Hello all,
It has become fashionable for many to write off IWE novels as same old, repetitive, etc. Not so, says author Shauna Singh Baldwin http://beta.thehindu.com/arts/magazine/article105918.ece If you read her books, you'll know it is different. "The Tiger Claw" alone is enough to make you feel proud about your own heritage. There are several writers from the subcontinent like Azam Gill, whose novel "Blood Money" could easily put Irving Wallace, Tom Clancy and all popular suspense/thriller writers to shame and "Flight to Pakistan" will easily beat The Godfather any day for sheer storytelling and style. But I'm sure most of you haven't even heard of him. However, big publishing houses don't publish these authors unless they win an award as they aren't connected. The problem and fault lies with publishing houses and not necessarily with authors. What do you think?? Regards, Deepa
