Peek-a-Book

I feature here two books that I have written. One, on the impossibly beautiful and fascinating land of Ladakh (in Jammu and Kashmir), was written by me as part of the editorial team at the travel portal JourneyMart. The book is copyright JourneyMart, but I'm featuring it here because it is very close to my heart. Ladakh is a land I have visited three times, and its beauty is such that I can never quite- no matter how hard I try- actually put it in words.

So here it is: the HarperCollins Guide to Ladakh.

The second book is very different. Not a travel book, no facts and no figures. This is a novel, a historical detective story set in the turbulent times of 17th century Delhi, where a triple murder- that of a courtesan, a nobleman, and his bodyguard- brings to light a secret that jeopardises the stability of an empire already tottering on the brink of disaster. Tentatively called The Englishman's Cameo, this book still awaits the light of day. All I can do is hope and pray.
