A writer, a book and a blog

Hey!

I’m Ruchi Banerjee, an author who (as you would already know by the massive header above!) loves to write science fiction, fantasy and romance.

What is Young Adult and more importantly…am I one? (Oh please, say yes!)

If you’re one of those people who wander around in the children’s book section (you are not alone…I am one such creepy lurker) and feel a bit guilty about not reading enough ‘serious’ novels. If you’re someone who is repeatedly drawn into the world of Pottermore, those beautiful Sarah Dessen coming-of-age stories, or the fascinating slew of dystopian novels on the market (think Hunger Games, Shattered, Battle Royale), you my glorious friend, are…a young adult.

Technically, the young adult books are targeted at the age group of 13 to 21 but hey, the heart wants what the heart wants. So trod on, unafraid and unashamed!

What books have you written and what’s next?

My first science fiction/ dystopian novel – INFINITUDE – has been published by Hachette India. Needless to say, being signed by Ms Rowling’s publisher was one of the best moments of my life, however, I do also self-publish with Amazon and Apple under the pen name of Rucy Ban and am equally proud of those babies. My contemporary romance series – FIRST THINGS – is already a bestseller on both the Amazon and Apple bookstores and is available for purchase here.

Why did you choose a pen name for your contemporary romance series? Are you a secret agent posing as a penniless author?

The sharp distinction between the two genres of Young Adult fiction and Contemporary Romance necessitated that I write under different names for each. I wouldn’t want a young adult reader of mine to be bombarded with promotions/news about my romance novels, like I also wouldn’t want to bore my adult readers with a genre they might not be interested in at all.

What is this blog about? And why am I asking all these questions?

This blog is just meant to connect with you, my dear readers. I love…love to get any kind of response on my writing (yes, even the critical ones!) and I would be delighted to hear what you felt, thought or experienced while you read any of my books. So please don’t hesitate…talk to me on Facebook, tweet, comment on this blog or just send me an email…I’m eagerly waiting to hear from you! No really, I am!

Stay happy, healthy and strong.
