1. How did you come up with the idea for Shadowed in Silk? Were you happy with the book cover? It’s very intriguing.

I wanted to write a novel set in the flamboyant era of British rule over India called 'The Raj'. While reading about the Raj I discovered the Indian people felt invisible to their English rulers and so-called protectors.

The Old Testament story of Hagar means a great deal to me. While Hagar, and later her son, was crying out in the desert, God heard her and saw her, and cared about her secret pain.

Along with that, mix in the mystery of Indian culture of veiled women in Purdah, secrets....TO READ THE REST OF THIS INTERVIEW AND ENTER THE DRAWING CLICK THIS LINK http://psalm516.blogspot.com/2011/09/shadow-in-silk-giveaway-and-in...
