NEWS! Free digital book. I am currently releasing a series of 50 articles about India via my blog on this site. Together they explore the history and culture of India from her most ancient civilisations to the nation’s ambitious space programme. All 50 articles will be collected into a digital book and published in due course.

NEWS! YOUR HELP NEEDED WITH A 3 MINUTE SURVEY. I’m currently leading on a UK ARTS COUNCIL-funded project aimed at helping authors of all backgrounds (and publishing industry professionals) navigate issues such as cultural misappropriation and avoiding stereotypes in fiction. The project also helps readers to better understand these issues. I would really appreciate your views on this topic to help inform the project. The tick-box survey is very short! Please do help and also forward on to others. The survey is here.

NEWS! My new novel is Midnight at Malabar House. This is the start of a new series set in 1950 in Bombay, and introducing Inspector Persis Wadia, India’s first female police detective. Find out more here.
