INTERVIEW
Q: What would we find under your bed?
A: Nothing except for some dust for I have a low bed.
Q: What was the scariest moment of your life?
A: My mom was with me when I had my daughter and then after a month she had to go back to India. The first night on my own taking care my newborn daughter was the scariest. I was so scared that I might do something wrong or not understand what the baby needs. I was up the whole night literally just watching her.
Q: Do you listen to music while writing? If so what?
A: I do listen to music while writing and it’s a long list - hip hop, Indian, country, movie tracks and whatever else I might be in the mood for.
Q: What is something you'd like to accomplish in your writing career next year?
A: I would like to be able to write the sequel to Only Wheat Not White and hopefully see Only Wheat Not White reach more readers.
Q: How long did it take you to write this book?
A: I started in early 2013. It took me four to five months to write the first draft and then several more months to edit. From start to finish, it took me about a year and a half to write this book. However, some personal issues kept me away from promoting this book for nearly a year.

What if following your heart means failing your family? Eila Sood leaves India for the U.S., hoping to unite her family and mend fences with her estranged older sister. She soon learns that her sister’s intercultural marriage, which outraged their parents, has hit rock bottom. To help pay the bills, Eila accepts an accounting job at a strip club, working for the fascinating yet infuriating Brett Wright. As their friendship and mutual desire builds, Eila chooses keeping family peace over following her heart. After Brett misinterprets her fears and accuses Eila of prejudice, his ex-girlfriend steps in to offer solace. Eila realizes that whichever choice she makes will rip her life apart. What will Eila choose? Love of her life or a life ruled by tradition? Fall in love with love, in this steamy saga from a best selling romance author.
Excerpt Five:
Miserable, Eila bobbed her head not looking at Brett. Walking away from you again is killing me.
For her part, Eila began a new phase of her life with the strictest of rules.
Rule number 1: Always take big portions of dessert after dinner. This will eradicate the craving for comfort food later when you are up the whole night.
Rule number 2: Do not look at couples. Better still, glare at them or imagine them as incestuous siblings. Yuck!
Rule number 3: In public, as in with anyone other than yourself, keep your lips stretched and show teeth.
Rule number 4: Thanks to Rule number 3, always keep lip-gloss handy, for dry lips are painful to stretch. Also, horde ice packs and tea bags for under the eyes dark circles.
Rule number 5: Avoid anything that begins with the letter B, be it bread, biscuits, baseball or bayonets. Also make sure to personally shred napkins, pages, office memos and toilet paper filled with doodles of HIS name.
Rule number 6: Say NO to Italian food.
Rule number 7: In the near future – we are talking about the next twenty years – try and reduce the number of times you view HIS social networking page, which has not been updated for over ninety days.
Rule number 8: Seriously, only read the bestselling books in horror and self-help genres. The former will help you kill time by making you sweat, shake and fear your own reflection, thereby distracting you from HIS thoughts. And the latter will help you fall asleep faster than any over-the-counter sleeping pills.
Rule number 9: Remember you are not a teenager, so you are too old to hate your parents.
Rule number 10: Always remember to breathe in and out and put one foot in the front of the other.
