I was busy in August, following Krishna Mishra as he went traveling in the Gour Amras resort. Yes, he traveled in COVID times, without a care in the world. Wait, before you get worried, Krishna Mishra is the detective in my Mystery series, and my fiction world banned COVID!
Everything I know and learn while Blogging and writing
The Krishna Mishra mystery started in March 2020. Almost at the same time as my travel plans fell flat. The first was published in April 2020 and book 2 was just released on August 31st.
While I wrote this second book I discovered something…
Writing fiction is like playing in the sand. You can build anything you want and let your imagination be wild.
All the voices which never seem to stop saying stuff to you work together to let your hands write down their words. They practically line up in a queue to tell their version of the story.
(Krishna Mishra Mystery Book 2)
Now Krishna Mishra got his name in part because I am a big fan of Lord Krishna and his super quotes. Mishra is another way of writing my surname after marriage. But it’s also because it came in my dream????. Yes, it did and I liked how it sounded.
So there was Krishna Mishra standing in my dream talking about appearing in my books.I did tell him I like reading and watching mysteries rather than write them.But he wouldn’t listen.
But who exactly is Krishna Mishra?
Krishna Mishra is an ex-Army intelligence officer and has MBBS under his belt. Then he specialized in Forensics medicine and enrolled in the army. Nowadays, he has his own detective agency. He is around six feet, lean muscled, mostly clean-shaven and likes traveling. He was a recluse before he met his wife and trust doesn’t come easy. He prefers mangoes the way they are, rather than shakes and in desserts.
His wife Ria is his best friend, assistant, boss, and famous in her own rights. A movie star turned journalist, she was petite and gorgeous. They love solving devious crimes and gorging on delicious food. Both don’t happen at the same time in most cases!
Now after all this build up I must tell you about my book.
Name
What Happened at Gour(A Krishna Mishra Mystery Book 2)
This is book 2 of the Krishna Mishra Mystery series and I enjoyed solving the crime while writing the book. The book is free on #Kindleunlimited so do give it a read.
A quick Blurb, if you haven’t read the first book.
Can the man solve the mystery that never was?
What about an attempted murder that’s dressed up like an accident?
Rohit Sinha, Krishna’s school friend was found unconscious in a twenty feet deep garden pit. His wife, Meenakshi, comes to Krishna for help. Was it an accident or an attempt on his life? Krishna enters the lion’s den, but can he play the game to win?
What happens when Krishna Mishra, who is used to cracking mysteries, finds himself stuck, not once but twice? What happens when its Ria who is in danger?
To find a killer, will he become bait ?
Krishna Mishra follows the trail of a crime that never was uncovering lies, clues, and a mystery buried so deep that history will be rewritten.
Abot writing fiction, nonfiction and the beautiful crazy mess that life is!
Writing fiction and nonfiction are two different buckets to fill. I enjoy doing both. But I do it alternately. It’s like my brain gets a rest from the deep-dive research mode of nonfiction and takes flights of fantasy when I write fiction.
Writing nonfiction helps me spread the word about a topic. Then when I finish writing a mystery my brain is happy to relax reading a medical textbook. There’s comfort in the familiar.
I like the ability to have control over what my character will cook and eat. Writing about the food they enjoy is superfun.
But is writing fiction easy? Its make-believe after all.No, it’s not. It’s like the tooth which id wobbly and pains till it falls and then you have this empty feeling inside. Till another story comes and sits there.
I love the ability to travel with my characters. It’s like having Goopi Bagha’s magic slippers or port keys or floo powder or a little bit of everything.
There are lots of reasons why I should probably not write fiction. Branding is one of them. But one good reason for me to do it-I enjoy this. I also thought of having a pen name. But the legal stuff behind that made my head reel.I decided to just write under my won name and see what happens.
The world needs fun,laughter,good food and mysteries .That’s why I wrote fiction in 2020.
