😊😊Tell us about your book 'Lost Girl'

Lost Girl is a novel about a girl named Lia who comes to Manchester because her parents have to travel around for their business. She joins the same school where her younger cousin sister had died a year ago. She feels her new school is just fine. She has the company of her new friends, enemies, and her crush, for whom she just can't stop falling in love with. Things are all fine and dandy until the day she finds her dead sister's diary. Lia is determined to find out what happened to her sister; if it was a natural death or murder.

❂

Why did you choose 'Lost Girl' as your title?

The title is about Clara, who is Lia's dead sister. I had actually chosen just Lost when I started writing the book, but then I decided to keep it Lost Girl because Clara is lost.

❂

Da** that's deep!! Are any of your characters inspired by a real-life person? If yes, then who and why?

Yes, a few characters are inspired by a real-life person. The character Sandy has been inspired by my best friend/sister Sannika. It's because of the way Sandy is always there for Lia. Sannika has also been for me the same way.

Second, the character Kylie has been inspired by my best friend Kanishka. It's because Kanishka has always supported me in all my decisions and given me honest opinions.

Third, the character Clara has been inspired by my younger cousin sister, who's very close to me and also resembles me as if she's my real sister.

And lastly, Lia has been inspired by myself. We are both quite similar.

❂

I have also read 'A Deal with the Devil'. What's the greatest difficulty you face while writing about characters that are different from you?

The greatest difficulty I face is writing about male characters. It's difficult writing about what they think, their thoughts.

❂

Yes, I know this pain. What are the thoughts of your Family on you being writer?

They didn't believe me at first when I told them I was a writing a book, but then I showed them the book, and they believed me. They're really supportive about me writing a book. They tell their relatives and friends to go check out my book.
