They red and after forwarding to their manager they gave me a feedback that is as follows;

      

Paperbacks of
Almost Submerged in Someone 

    "We see a lot of potential on your book.  We have read a lot of published books already and we firmly believe that yours is something that is worth publishing worldwide. These types of books (especially novels) are the ones that have succeeded in hollywood. Most novels have been turned into movies like Harry potter, Insidious, The Notebook, and many others. The theme of your novel is not the usual romantic story. It tackles about the integral elements of a relationship love, sacrifice, intimacy, commitment and trust. It proves that the triangular theory of love is indeed true.

As a Penguin company, we are honored to be part of your endeavor in the fulfillment of your dream of becoming an internationally published author."

The first autograph after launching

         I was stunned after reading this and became extremely happy and confident to move forward. After signing the contract, they published and launched my book with all the online retailers. "To be frank, PARTRIDGE supported and helped me a lot until I see the light of a published Author." 

        Now, I am satisfied and glad to know that my book is being now red and responding with their feedback. I really feel to write more and publish....

       

I had a dream that came true....

After the transmission of my manuscript from my PC
to the media as a book!!!

Almost Submerged in Someone is my debut novel which was published online in the month of October, 2014 by Partridge, A Penguin Random House Company. Publishing a book was not my intention, but just a dream that came true. I started working on this fiction in the year 2011. This novel consists of 344 pages, which tells a love story of Roshen Samuel and Jessie Joseph. It is based on teenage romance that shows trust love and hope. The familiarity of thoughts and places make the story more comforting and easy for the readers to imagine it throughout. Moreover, there is this suspense in the story that what will happen to the relationship of Jessie and Roshen, is quiet frustrating that readers will have the eagerness till the end of the book. The story starts from meeting a gorgeous and continues throughout with passionate romance with the insecurities of life as a teenager.
The main characters of this novel is Roshen Samuel and his girlfriend Jessie Joseph. Manju comes into the story as Roshen’s ex-girlfriend. Kishore, Suresh, Roopa and Joyal are Roshen’s friends. Suresh is a friend whom Roshen meets on the first day in the hostel. Apart from Suresh, the rest are his good old friends, right from his school days.    When Manju come in-between Roshen and Jessie’s life, the story takes a different phase where it tells how Jessie handles the situation with ‘trust’. When Roshen has to face the obstacle while Jessie leaves India and decides to move to America, with her father for the rest of her life, the story moves in a different way where Roshen simply waits for Jessie with a ‘hope’ that she would be back even after knowing his past relationship with Manju. On the other hand the story portraits the love from different angles; when Manju still wants Roshen back, Roshen loves Jessie blindly and Jessie trusts Roshen so much.The epilogue shows what happens to Roshen after three long years. Along with, it also reveals what happens to the rest of the characters, towards the very end of the story.Will Roshen take back Manju whom he broke up with once, or will he never leaves a girlfriend like Jessie.

'There is a letter that Roshen receives from Jessie that will take him to know more on what Jessie has to tell him through an e-mail from her.' This will make readers feel more anxious what decision will Roshen take in his life after reading her letter and the mail. The photo on the cover page shows this particular letter sent by Jessie. This novel has humour with suspense and various emotions involved in it.

I recently started writing a new book, which is titled “No More Faith in You”. It is the flashback of Almost Submerged in Someone. In the story, I am planning to elaborate the past life of Roshen Samuel with Manju and the story behind their break-up, which is not mentioned in the first novel (his ex-girlfriend in Almost Submerged in Someone). 

I always love to write fictions and enjoy creative writing a lot. Photography, drawing, reading, and travelling are my other interests apart from writing. Being an author, I want to continue writing romance fiction until I find a new taste in any other genre. Anyway, I like to do something that only I am confident with.

The books in my library, that I red in the
beginning of all.

Why I chose fiction is because I love creating characters and I could enjoy the freedom of using my fictional characters in what all ways I want. In the journey of my first book, the support I got from my family, relatives, cousins, publisher, friends and teachers are the finest reason why my book is now available all around the globe.

The dreams of publishing strike my mind when I saw the books written by young authors on my bookshelf and it changed my perception towards the world of publishing. Seeing that, I felt to get my book too on my bookshelf. The young authors who inspired me include Durjoy Datta and Nikita Sing. I also have red and enjoyed many more books by Ravinder Sing, Chetan Bhagat, Preeti Shenoy and several other authors. The feedbacks that I got from those whom I gave my manuscript to read, has acted as a good motivation for me and it gave me the confidence to publish the book worldwide and launch it into the market.
