Snippets from my first novel Dark Summer Nights It’s a nice summer’s day in June, the sun shining, birds whistling, the heat burning down; some would think this would last forever for Summer, a fifteen year old Indian girl born and bred in Balham. She is a sibling to thirteen year old Nikesh and twenty year old Sumi. Summer lives a very carefree life but occasionally rebels against her strict parents when she deems right. She wears her silky brown hair in a long plait with big brown eyes that mesmerises anyone in her presence.

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 4
She kisses him on the lips passionately “do you really want me?” he nods and strokes her back, she in turn strokes his. She finds her tongue touching his and they both get lost in their own little world “I want to be your girlfriend Hen; I just don’t know how to tell my folks!” Henry looks sympathetically at Summers problem “don’t worry, it will be ok, I’m sure about it”. She looks down and her smile has disappeared “uh Henry, I don’t think you quite get it, my parents are the strict kind!”
