An Old Friend Returns

Those of you have followed this blog regularly will be familiar with this week's special guest, Shobhan Bantwal.  She has visited us numerous times over the past few years--each time with a new book.  This time is no different, Full Moon Bride, her latest literary work, is now available.  Award-winning author Shobhan Bantwal calls her writing “Bollywood in a Book”—romantic, colorful, action-packed tales, rich with elements of Indian culture—stories that entertain and educate. Shobhan has five published novels by Kensington Publishing, with a sixth slated for 2012. Shobhan can be contacted through her website: www.shobhanbantwal.com or Facebook.

About Full Moon Bride

What makes a marriage—love or compatibility? Passion or pragmatism? THE FULL MOON BRIDE is a compelling story that explores the fascinating subject of arranged marriage, as young Indian-American attorney Soorya Giri navigates the gulf between desire and tradition.

In choosing between two very different men, Soorya must reconcile her burgeoning independence and conservative background. And she must decide what matters most to her—not just in a husband, but in a family, a culture, and a life.

Later this week, I will be posting my review of Full Moon Bride, but tomorrow I'd like to share with you a wonderful interview I had the pleasure of doing with Ms. Bantwal.  I know you will find her as charming and insightful as I do.
