🌺🌺🌺 AUTHOR INTERVIEW 🌺🌺🌺 I am pleased to summarize the short interview with author Krishna Udayasankar. 🌺 Can you briefly introduce yourself  My name is Krishna Udayasankar and I am the author of The Aryavarta Chronicles (Govinda, Kaurava, Kurukshetra), Immortal, 3, Beast, Objects of Affection and now, The Cowherd Prince.   🌺 What are your hobbies?

My inspiration was along similar lines, though to less excellence for sure – I felt for all the efforts I had put in, I was still left wondering about Govinda Shauri, about what made him the way he was, what was his journey.   🌺Your favourite character from the book I enjoyed writing the villains very much. Also, the brother-owner, Kubja, is an emotionally-important character.   🌺 Did you face any difficulty while writing this book? Because this book is a prequel to my earlier The Aryavarta Chronicles series, I was quite worried that I had nothing new to say, that I could not do justice to characters that readers already knew and loved – which is why it took me seven years to finally get this book out. As for whether I did the right ..... ----------- Full Interview is on my blog.
