She is a talented writer, whom I've had the pleasure of reading all her books and beta reading her current WIP (Work in progress). Her new book is out Witch Crystal. Although ment for 10 and up, I believe adults who like fantasy would like it also.

Q. Why did you become an author.
A. I have always had a passion for writing. I read widely as a young girl and decided that one day I will be an author.
Q. Tell me about your books.
A. FOTM is about a Pooja who is the main character. The story unfolds as we see her struggle against the backdrop of pre Indian independence. We see her lose the love of her life and then she is married to an older man who has a grown up child and two younger ones.

Where the Secret Lies is about a spirit from post independence 1948 and a girl from the present 2012. The two characters are related to each other's story.

Witch Crystal is a book for ages 10 plus,  and runs along the lines of Harry Potter and Percy Jackson. It is about Larissa who diacovers the depth of her witch abilities and a prophecy she is to fulfill.  With her are Jake who is Xyth,  he has come from the planet Zrotaz which is also Larissa's home planet.  Larissa is also acquainted with the Witch Crystal.  Together they travel to Norway where their real adventure begins.
The other side of Witch Crystal we follow Zleus who is the witch brother of Xyth. He is on the journey to the Sacred Witches meeting where they will bring a plan to free his mother from the clutches of the High Witch.
