September - Interview with Shikha Kaul

[Ipshita]

We'll be having Shikha Kaul, the author of Hidden Husband answer questions this Saturday, on 12th September. In the meantime, if you have a question for her, or just want to introduce yourself, feel free to do so in this thread.

[M.J.]

Hi, Shikha!I love your cover! This seems like a very unusual piece, and I like how you've brought a diversity to romance that is often lacking. Best wishes for HIDDEN HUSBAND! Here's my question:

Do you have a job outside of writing? What is it and how does it mesh with your writing?

[Effie]

I also love your cover. It's appealing and If I saw it in a bookstore I would be compelled to pick it up and read the back cover. My question is one I get all the time. My book is rooted deeply in my culture as well. everyone wants to know how much of it is true. Was your inspiration from experience, or simply what you have witnessed and observed?

Hi M.J., glad to see your interest in my book and thanks for your wishes.
Yes, I do have a job apart from working on my passion for writing. I work in the staffing industry in India and the you will see many shades of me and my profession in the protagonist :)

Hi Effie, pleasure to hear from you. This book is actually inspired by many people I have come across in life. Especially people in India would very much relate to the subject. It talks about two cultures and their differences and how and if their love get to flourish.
