Congratulations on
the release of your new novel “Love
Beyond Boundaries”. What kind of initial response you are receiving?
A writer is nothing without his readers. I am happy that I
am getting positive feedback from the readers in my email. It is feedback that
helps the author improve his writing and I am very grateful to all the readers
who poured their hearts out.
Tell me your thought
behind this particular book?
As a writer, I always keep my eyes wide open.
You never know from where the next idea would germinate and take form. I was
amazed myself about how this book got written. I have a Vision Board in my room
where I have pasted a picture of an Audi Q7. Just observing this picture,
thoughts of writing a book started entering my consciousness; the result “Love
Beyond Boundaries”
How much of Raj Patel is Parikshit
Rane?
There is a
lot of Raj Patel in Parikshit Rane. But, I would rather not reveal and keep
Parikshit a mystery to unravel.
Tell me something
more about your book “Love
Beyond Boundaries”.
Love beyond boundaries is a tale
of Raj Patel; a former Formula One driver who embarks on a journey to Sao
Paulo, Brazil to attend an art exhibition. Tudor, his agent assists in buying a
painting called ‘Soulmates’ which is filled with reiki energy by its
painter, Master Keitaro. Little does
Raj know that a pleasure trip to the Amazon to meet Peolona, the leader of the
Lynca tribe would alter the course of his life. The Shaman; an old lady of the
tribe gifts him an amulet to bring him closer to his true love and a magic wand
for his protection.
While returning from the Amazon, Raj’s helicopter encounters a black
hole. He finds himself in a parallel universe; a planet called Zorb, in a
country called Lambada, where there are talking trees and midgets. The love of
his life; Ramilia holds him in her lap. She narrates to him about the entire
planet barring Lambada being under the spell of the evil Snow Queen. He vows to
help her and then begins a quest to save Lambada. Earth bears the brunt of this
attack. They save both planets in the nick of time; living a peaceful
existence.
As you have a keen
interest in Reiki, I am curious to know how you came through it and how does it
matches to your writing field?
Reiki is Universal life force energy. It
brings us closer to our life’s purpose. Had I not known Reiki, I wouldn’t be a
Writer in the first place. Reiki has helped me by clearing away my past and
brought me to a better future; a future I look forward to every second of my
existence.
Did you have a target
readership in mind while writing this book?
Many Love Stories have been written till
now but not many in the field of fantasy fiction. Those who like this genre
will love my book. Once you step into the world of Raj Patel; you are in for a
fantastic journey into many enchanting lands.
How do you rate your experience with
your publisher?
I am grateful
to my publishers; Leadstart Publishing Pvt. Ltd. The experience has been very
good.
Who are all the persons who you think
have contributed to the book directly or indirectly?
Dr.
Manohar V.N.Shirodkar, M.B.B.S; Sc D (John Hopkins); my mentor. Mrs. Anjali
Sengupta; my Reiki Master (Teacher) and the support of my parents Ramesh and
Swatee Rane has been pivotal in my writing life.
Who are your
favourite authors? What kind of books you read?
W Somerset Maugham, Paulo Coelho, Richard Bach, J.K.Rowling,
J.R.R.Tolkien to name a few. You will find a lot of Fantasy Fiction, Romance
and Self help literature in my collection but I try and read books from all
genres.
Are you a full time
writer?
Yes. I am a full time writer.
Kindly throw some
light on your debut ‘“The Ancient Book”.
