Growing up, I didn't know any writers and felt somewhat isolated.

I've seen fan art from readers that is professional-grade in quality.

Before I ever begin writing a new story, I have to sketch my characters out on paper. It's part of my process of understanding who they are.

As a writer, I try to appeal to the 'elusive boy audience' the same way I try to appeal to everyone: I do the very best I can to create interesting characters, addictive plots, tons of conflict, believable settings, unexpected plot twists, intriguing beginnings, and satisfying endings.

It's true: I married my college sweetheart. We were so lucky to find each other at such a young age.

Beauty is the lover's gift.

I have a love for astronomy; Aruna, my wife, and I love travelling, so whenever we get an opportunity, we set off to explore places that have tickled our interest. We are also wildlife enthusiasts.

I think women's relationships with other women are very complicated and depend on their relationships with their mothers. Mine was fraught with problems. So I didn't necessarily trust women for a long time.
