Advanced signing Rzeszow University, Poland

These nice students bought advanced copies of my new crime novel THE MISSING HUSBAND. I wasn't expecting such a good turnout, over sixty people. They listened kindly and asked interesting questions after my talk and reading. They were interested about how India inspires me and other writing influences  and also how to be published in such a crowded field .

This was my first visit to Poland, and the trip didn't disappoint.  The professors in Rzeszow looked after me very well and took me to dinner. I tried a popular Polish dish, Pierogi, which was very good.

Afterwards a short visit to Krakow, a pretty city with nice squares and churches. Here, there were many tourists from Europe and America . I was given a nice tour of the Jewish quarter by a professor. Some areas reminded me of a James Bond film from the 1960s set in Russia. A Jewish festival is held every year, although most of the Jewish community has left.

It felt slightly strange not to see hardly any black or Asian people. The Polish people however although outwardly reserved, were friendly once you started a conversation. I was glad they were interested in this British Indian author.

Invitation to Poland

I have been very kindly invited to do an advance reading of my new crime novel THE MISSING HUSBAND, at the University of Rzeskow in Poland this week.
I never thought I'd visit Poland when I started on my writing journey. I am however looking forward to meeting people in Poland.

The MISSING HUSBAND has arrived.

My publisher has sent me advance copies of my novel. The MISSING HUSBAND has arrived. A mix of emotions but I guess happy sums it up.

Countdown to advance Novel copies.

My publisher assures me that paperback copies of my new crime novel THE MISSING HUSBAND, will arrive within a few weeks. All the hard work and effort that went into writing this novel will finally crystallize in the form of a wonderful paperback. I'll be able to finally hold it in my hands. This is an exciting time for the author, actually seeing your work in a physical form.

I will now be able to introduce the first Private Detective Abhay Chauhan novel, set in Mumbai, to the readers .
The work to promote and sell copies has begun but will start in earnest in May and especially June 20th, 2019, when the novel is published .

Copies are available for pre-order from Amazon .co.uk and the publisher and my website.

I will place pictures of the novel hopefully soon on this blog.

To kick start my promotion  I've been kindly invited to a University in Poland this month, to do an advance reading of the novel. More details will follow of my first visit to Poland.
