Snapshot Moments
“It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end.” -- Ernest Hemingway
The countdown has begun. In a little more than a month my debut Harlequin Mills & Boon romance, "The Indian Tycoon's Marriage Deal", will be released! Of course I'm super excited! It's like finally arriving at your destination after a long journey. Exhausted but exhilarated.

The love story had to be balanced with Maya’s quest for revenge. After all, she wasn’t looking for love. And especially not with the son of her Enemy No. 1.
There was plenty of potential conflict in that premise and it had to be mined just right. If it was heavily skewed towards the revenge plotline the book wouldn’t qualify to be a romance. So there had to enough power in the inner conflict as a result of their attraction for each other.
That was enough to freeze me up. The more I went into analysis mode, the tougher it became to type up the words.
I needed to switch off my analyst self and look at the whole thing from a new angle.
