Who is Anamika Khanna?

 Today I'm delighted to introduce author Shraddha Sahi and her book Anamika Khanna Falls in Love. But who is Anamika?

 


About the Book:

How far would you go in love?

A few missed calls? Liking every post of his on FB? Landing in the hospital when you fall from a tree because you wanted to see into his room?
Anamika Khanna is madly in love with Rahul…
How can someone be so blind? Why can’t she see how much I love her? Will my confession jeopardise our friendship?
Vikram Lobo, the bookworm has developed muscles and lost the soda bottle glass-es. But he can’t stop his heart from skipping a beat when he sees Anamika.
Rahul, the high society Adonis wants nothing to do with the gauche, middle class weirdo who’s following him around. Until she moves into his league…
Laugh out loud at Anamika’s antics and follow her on the roller coaster that is her life!

Meet Anamika Khanna


If you had a free day with no responsibilities and your only mission was to enjoy yourself, what would you do?

I would start the day with mooning over the picture I have of Rahul. Then I’d drop in at his house pretending to want to borrow another book to read. And spend the rest of the day dreaming of the time when he realises he’s in love with me.

If you could spend the day with someone you admire (living or dead or imaginary), who would you pick?

I’m not the very imaginative types and I hated history in school. I would want to spend the day with Rahul, far away from the disapproving eyes of his mom, though!. And yes, on this ideal day, Rahul should develop a sudden and intense dislike for his fiancee Preeti and break things off with her!

What is your idea of perfect happiness? And, what is your current state of mind?

The sun will shine only after Rahul and I are together! Right now I’m sad that Vikky doesn’t support me in my quest. After all he’s my best friend, so why does he keep telling me I’m wrong? And why do I care he’s not happy? I should only focus on Rahul, right? Not give Vikky’s abs sidelong glances!

What do you consider to be the most overrated virtue and why? 

I hate having to have ‘ambition’! I really don’t want to work for a living. Let everyone else join the right race and be daring and motivated and read Michelle Obama’s autobiography. I just want to be loved, by Rahul, of course!

Tell us 3 things about yourself that the readers do not know about

- I tasted my Dad’s scotch when he and Mom when for a party and put in a little water to restore the original level (just in case, though he’s not very observant!)
- I find it tough to make polite conversation, I daydream too much and lose the thread of the conversation and then the person gets miffed when I ask them to repeat the question.
- I wish I had a big brother to take care of me. Being an only child sucks!


Meet the Author:

Words have been the centre of Shraddha’s existence for as long as she can re-member. Fed up with her constant demand for books, her parents asked her to write her own. And so, it began!

She’s an ophthalmologist with a specialisation in Glaucoma. She juggles her profes-sional demands with her new label of tennis mom and the larger than life charac-ters that live in her mind, demanding to be manifested.

She has written A Doctor in the House (Partridge), A Great Fall (Juggernaut) and The Case of the Counterfeit Currency (Mango Books) and also has an anthology of poems (F.I.S.T) (Pothi Books)

Shraddha finds herself attracted to stories about women – strong ones, funny ones & kick ass survivors. Her self-deprecating humor tends to stay with you long after you’ve shut the book.

How to Connect those Connections

Taken from a talk I gave on Sunday at the Writers' Mill. This is a very low-level approach to getting connected, from one beginner to another... Internet Writing, Marketing and Networking If you’ve got an email address you’re on the internet. If you’ve got a book out or an article in a magazine, you’re into marketing. If you’ve got friends, you’re networking. And if you use Google, you can do almost anything. Google Google is your friend. Google “how to join facebook” “How to join goodreads” “How to join Twitter” etc… Google “facebook badges” “blogger widgets” etc… to spice up your pages. Anything you want to know, a nice simple question to google will almost certainly tell you. But keep safe . Don’t just click on the first link you see. Make sure it looks vaguely genuine. “F*@!book.com/badges” might take you somewhere you don’t want your computer to go. “Facebook.com/badges” tells you all about badges. Why would you want to join all these interne...

Eternal curse might hide a blessing too.

Today is the official launch day for Toi Thomas's paranormal romance, Eternal Curse, and I was lucky enough to be offered a free preview copy some while ago. The novel creates an intriguing mythology of angelic beings and the Fall, binding it nicely to modern day characters in search of meaning for their lives. There's an interesting blend of the paranormal, faith and science, and the story has a nicely old-fashioned feel with separate underlying tales taking center stage on the way to resolution. So... here's the cover, the blurb, and my review: ABOUT THE BOOK 'You have plenty of time to change your mind. You have not yet seen the monster I can be.' Giovanni has been waiting his whole life to meet someone like Mira, someone from the outside world who might be able to help him. He wonders if there really is help for him as he continues to hold tightly onto dark secrets and even darker memories. Giovanni wants to be hopeful and he wants to accept Mira...

Author or transcriber, reader or visitor, greatest or least? Meet Kathryn Elizabeth Jones

 Today I'm delighted to welcome Kathryn Elizabeth Jones, author of " I walked with Jesus ," to my blog. I very much enjoyed her short stories retelling miracles from the life of Christ - we clearly have faith and short fiction in common with each other.  I loved how historical, real, and relevant Kathryn's stories felt. You can find my review here:  https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4904771188 . I'd love to meet the author and chat in person, but inviting her to my blog is the next best thing, so I asked her to let me and you how she finds her audience. Here's what she told me. Why I think my audience is beginning to find me by  Kathryn Elizabeth Jones One of the hardest things to do as an author, other than writing or marketing a book, is to find that often illusive audience. It’s easier with mysteries or children’s picture books, probably because you know who reads them; adults and teens who love sleuthing and children and their parents who love reading....
