Tell us about your books
The Ethan Murphy series came out in early 2021. It’s a middle-grade adventure series with a hint of mystery. It follows Ethan Murphy and his friends as they decipher codes and go on adventures.
Currently, I’m working on a historical fiction. As much as I love reading historical fiction, I had never imagined that I would write it someday. Actually, it was fun researching and writing it.
Which books did you enjoy growing up?
I always enjoyed reading mystery books. As a kid, I loved reading Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys series. Even as an adult, I enjoy reading and writing mystery. There’s something about a good mystery that keeps you hooked right from the first page until the end of the book.
What inspired you to write books?
I was a story weaver and a storyteller ever since I was a little girl. But it had never occurred to me that I would become an author someday. My children love to listen to my stories, and that’s why I started penning them down. So yeah, my children are my greatest inspiration.
Where is your favorite place to read?
Oh wow! I had never given it a thought. I believe that a good book has potential to take you places and worlds you’ve never imagined. So, it doesn’t really matter where I get to read that book.
What do you like to do when you’re not writing?
When I’m not writing, you can find me reading a good mystery book or a historical fiction. Also, I love to bake, so when I find some time, I try out new cake recipes. I find baking very relaxing.
As a child, what did you want to do when you grew up?
As a child, I wanted to be a teacher. And I’m glad to mention that even after completing my B.E. and joining an IT company, I went ahead and pursued my dream of working in a school. Now I’m a homeschooling mom of two wonderful children. The experience of teaching in a school and homeschooling is very rewarding.
What is a writing tip for aspiring authors?
Write, write, write, and for a change, write some more. The more you write, you improve your penmanship and develop your skills to become a better writer.
