For a long time Auckland's Nalini Singh was the most famous author that New Zealanders had never heard of.

She tells Nicky Pellegrino how it felt to be overlooked for so long, why writing romance isn't as easy as it may seem, and how she decided to take a chance and tackle her first murder mystery, the twisty turny A Madness Of Sunshine.
