Happy Birthday To Me
Mahalo,
I’m listening to There’s Nothin’ Holding Me Back by Taron Egerton, Tori Kelly and the entire cast of Sing 2 and bopping along to it as I write this edition of The Writer Gal Letter! Postmate, you’re reading this TWGL while it’s midnight in India and I’m OFFICIALLY celebrating my birthday. No, there’s no midnight cake but I have two delicious meals and cake tomorrow - on the 22nd! And a massive family celebration to bring in my awesome news and my dad’s birthday, later in the weekend.
Although, truly, this whole month since Blaze’s release has been BEYOND wonderful for me. And, even as I write this edition, both Blaze and Dissent are still sitting with their #1 tags in their respective categories. All because you, dear Postmate, have gone all out and loved my/our books and stories. How can I ever thank you for the monumental gift you’ve given me?
I’m going to try!
Now, without much ado let’s dive into the juicy goodness of this edition of The Writer Gal Letter, shall we?
Note: You’ll start seeing the USA Today Bestselling Author tag covers on all the books and, hopefully, on the existing paperbacks and my little heart is SO THRILLED I get to share this milestone with you! Isn’t it AWESOME? And on a Dissent note, we’ve managed to raise an enormous amount of money but every dollar counts so please, continue supporting it and read The Story of Us exclusively in Dissent - it’s going to go into deep freeze at the end of October for the rest of the year, when the anthology concludes its run!
A Quick Poll
I stuck this poll in the last TWGL at the very end prompting many of you to skip it. So I’m redoing this one right at the beginning of this TWGL. Just click on whatever options work for you, Postmate.
Now onto ALL the gifts!
Love The Way You Lie Is Free! Just for Today
The last book in my very first, most-cherished series - Filthy Rich Geeks - Love the Way You Lie is free just for today and tomorrow, Postmate. That’s 21-22 September. It’s my little birthday gift to you so you can gobble up this delicious enemies to lovers, reformed bad boy, cruise ship romance ASAP and love it as much as I do.
When I did an Instagram Poll on which of my heroes is the readers’ favorite, Bharat Srinivasan was a UNANIMOUS #1. I didn’t even believe it but there you go! Now you get to experience one of most favorite books for the first time, if you’ve not read it yet. There is no need to read the previous three books in the series to enjoy Bharat and Sophia’s story but, you know, I’m not going to stop you from visiting the characters that truly began my Indie Author journey and stoked this fire that keeps on…well, burning!
As always, for KU readers, this is your chance to get the book forever for you! :)

A New Releases Update
So, I’m working on plotting Tempt/Crave which is Nihaal’s business partner Nashit and his younger sister Pehel’s epic showdown of a love story that begins with Pehel’s…well, I am not spoiling it yet for those who haven’t read Blaze yet. But yeah, I’ve had people DMing me with, we did NOT see that coming! :P
ALSO: Rest assured, regardless of what the pre-order date says on Amazon, these two books are coming out before December 31, 2022 so you can pre-order with confidence at the special pre-order price. (As long as I can tell the best possible story for Pehel and Nashit, Nihaal and Mili, and…okay I can’t scoop this duet anymore than I already have :P)
I’m also working on a sweet and tender and sexy romantic comedy featuring LJ Raghavan and Ben Dewar from The Worst Daughter Ever and a couple of their friends. I promise I’ll tell you ALL about TWDE in my next edition because I don’t think I’ve EVER talked about it with you, Postmate. Get ready to know the screwsy, zany, funny version of the Aarti you know and love, Postmate.
That is it for this edition of The Writer Gal Letter. I’ll be punch drunk from celebrating my best birthday month ever at the other side of this newsletter, Postmate. And you, you’ve made this possible in a big way for me. So yeah, thank you for always being there.
Till the next time,
Stay safe and awesome.
Xx
