#DVpit 🪔A FAKE DATE FOR DIWALI🪔Unlucky Diya Basu and grumpy Mayor Theo Brighton enter a PR relationship to prove their individual worth, and what follows is a journey of self-acceptance, love, and complicated family dynamics amidst a small town background. #NA #CR #DIS #WOC #Asian
A photo with a night sky background, featuring an Indian woman in a blue lehenga and a man in a suit, representing my characters Diya and Theo. In yellow font is the title: A FAKE DATE FOR and in colors of red, purple, and orange respectively, is the word DIWALI. Decorations include fireworks, mandala, hanging lamps and flowers.

SAVING SATYAVAN ⭐

"How wonderful this feels, she thought, her heart soaring. To be so liberated…to be so undignified and thoughtless…She thought not once of her father’s disapproval, clinging to Suman as he brought her close in the midst of their throes of ecstasy."

On an orange background, this is a collage of the atmosphere that my novel gives. While there are light moments, many topics are heavy, including the burning of the Khandava Forest, Satyavan's death, and the inclusion of Naraka, Realm of the Dead. There are also points of the scenery of Ancient India, the romance between Savitri and Suman, and a glimpse of important objects in the story such as the bow and arrow. On an orange backdrop, this includes comparison novels such as "PERCY JACKSON" by Rick Riordan, "ARU SHAH" by Roshani Chokshi, "THE LEGEND OF MENAKA" by Kritika Rao, and "KAIKEYI" by Vaishnavi Patel. Popular tropes include: reverse grumpyxsunshine, myth retelling, feminine rage, & second chance. On an orange background, the title, SAVING SATYAVAN, the genre, a NA Historical Fiction, Romantic-Fantasy, the word length, 88,000, and the Pitch, where a woman goes to the underworld with a naive archer to rescue her husband's soul, learning about grief and redefining her identity in the process.
