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?

Summer, slightly tearful comes through the corridor and gets grabbed by Henry and they both sneak off to a secluded place “Hi Sum, don’t cry, she’s only telling you off a bit, she won’t tell your parents, "don’t worry”, "it’s alright for you, you don’t get told off at all” she snaps back. He looks at her lovingly “oh Hun, I do all the time, I just take it with a pinch of salt” He brings her closer and kisses her on the lips”. “oi oi, cut that out you two” a stern voice shouts back “oh shit! “ Henry laughs as he spots Tommy staring at them in hysterics. The bell rings and the lessons after her kiss from Henry are a blur. For the whole afternoon they constantly stare at each other occasionally winking at each other. Fortunately for them the teacher doesn’t catch them. The last bell rings and they all walk out of the classroom. They stroll down the corridor looking at their phones bumping into each other. Tommy grabs Henry aside as Sumi pulls up near the school gates. “Hey lady”...
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.
