"For example, my psychological thriller Shadow in the Mirror, had chapter titles like Summer Heat, A Touch of Ice in Autumn and Dark, Icy Winter. This was actually a device which I used to create a sense of interest in my readers and to give a hint of the events within the chapter. Likewise, my short stories also depend much on the setting. The bewitched hour of twilight, where twilight ...

"What comes easy can also be easy for a million other writers as well. It is important for a thriller writer to maintain his or her own style of writing and also to maintain the pace of the story. It should be pacey and racy enough to hold the interest. How important are the setting and the characterization? How many strong characters should a novel have to balance the yin and the yang? ...

"There are so many writers out there with such lovely ideas, and it is a good thing to have a writer circle, people who will tell you very, very frankly what they feel about your writing, what is good about it, what needs a little bit of change amendment.

"You. The one moment that always makes me feel that it has all been worth it is when I write the end. Because it is a culmination of a lot of hard work, a lot of thought, a lot of sleepless nights, and a lot of imagination running riot. So those two words, the end, always make the moment worthwhile. The other moment that makes everything worthwhile is when your editor gets back to you an...

"I think that is the most interesting part of writing. Of course, there have been times when I have sent my manuscript to my publisher and editor, and they have also suggested changes, maybe to the storyline, changes to the style, changes to how the characters react in the story, and then I've had to redo bits again. In fact, shadow in the mirror was actually a blend of two stories which...

"You need people to enjoy what you're writing, and you need people to believe in what you're writing. So in order to make this story believable and intriguing, I thought I had to put in a lot of hard work. The funny thing was that despite all that, I think this book did not take as much time as most of my other books had done earlier. I think maybe that was because I lost myself."

"But after much research, I did manage to get a story which I thought would go through and which would reach my readers. So I think the basic inspiration came from my publisher and the rest, of course, came from the fact that I had to write a book that was very different from all my earlier books because my first book, Shadow in the mirror, or rather my second book, Shadow in the mirror,...

Well, once again, it took me a little bit of time, but then that's because I think I'm a bit of a fossil as far as all this goes. But now here I am. What first got me interested in writing? Well, I think it was the fact that I was born into a family of readers. My grand parents were readers. My father and mother were...
