  • @Munira | Catharsis or Emotionally challenging ?
    Click here to reply to @Munira

    "Hi Riti. First of all, I just want to say that the title Dark side of the New Year really caught my attention. Like, it feels powerful, emotional, and layered with meaning. Like, I was curious to know that when you were writing this book, did you find the process to be cathartic in some way, like a release of emotion? Or was it just more emotionally challenging for you to revisit and express such deep themes?"

    "Which brings me to something I couldn't help but wonder. Was there a particular scene or chapter that was particularly hard for you to write emotionally? Because as a reader, I felt the weight of certain passages. This so heavily that I can only imagine how deeply they must have sat within you before they sat free on the page. I would love to hear your response on this, and congratulations once again. Looking forward to reading more of you very soon."

  • @Ramya | Ask Sharon | The inspiration behind 'Terrors of Midnight'

    "Also, as a horror aficionado myself, I can I have generally observed that horror fiction can sometimes get a bit overly dramatic or even detached from reality. And yet, as I was reading your novel, I felt it was very grounded and almost very disturbingly real to lot of extent. And your book doesn't just rely on jump scares, it explores psychological fears and emotional trauma. So how did you approach writing horror that is both supernatural and yet deeply grounded and personal."

    "I think, Sharon, this would be a question more geared towards other aspiring writers in the svelte community. So you worked with the Book Bakers and Loxley Hall Publishing for this book. It would be wonderful if you could talk a little bit about your publishing journey. As such, being a debut author, I feel it would be of a lot of value to other aspiring writers who may be listening in to this."

As a writer, I know that, you know, planning out these transitions is not that easy, so I am really curious to know if you faced any challenges while, you know, shifting between perspectives and timelines and still maintaining a cohesive narrative."

    Click here to reply to @Ramya

    "So I've just started reading the book, and I must say that your protagonist, Hazel, is a very singular kind of character. Strong, yet vulnerable, with several shades of gray, if I may say. So, how did you develop her psychological arc from trauma to resilience?"

    "Hello sir. My name is Vivek and I've been an avid reader of crime, terror and geopolitical books for quite some time. As a student who's pursuing political science, geopolitical books and crime thrillers are something that have held a keen interest on me. And I've always loved books that hold your suspense through to the very last. And reading about your book kind of reminded me about a book called A Man who Lost India. The man who Lost India?"
