What a couple of months and I’m going to use a lot of cliches, even though all the writer’s forums tell you not to. But what the heck, my story is out there in the wide world.
It’s been a steep learning curve, my journey of learning to write. I can see now that there are obvious mistakes, but I’m learning and boy was it hard. I hope to improve on my new craft and work on a couple more ideas for books to get my creative juices flowing. Told you I was going to use a lot of cliches.
I want to say thank you to my family and friends who have brought the e-book. I want to thank my early readers who gave me the confidence to carry on. I hope you like it and be honest, send me feedback, if you don’t tell me the truth who will. I have a couple of reviews, on Goodreads, please add yours.
Bollywood meets Mills & Boon enjoyable read
Plenty of melodrama in this ultimate girl meets boy tale. Set in the UK, the main characters and their families are of Indian origin so many interesting references to culture, especially food - make sure to reference the appendices at the back of the book! Fun easy read.
The next book in University - Reena and Nikesh series is being sent to the publisher’s as I write. I aim to have it uploaded for the beginning of March. Watch my social media for updates. This is the book that sat forever on my computer drive for over ten years. I changed laptops and it came with me, sitting and sometimes pulsing at me to go back to it. To muster the courage to read it again, to be strong enough to get it out there.
Well, that happened, and it was the strangest experience I have ever had. But I’m glad it happened, somehow the time was right for me to do what I’ve done - write a book.
Here’s a couple of links to articles:

A bit of technical information
I’ve had lots of people ask why it isn’t available as a paperback. One reason, why buy a paperback when you can read most things on your smartphone, iPad, laptop and secondly I will get it out on paperback or hardback but I haven't learnt how to do that yet. So you’ll have to read it as an ebook. You can download the kindle app for free on all your devices including Apple products if you have an Amazon account and buy from there, or if you prefer Apple, you already have ebooks on your devices and just need to find the book through their store.
I’ve published through other stores too, Barnes and Noble Nook and Rakuten Kobo. It’s available on Overdrive, Baker and Taylor and other lending libraries soon. These apps are also available as a download, see links below.
