First of all, I’d like to thank all of you for your wishes and congratulations for the launch of my second book and first novel, Simran. It’s an amazing feeling and I have to tell you, I’ve been writing for a long time now and this story was perhaps the most satisfying to narrate. There are aspects to the story that have been influenced by real-life events, which makes it that much closer to my heart.
And now, as I had promised, I’m proud to give you a few select excerpts from the book, exclusively for the readers of MirrorCracked. I hope you like it, and if you do, please be sure to spread the word. It’s in the PDF format and you would need Adobe Reader to view it.
Just to remind you folks, the e-book is releasing on the 20th of July, 10 days from now and will be available on Amazon.com for $18.90. But if the book is downloaded on MirrorCracked, it’s available at $10.00, for the first two months.
Please read through the opening chapters of the book in the excerpt above and let me know your views. Bouquets and brickbats are welcome.
PS: Spread the word.
PPS: Please buy it once its released! 🙂 🙂
