice 🙂 As a reader, I have always loved romances – so how could I not write them. I have written 3 novels, 3 anthologies, 1 short story
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is called Lolita. I had seen an interview of an actress, who had a scandalous background of course and got inspired by her story. Lolita is the first book of a series, the bad girl series. They are NOT erotica. But I am fighting against a thought process that says a girl is defined by her profession or by her clothes. We are always much more than that.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Very erratic. As and when the mood takes me. I try to discipline by doing a 9 am to 2pm job, but I have still not mastered the art of discipline.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Nora Roberts, Sidney Sheldon, Harrold Robbins, Penny Jordon
What are you working on now?
I am working on two novellas. Homecoming, a romance (hot romance) and on the love story of Cupid and Psyche. Both are July release.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I do a lot of social media promotion. My website is www.rubinaramesh.com
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Don’t wait for your muse to knock on your door. That is escapism. You are just afraid to face your readers. Criticism is good. Make it your room for learning and growing.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Tootsie on the chair – hands on Keyboard – Nora Roberts
What are you reading now?
The Trouble with Being Wicked (The Naughty Girls Book 1)
Emma Locke
What’s next for you as a writer?
A mythological fiction saga
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?
Sidney Sheldon.. we have a special relationship. Only he never knew about it 😀
