no. not all stories are about love. they need not be. i’d suggest those who haven’t read dakhma to add it to your june reading list :)

When I started writing my very 1st book 15 years ago, I didn't think I'd even finish it. Felt like a monumental task, a distant dream.
Now, I'm gearing up for my 9th book with Harper.
To every aspiring writer: Dream. Write.
That first word is everything.

It’s finally happening.
A terrifying tale based on events that were never supposed to see the light of day.
A city haunted by silence. A woman without a face.
Coming soon to—
…okay, no. Not yet.
Happy April Fools’ Day.
Until then, grab the book. The real horror’s still in there.

india’s most haunted - takes of terrifying places

It all begins at the writing desk in my little office-study.
Where tea stains kiss forgotten outlines, and the quiet hum of thought becomes thunder in the mind.
Writing is an escape—
Dreams twist into nightmares.
Heroes wear shadows.
Villains bleed humanity.
