My Second Novel

Recently completed my second novel. Still long way to go before it gets published.

When I wrote my first novel, “The Timingila”, it was to prove that I can write a novel – not just short stories. Fame was an unexpected byproduct.

When I started on my second novel, I pondered on what I am trying to prove this time? For whom?

I realised that it does not matter! So, I wrote this one for my love of telling stories.

This story narrates how adversity can affect different people differently. From kings to monks, and warlords to destitutes – how some crumble under pressure, while others attain heights of greatness while fighting the same circumstances.

With an array of complex characters, and a fast-paced storyline, I am sure you will have as much fun reading the novel as I had in writing it. – Shon Mehta
