- @Ramya | Ask Naveen Singh | plot parallels to contemporary issues...Click here to reply to @Ramya
"So, Naveen, your book raises some really important questions around intelligence, control, and resistance. Do you see some parallels between your plot to contemporary issues like AI surveillance or centralized power?"3 min - @Ramya | Ask Naveen Singh | Creating relatable characters...Click here to reply to @Ramya
"I think in the book, survival appears to be as much as a psychological battle as a physical one. So beyond the physical dangers, your characters also face so much of emotional and mental challenges. How did you explore the internal landscape of your characters, especially their fears, doubts and resilience to ensure that they resonate with your readers?"4 min - @Ramya | Ask Naveen Singh | Your writing process...Click here to reply to @Ramya
"So Naveen, I came across a lot of reviews of your book where readers have praised the smooth narrative and the balanced storytelling approach. So as a fellow writer myself, I am very curious to know about your writing process. How did you craft pacing and tension without losing clarity given that your book is a high stakes thriller of sorts."2 min - @Ramya | Ask Naveen Singh | Message for readers from your book.Click here to reply to @Ramya
"I think I have just one more question for you Naveen, about the book. What message are you hoping your readers will walk away with, especially in a time when real world survival, be it biological, technological or moral, is under so much of scrutiny? And should readers expect a sequel or, you know, something related to this universe in your upcoming book? I'm really curious to know."2 min - @authorskumar | The Girl in Scarlet HijabClick here to reply to @authorskumar
"Hello, I'm Suresh Kumar, author of Girl in Scarlet Hijab, a historical fiction set in Kochi in the 1980s. The book was first acquired by Rupa Publications and released in December 24 in India and last month in July it was launched on Amazon.com through an indie press company called ZV Press."2 min - @Ramya | Ask Shruti Haldia | The idea behind 'Gods and Goddesses'Click here to reply to @Ramya
"Hello Shruti, thank you so much for taking the time out and being a part of this Q and A on swell and talking about your latest book for children, gods and goddesses. Curious Laddus so I will start at the start. What inspired you to write this book for children on Hindu gods and goddesses and how did you approach children writing about deities with both reverence and playfulness?"2 min - @Ramya | Ask Shruti Haldia | Handling the nuances in mythology...Click here to reply to @Ramya
"So, Shruti, one question that I had for you was about how our myths are also layered and complex and sometimes even very contradictory. Given that, how did you handle such nuances in these mythological tales and stories while keeping them simple for children?"1 min - @Ramya | Ask Shruti Haldia | Role of mytholo6in building identity & belongingClick here to reply to @Ramya
"Also Shruti, what role do you think mythology plays in building a child's sense of identity and belonging? And how can today's parents introduce their children to faith without forcing dogma? So what's the balance here? I'm really, you know, eager to have your thoughts on this."2 min - @Ramya | Ask Shruti Haldia | Your research process...Click here to reply to @Ramya
"As a writer myself, I'm really curious to know what your research process is like. Did you, especially for this book, did you turn to scriptures or oral traditions or, you know, stories narrated by, you know, elders and grandparents in the family? And while writing for young minds, how do you simplify an idea or a concept without making it look like you're talking down to them?"2 min - @Ramya | Ask Shruti Haldia | The book's illustrations...Click here to reply to @Ramya
"I think I'll leave you with one final question, Shruti. How did you work with your illustrator to visually represent these deities in a very child friendly and culturally sensitive way?"2 min
