At last I have found the time to put together a few pictures of the book launches for “It Can’t Be You.” Seeing them now, nearly two years after the book was launched gives me great pleasure.
Time flies and very soon, I’ll be celebrating the second anniversary of the launch of my debut novel, the psychological thriller, “It Can’t Be You.” It brings back many memories as for every writer the first published novel is a special creation, quite irrespective of what others may think of it!

Let me hasten to add that I have great regard for this initiative. It won’t be wrong to say that a large share for whatever little success I have enjoyed as a writer clearly goes to NaNoWriMo and all the Wrimos who I have interacted with.For the uninitiated, “Wrimos” are the folks who take part in NaNoWriMo.
