Who am I and what is my book ‘Diary, Deceit, and Death’ about?

Hello! My second book in the Detective Raya Ray series has started reaching its readers and they can’t stop gushing over its gorgeous cover. Most of them have started reading their copies, while some are waiting for it to be delivered.

I thought of making a video on who I am, especially for those who are new to my writing journey.

Here’s me talking about my journey as an author and what ‘Diary, Deceit, and Death’ is about.

Unboxing video after receiving the author’s copies of my book ‘Diary, deceit, and Death’

The author’s copies of ‘Diary, Deceit, and Death’ arrived last evening. It feels surreal to hold the book, an outcome of my passion turned into a profession. Coincidentally, 7 years ago on the same day(13th Sep), I started my writing journey with the blog soniasmusings.com

An active blog, innumerable articles, a handful of research write-ups, and two Raya Ray adventures later, I can look back and say I’m glad I took the plunge.

While I was both excited and emotional looking at the set, the child behind the camera couldn’t wait for me to stop speaking because he had something to say about the book as well. So, don’t miss the ending for he has a message for all my readers.

And I must mention Suhail from The Book Bakers for designing a gorgeous cover and finding one of the best publishing houses, Vishwakarma Publications for my book. Vishal Soni Sir and his team are a delight to work with.

The first copy of my second novel – Diary, Deceit, and Death (A Raya Ray adventure)

Receiving the first copy

There couldn’t have been a better month than August (Ma’s birthday month) to announce the second book in the Detective Raya Ray series – Diary, Deceit, and Death. I received the first copy last evening from my publisher Vishwakarma Publications for proofing.  The amazing cover is by The Book Baker, also my literary agent.

This is a thriller of greed, betrayal and masked identities of 2 families spanning 3 generations in 4 cities over 5 decades. Will Raya be able to race against time to deliver justice?

Well, that’s for you to find out once the book is released in the coming weeks. It would be available on Amazon, Flipkart, and in all  major bookstores across the country.

Now time for me to get back to give the finishing touch to this fast-paced Detective thriller.

Stay tuned for more updates.
