Hi to my readers, I am pleased to see that my first blog is being well received... This novel is about a story of survival in a foreign country for a an Indian girl born and bred in UK, I have focused this story on forced marriages abroad as I would like to bring awareness to girls no matter how young or old that have had no choice in marrying a suitor picked by their family. I like to say that I have been lucky in that my parents were liberated and allowed me to pick my own choice of suitor which is why I have thanked my parents in the beginning of the book... however it would be interesting to hear your views on arranged/forced marriages. Do you think they will ever have a chance of working in the future? Or is it a complete no-no?

Snippet 5 - Hi peeps , hope youre all enjoying this novel, if you have any doubts please give any feedback
They banter as they see Tommy and Henry in the front walkway “oooh girls, you both look lovely”, the girls blush as they stare at their cool looking boys “you don’t look bad yourselves, if we must say”. Henry interlinks his arm with Summer and walks ahead, Tommy and Rachel follow behind at a distance. Lankan drives by Rachel’s house spying to see if he can spot Summer in the window but instead he spots Henry and Summer with interlinked arms walking together “right that’s it, I’m not having this”. He decides to let them have their enjoyment that night. He gets home in a rage but doesn’t show it to Kamila who has cooked Lankan’s favourite dish.
Second snippet of my novel Dark Summer Nights.
Summer rushes in front of Nikesh " see ya later loser!”. He rolls his eyes and keeps behind. “Yeah we will see who the loser is later on!” he replies. Summer looks behind, sticks two fingers at him and walks on. She meets Rachel and Emily her best friends near the entrance. “Hi girls”. Rachel smiles at Summer and hugs her “oh hiya Sum”. Emily stares at Summer too and gives her a hug. Henry, a blond blue-eyed lad who she has a crush on and his mate Tommy, a dark haired Casanova walk by greeting them “hiya, alright?”, "yeah were good” Summer smiles at Henry “Cool”. They all follow each other into class. They take their seats, the teacher seats them girl-boy so they don’t end up chatting during their lesson. Henry sits next to Rachel and Tommy next to Summer. Emily who is unfortunately left out sits next to a shy boy. She smiles at him hoping to strike up a conversation but it backfires on her.
