Interview Session<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Briefly describe your journey until now. Have you accomplished what you wanted or still have a mile to go?<\/strong>
Oh, there\u2019s still more than a mile to go. My aim, when I began writing, was to become a bestselling author. That has obviously not happened yet. Far from it, actually. And even if that happens, my work won\u2019t be \u201cdone\u201d by any means. Writing will be a lifelong pursuit for me.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is your book \u201cToo Far Gone\u201d<\/a> all about?<\/strong><\/em>
It\u2019s the third book in my psychological crime thriller Radha Bose series. It follows Radha Bose, a beautiful and emotionally damaged private investigator, and her young, clinically depressed aide Aditya Gokhale, as they try to solve the case of the mysterious disappearance of a girl with blue hair. Their client saw the girl calling out to him for help from the adjacent roof, wounded and bleeding, but when he rushed to her location, he found no one there. Was it a hallucination? A ghost? Or an elaborate trick? This is what our two private investigators attempt to find out, in addition to helping each other through their own mental health issues. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the most fulfilling part of writing this book<\/a>? And what is the most challenging?<\/strong><\/em>
Not to sound immodest, but writing this book wasn\u2019t a challenge. I know my two protagonists quite well now. They\u2019re living, breathing people in my mind. I\u2019m just a medium through which they tell their story. So, when it comes to writing about Radha Bose and Aditya Gokhale, I can craft their stories quite easily. But writing a new story with entirely new characters is proving a huge challenge. I\u2019ve just gotten comfortable with my Radha Bose series. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The most fulfilling part of writing Too Far Gone was definitely reading the readers\u2019 feedback on it. Some are encouraging, some disparaging, but all make me happy, because it means they took the time to read and think about something I loved creating.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apart from the title, what is unique about your book?<\/strong><\/em>
This book \u2013 and for that matter, all my books \u2013 doesn\u2019t fall within one single genre. It has elements of the detective genre, the crime genre, the thriller genre, the women sleuth genre, and the psychology genre. Both the protagonists suffer from mental health issues, which are explored prominently throughout all three of my works. One reviewer even described my second book as \u201cself-help\u201d. Ultimately, I look at my works as psychological crime thrillers which also focus on mental health issues in today\u2019s time. The rocks on which they stand and which keep the plot moving forward are beguiling crimes, but they are at their heart earnest character dramas. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Would you like to share some writing tips with our readers and aspiring writers?<\/strong><\/em>
I don\u2019t know if this qualifies as a \u201cwriting\u201d tip, but I always advise writers to ignore the voice in their head which tells them that their work is not good enough, that no one will read it, that they will never be a true writer. I had that voice too. Every writer does. If that voice didn\u2019t exist, we\u2019d have scores more writers and bestselling authors from all over the world. I know it\u2019s easier said than done, but that voice must be ignored. You must put your work out there in spite of it. I remember I sent my manuscript to my publisher and then simply dove into other work, forcing myself to forget about it completely. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not the least, how are you dealing with current times where everything is so uncertain?<\/strong><\/em>
Oh, I love it, you kidding? I finally have a good reason to stay home all day and not interact with anyone. I\u2019ve already experienced COVID, and it wasn\u2019t pleasant. That so many people suffer from it and die of it is obviously a terrible tragedy, and I\u2019d go back to a normal, COVID-less society in a heartbeat if I could. But since that\u2019s not possible, I might as well enjoy a lifestyle which is every lazy introvert\u2019s wet dream, right?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
