As an author, there is nothing more rewarding than hearing from the people who breathe life into my characters, the readers. When I sit at my desk in Montreal, drafting the intense, emotive journey of a book like The Approved Affair, I often wonder how you will feel about Aarti's difficult choices or Aditya's transformation.
Storytelling has never been a monologue for me. It is a conversation. Your reactions, your reviews, and even your "taboo" whispers in private DMs are what fuel the fire of my next manuscript. (See: The Silent Reader) Each time you tell me a trope you love or a setting you want to see, a seed is planted in my imagination.
I need your help. To keep these conversations going and to reach more readers who love truthful Indian romance, I’ve recently launched new official profiles across multiple platforms. This community is still in its early days, and I am reaching out to you, my first and most dedicated readers, to help it grow.
"By following, sharing, or even just saying 'Hi,' you’re helping me bring these stories to light and showing more readers that they are not alone in their desires."
Growing a community of romance lovers who aren't afraid of the truth is my mission. If you've felt a connection to Aarti or Aditya, please consider following these new profiles and sharing my work with your friends. Your simple tap of the 'Follow' button or a shared post can help me reach someone who is waiting for a story exactly like this one.
Let's continue this conversation. I can't wait to hear from you and to learn which direction our next story should take.
With love and gratitude,
Riteeka
