Cover Reveal

Remember King Dushyant, my protagonist from King in Hiding? I’ve written a novella about his parents, and I’m excited to share it with you later this year.

Princess Neela faces the unbearable prospect of marrying a man old enough to be her father. Desperate to escape her fate, she turns to the only person who can help—King Bhodar, a ruler drowning in sorrow and toddy. Initially repulsed by his drunken conduct, Neela discovers a kind heart beneath his troubled exterior and slowly begins to see the man he could be. As they draw closer, Neela becomes determined to heal his wounds and help him reclaim his strength. But time is running out, and she must discover if love can truly conquer all and set them both free before it’s too late.

Will Neela and Bhodar find salvation in each other, or will their pasts forever bind them to lives they never wanted?

My protagonist is a poet

So I am writing poetry.

My protagonist, Prince Giridhar, is masquerading as a playwright. He falls in love with the poems of a local poet and uses them in his play.

Here are the opening lines of the draft poem:

She shone like a star in the sky

Sparkling like a diamond from up high

What do you think of this verse penned by our princess?

Princess Suryavati has a secret. She loves to write poems, and until recently, she had no audience for them. Can you imagine her thrill when Giridhar builds a play around her poems? But she lets him think the poet is a man, though her heart races each time he is near.

I enjoy writing their story, except for the poetry. That is kicking my rear. I will share more soon. In the meantime, please read the first romance novel in this series. It is a stand-alone happily ever after tale, featuring a king who has captured an enemy on the battlefield and allows his heart to be captured by the daughter of his prisoner.

What am I writing?

I have started working on book two of my historical romance series.

My protagonist, Prince Giridhar, is masquerading as a playwright. He falls in love with the poems of a local poet and uses them in his play.

Princess Suryavati has a secret. She loves to write poems, and until recently, she had no audience for her work. Can you imagine her thrill when Giridhar builds a play around her poems? But she lets him think the poet is a man.

Their love of words brings them together, each unaware of the other’s true identity. Is there a happily ever after for them? Only after I make them suffer for three-quarters of the book.

Did I tell you about my short story?

Child of the River is not my only book coming out in 2024. I also have a short story in an anthology: ‘Queens in Wonderland’—an LGBTQ+ Alice in Wonderland themed collection.

My short story is set in contemporary California. Don’t worry, though; Medieval India makes a guest appearance. I am looking forward to sharing this story with you next month.

It is more than a month

I cannot believe King in Hiding has been out for more than a month. This is my first historical romance novel. King Dushyant captures Princess Lalitha’s father on the battlefield, but finds himself captivated by her. Without revealing his identity, he offers to escort her on the journey home to her kingdom — and Lalitha feels an undeniable pull towards her mysterious escort. But what happens when the truth comes out?

That first meeting sets the tone for the rest of the book

Princess Lalitha is riding alone on a horse while she encounters King Dushyant and the ground. But this damsel in distress does not want to be rescued.

My virtual bookshelf

I use Goodreads as my virtual bookshelf. A good book recommended by a trusted source goes into my TBR pile. I use Goodreads to track the books I have read, and I am doing great against my 2023 Reading Challenge. Reading brings me joy, so I don’t see these Reading Challenges as a competition. I see it more as an accomplishment.

I have several fiction and non-fiction categories to shelve a book into. I find this organization useful to find books I have read, especially when friends ask for book recommendations. I create new shelves when I read a book that does not quite fit on my existing shelves, and I decide it needs its own space. I recently made a new shelf called women-in-stem for novels that featured female protagonists working in the stem field. I have three books filed under this, and I am sure I will be adding many more.

My newest novel, King in Hiding, can be shelved under Historical Romance, Medieval Romance, and Romance. If you have more create shelves for a novel like this, please let me know in the comments.
