Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I have written a couple books for Amazon and have a couple books for sale on my site.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is about arranged marriages and my culture and tradition inspired the book. I grew up in an arranged marriage culture and am intimately familiar with arranged marriages. I wanted to share my experiences with arranged marriage, talk about story and guide others who are considering an arranged marriage.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
No, particularly. I try to set a word count every day and meet that.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I enjoy reading books by Marianne Williamson, Eckhart Tolle, Neil Donald Walsch and other spiritual authors.
What are you working on now?
I am currently writing Arranged Marriage: Run to the altar or run for your life. My next book is about relationships and breakups.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I have a blog which has been instrumental for getting the word out about my books. The blog is called www.vishnusvirtues.com and I write about relationships, breakups and personal development there.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
You can do it – just start writing. Set a very small word count daily and try to get it done. Tie your writing goals to your life dreams and you’ll get more inspired to write.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
The best advice I have for writing is to set a word count and write. Also writing like you speak and writing in shorter sentences and using simpler words. You don’t need fancy words to impress people – you should try to make your points easily understood. The best advice I’ve received in life is to be grateful for what I have everyday.
What are you reading now?
The Surrender Experiment by Michael Singer
What’s next for you as a writer?
I hope to keep writing books to help people, inspire people to make changes and stand back up after challenging life experiences.
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 Power of Now, the Surrender Experiment, the Untethered Soul, and the Power of Less by Leo Babauta.
