When I’m book hunting and I find an intriguing title, I’ll definitely look at the cover.
Irresistible? All right, so then I’ll read the blurb.
The few words written on the back of the book will either convince me to buy/borrow it, or will compel me to return it to the shelf.
That’s how important a blurb is.
It has the onerous responsibility – now that the title and the cover have played their roles – to get the reader to clutch the book to her chest, totter off to the nearest couch, and start reading.

#FREE #ShortStory – Smoke & Shadows – Romantic Intrigue by @AuthorReet
This FREE short story is inspired by a need to revisit a time when it was more than all right to sit in coffee shops without a mask on, and to meet with relatives and friends as though a deadly virus did not lurk in the shadows.
I had fun writing this from a male perspective and also enjoyed the challenge of exploring love, loss, acceptance, and intrigue in just a few words.

#Excerpt – When the main characters of a #romance novel meet for the first time, sparks fly
Hey folks, when two people meet for the first time, it can be many things – fun, tedious, pleasant, awful, fascinating, boring – and it can be the start of a lifelong friendship or a century of feuding.

This post is a chance for you to learn of the chaos and commotion that attended the first meeting between Mohini and Aalok of my #Indie romance, ‘No Escape from Love.’
Blue and Yellow: a #poem
However much I want to believe in the power of good and however much I want to have faith and hold on to hope, I see new evidence everyday of much that is wrong with the world. Sometimes all one can do is to grieve and to pray that good prevails over evil…

To cheer myself up – yes, we contracted COVID but are in the recovery phase thankfully – I decided that my first ever romance novel needed a face lift and I am more than delighted to introduce Mita and Tanay in their new avatars.
I am also sharing a scene from their love story which starts in Mauritius, but then they go to India where a lot of the dramatic action takes place.

Murder on the blog today
Just felt like changing up the poetry mood on this blog a bit and what better way to do it than to kill off a few characters. It’s good practice for the murder mystery I [may] write someday…
