5 Star review.

I invested in Meera and Krishan from the beginning. Both have tragic pasts. Meera is still recovering from a toxic marriage and breakup, and Krishan is grieving his soulmate, who died tragically. I enjoyed the developing connection between Meera and Krishan, the humour and the vivid settings. The storytelling is captivating, bringing the characters and events to life.

This week is the 5th anniversary of my publishing career. After sitting on my novel in two parts for 14 years. I self-published my story of baby loss. My Heart Sings Your Song is a Bollywood style romance set in the ‘80s in a university in Coventry.

Saz Vora @sazvoraauthor.bsky.social · Jan 8

My Heart Sings Your Songs ends with a wedding. But the road to Reena and Nikesh’s wedding is full of obstacles, unexpected twists and turns.
When they finally convince their family they are made for each other. Reena’s brother’s twins arrive too early and their wedding is in jeopardy.
#Skybook

A quote graphic featuring an excerpt from the book “My Heart Sings Your Song: A Story of First Love, Family and Destiny (University Reena & Nikesh Book 1)” by Saz Vora. The quote reads:

“Please, indulge me, my love. I know it’s not the same as an actual wedding. This is the day I’d been looking forward to, and then we …” He paused. ”… please, take the seven steps to eternal life with me today?”

The background features a soft-focus image of traditional Indian wedding elements, with a rose and an e-book cover of the book displayed in the bottom-left corner. The website www.sazvora.com is listed at the bottom.

I’m recovering from watching Silent Witness.
Anyone else found the story gripping and disturbing?

I’ve read more than write? Far too many books. Just wondering what number do you think is far too many? 50, 100, 200?

Yes, spreading the word how else will own voice writers get more readers.

Jeevani Charika / Rhoda Baxter @jeevanicharika.bsky.social · Dec 17

This is definitely true. This is why I review and generally bang on about books I like. I only have a tiny platform, but maybe someone with actual influence will pick it up and then I'll have more people to talk to about it!

Aidan Moher @aidanmoher.com · Dec 17

Seriously. I don’t think readers—and especially other writers—realize how effective we are at selling *other* people’s cool projects just by talking about how much we love them.

Signal boost the things you love!
