Featured Interview With Margaret Singh Punj
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I am a hopeless romantic! I was raised in India and I live in Punjab,India right now. And no I do not have pets. But I would love to have a dog someday.
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
Quite early I would say. My mother had this rule that you have to read at least a page when you go to bed at night. Gradually my brother and I got addicted to this. And there were days I would find it difficult to sleep if I would not read.
Writing happening may be in 8th grade. When we had to participate in poetry and creative writing competitions..
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
My list of favourite authors is quite long! Rhonda Bryne, Tehmina Durrani, Khuswant singh, Maragret Mitchelle, Ayn Rand, Jane Austin ,Taslima Nasrin… many more!
Favourite genres vary you see. Romance, Fiction, motivational books..all..I just read variety.
My husband inspires me in all my writings…..he is my muse, my mentor, my friend and my best and the toughest critic.
Tell us a little about your latest book?
‘The Love Prisoner’ is a romance novel. It is a story dealing with ego clashes, with multiple emotional issues youngsters go through during relationships. In this book you will also witness that little tug of war that each individual these days feels ..balancing love and career.
The lead characters Amaira and Adrian, hold on to their ego and are not ready to let go, to accept that they are in love. Ego is personified as ancient warriors, and each scene where the lead characters are battling their ego, a second plot moves in the background where personified ego (warriors) battle it on war ground.
It took me almost a year to write it and edit too.. It was a challenging at times, but I am happy with the results.
