Interview with Sonia #AuthorChatter #anshuasks

Here’s my second interview as the author of Deal of Death. I had a great time answering these amazing questions. If you want to know how Deal of Death was conceived, why my protagonist is named Raya Ray and if I have any plans for a sequel, this is where I have spoken about these and on many other aspects of my debut novella. Also, I have listed down all the marketing strategies that worked for me and led to an overwhelming response in terms of downloads. I would love to hear your thoughts, so please feel free to leave your comments here.

Her first book and she wrote it in just 6 days. Not cooped up in a beach house or looking at the inspiring hills, but while minding an active toddler. If that’s not a feat then I don’t know what is.

This dynamite of a lady is none other than Sonia Chatterjee.
