The Red Turtle Good Book Guide

There is precious little I can tell you about myself except to state unequivocally that I am passionate about books, stories and storytelling. My mother insists I got drawn to books because I was inordinately shy. That might be true, but books also afforded me the opportunity to sit tight in a bookshop while my parents shopped and to pretend to not hear anything when I was called upon to run errands. Later, books became my source of fantasies - about people, places and events .They also became my best friends and succor when I was upset or distressed. Paulo Coelho stated,' And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you achieve it.' That's exactly what happened to me. I did my Bachelors in English Literature and an MBA, worked for years in Pharma marketing and Executive Search, and then got drawn into content and stories with Disney Publishing India. And I was well on my way, with writing books for pre-schoolers , non-fiction and fiction for young adults and adults.
