Romancing my woes away!
Hi Aarti,
Thank you for adding beauty and grace to my blog.
I’m intrigued by the lovely cover of your latest book – let’s talk about it – about “Crossing Lines”.
How did the idea come about, to write Millennial romances?
The idea to write Millennial romances came from the fact that I am of the 80s and I grew up in the 90s. So it’s a natural segue into exploring…
Trained to be a doctor; however, she always found time to read fiction. She wanted to write, and she started with scientific articles, which involved the putting down in words, of cold, hard facts. Happily for her, the call of her creative muse got so loud, she couldn’t ignore it anymore. Luckily, Harlequin® India gave her the first break, by virtue of their Passions contest. Winning it was a stroke of luck, allowing her a two book deal. The first of these, ‘Scorched by His Fire‘, came into the Indian marketplace in February this year; the second is a work-in-progress, as yet unnamed.
Please share some of the best memories of your childhood
Reading, play acting and story-telling sessions with my sisters – most days of the year, but especially when we were vacationing in our maternal grandparents’ home in a small village in Punjab. We ate maltas (citrus) off the trees, ate hot sugarcane jaggery off the cauldron, and drank milk straight off the buffalo’s….no, everything except that.
About your education
We schooled all over the country and abroad, being army kids; but then…..
Jazz Singh and Zeenat Mahal talk about their latest book, about reading and writing, and about inspiration and friendship!
Dear ladies,
Thank you for dropping in to talk to me.
How fabulous for your fans (I’m one of them, in case you didn’t already know) to get a book that features a story each from both of you! I’m talking about your latest offering, “Twice Upon a Time”. Have a look at the cover – it is very lovely – artistic and vibrant!

Thank you for coming over to talk to me. I’m really looking forward to your next two offerings – they are both sequels to ‘Playing with Fire’, I understand.
Let’s talk about them – ‘Dancing with Fire’ and ‘Living with Fire’!
Two sequels at once – awesome! How do you do it? Do you write concurrently, sequentially, what? Tell us something about that – perils, pitfalls, advantages.
