Woo Hoo! I'm a week away from finishing the first draft of the sequel to Murder in Old Bombay!
The idea for my sequel came to me when I attended the Parliament of World Religions in 2018, a delegate of the miniscule Zoroastrian religion. I learned that the First POWR was held in 1893 during Chicago World's Fair.
The US population then was about 60 million. Over six months, 27 million people visited Chicago to see the World's Fair. That's almost HALF the country!
It was in this Chicago parliament that America first heard the visionary Hindu orator Swami Vivekananda speak. This, then was a pivotal moment in human history, the beginning of something marvelous: people of different cultures and faiths reaching out to understand each other. I knew this watershed moment had such potential ... but working out the deadly plot was tough. It took me 15 months :)

Dear Nev March. I am so pleased that you liked my review of 'Murder in Old Bombay' here on Goodreads. I see from your comments below that there will be a sequel. Although this first book is so satisfying and complete in itself, I did feel there was an opening for further books at the end. What a nice surprise. Since I have to ask a question, do you have a title and tentative publication date at this time?

I'm almost finished with Murder in Old Bombay and I am loving it! Wonderful characters and gripping storytelling. I am listening to it on Audible and just wanted to say that your selection of Vikas Adam as narrator was brilliant! He is perfect and brings all your characters - old men, young women and children - to life. I hope you use him again in your next novel?
