New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh joins us on the podcast this week to talk about her long standing career as a romance author and why she decided to try her hand at writing thrillers. Nalini chats to us about her publishing journey, why she decided to give indie publishing a try and become a hybrid author, and she tells us what it was like to be included on Oprah's list of Best Romances to Read in this Lifetime.
Nalini walks us through her journey to publication and the challenges she faced as an unagented author in New Zealand, and she explains how this helped prepare her for the digital publishing boom
She tells us why she decided to become a hybrid author and try her hand at indie publishing, and she tells us how she approaches series differently when publishing indie versus traditional
Nalini talks to us about her long standing career and why she believes a balance of reliability and openness to new things has been important to her success
She discusses plotting and writing long-running series, how she keeps readers interested over the span of many books, and she tells us how she keeps all of the details in her series organized after so much time
Nalini tells us about her newest foray into the thriller genre, how the writing process differed from writing romance, and she gives us insights into creating an unreliable narrator
Nalini was born in Fiji and raised in New Zealand. She spent three years living and working in Japan, where she took the chance to travel around Asia.
She has worked as a lawyer, a librarian, a candy factory general hand, a bank temp and an English teacher, but not necessarily in that order. Some might call that inconsistency, but she calls it grist for the writer's mill.
Nalini been writing for as long as she can remember. All of my stories held a thread of romance, even when writing about a prince who could shoot lasers out of his eyes. Creating unique characters and giving them happy endings is her favorite thing.
