My thanks to #TalkoftheTown and Heidi (Cosmochicklitan) and Shaz (Jera’s Jamboree) for letting me link this post up today.

Renita D’Silva loves stories, both reading and creating them. Her short stories have been published in ‘The View from Here’, ‘Bartleby Snopes’, ‘this zine’, ‘Platinum Page’, ‘Paragraph Planet’ among others and have been nominated for the ‘Pushcart’ prize and the ‘Best of the Net’ anthology. She is the author of ‘Monsoon Memories’, ‘The Forgotten Daughter’, ‘The Stolen Girl’, ‘A Sister’s Promise’ and ‘A Mother’s Secret’.
It is such an honour to have her here today and she is one of the nicest, most genuine authors I have had the pleasure of interviewing.
Welcome Renita. I’d like to start by asking you a few slightly unusual questions. Wacky Races or Bananaman?
Bananaman
Draughts or Chess?
Chess.
Ooh, that makes you a clever lady. I still can’t remember which way a knight travels. ‘Happy Days or ‘The Brady Bunch’?
Happy Days.
Clever with a sense of humour. Bell bottomed trousers or gypsy blouses? (I had some huge bell bottomed jeans. I swished when I walked.)
Gypsy Blouses.
Anne of Green Gables or St Trinians?
Anne of Green Gables.
Imagine you are entering a fancy dress competition. Who would you go as?
Miss Marple J I love Agatha Christie and have always secretly wanted to be a detective although I have yet to solve a crime, fictional or otherwise J I can never guess the murderer in a TV show or book J
I love those twists too. It was always the butler who commited the crime, wasn’t it?
