Good morning everyone! I want to welcome you to the 2nd part of Day 16 of the 3rd Annual Romancing September Across the World Blog Tour. If you haven’t checked out Rosie’s post from earlier, then go by https://rosieamber.wordpress.com/ and get caught up.
Now on to today’s featured author, Here’s the question I asked:
What has been the biggest inspiration for your writing?
I would have to say my origins. My ancestors (three generations back) were from India; I grew up in a country considered part of Africa and where every major race and religion co-exists in harmony; I am a Muslim woman in the modern world; I’ve known globalisation from a very young age and have been open to the world for as long as I can remember. I am a melting pot – and this is what inspired my writing. My stories are melting pots of regions, cultures, traditions, world-views; where characters from every walk of life befriend each other and show the diversity of the world in race, religion, culture, but also showcase that at the heart of it, we’re all, despite our differences, just people striving for the same goals.

Todays featured book is “Whisk Me Up”. If you haven’t checked out the her book, then here’s a little about it and where to find it.
Book Description
After fainting backstage at a fashion week, supermodel Mary Beth Beresford is forced to go into hiding in the sleepy North Yorkshire village of Stonydale in Havisham Park when her sisters kidnap her and bring her there to their late father’s family stronghold so she’ll face the truth – she is anorexic.
Never one to be bossed around, Mary Beth attempts to break out the very next morning…only to land onto the path of the gorgeous, Viking-like pub owner and chef, Niall Barry.
Suddenly, sticking around in this one-horse town doesn’t look like Purgatory anymore.
But Niall is a very private person who shies away from celebrity, and Mary Beth is one of the biggest celebs on the planet. Not to mention that she is an aristocrat – daughter of the late earl and member of the peerage – while he is simply a working-class chef.
Is any relationship between them doomed to collapse like a failed soufflé?
