Hi! Welcome to my website. Feel free to poke around and be nosy.
My first novel, SHINE, COCONUT MOON is scheduled to be released in March, but if you want to pre-order it, U.S. peeps can do that here, and Canadian peeps can do that here.
Samar--a.k.a. Sam--is an
Indian-American teenager whose mom has kept her away from her old-fashioned
family. It's never bothered Sam, who is busy with school, friends, and a
demanding boyfriend. But things change after 9/11. A guy in a turban shows up
at Sam's house--and turns out to be her uncle. He wants to reconcile the family
and teach Sam about her Sikh heritage. Sam is eager, but when boys attack her
uncle, chanting "Go back home, Osama!," Sam realizes she could be in danger--and
also discovers how dangerous ignorance is.
