TITLE OF FIRST BOOK: Spice and Smoke
RELEASE DATE: April 10
FAVORITE WRITING STORY/SAYING/MEMORY: “Brevity is the soul
of wit,” from Shakespeare’s favorite windbag, Polonius. I can’t tell you how
many times I’ve said it — both to myself and to people whose (nonfiction!) work
I’ve edited. Whether it’s short, sweet, sexy or funny, never underestimate the
effectiveness of getting right to the point.
FAVORITE NON-WRITING STORY/SAYING/MEMORY: I’ve never watched
the U.S. version of The Office, so I
don’t even know where I might have picked it up from, but I say “That’s what
she said!” way more than is
advisable. I overuse it to the point where some friends of mine have suggested
I write a TWSS moment into a novella. (Don’t worry: I haven’t managed to fit
one in yet.) (That’s what she said!)
COMFORT FOOD: Anything fried, particularly empanadas or
samosas. I completely adore mac & cheese. In fact, the one thing more
excellent than mac & cheese is fried mac & cheese.
COMFORT READ: A Ring of Endless Light, by Madeleine
L’Engle
YOUR PERFECT DAY: Starts with
coffee and ends with a smile.
WHAT ARE YOU WORKING ON NOW?: I’m currently working on the sequel to Spice and Smoke, Spice and Secrets. It’s a multicultural contemporary romance. Two
couples — a pair of former sweethearts and a fiery talk show hostess and her
producer — must work through lies, misgivings and past relationship baggage in
order to find love. I also have a couple of other Bollywood/South Asian-themed
romances up my sleeve. Let’s just say that I’m realllly excited about 2012!
