I love writing, I started in 2007 when I took a career break to travel around the world. That in itself was an eye opener and has inspired my writing. I grew up in Goa, India and decided to write about an issue in developing countries that I wanted to to highlight. Goa is of course a beautiful country with much to offer to tourists but there is another side as well and I wanted people to think about it.  I self published my first novel, Goa Traffic, and in 2013 my second novel - a psychological thriller entitled The Bittersweet Vine was taken on by Thames River Press.
