1. What genre(s) do you write?
2. Coffee or tea lover?
I write romance, women’s fiction and fantasy. And have a half-finished romantic suspense on the laptop that I’ll get to sooner or later ☺
Masala Chai is my wake up energy shot; home-brewed and spicy.
3. Name one thing on your bucket list.
A cruise to Antarctica. I hope I get to go before the ice sheets melts.
4. Do you have pets?
One amazingly sweet and handsome dog named Truffles. He’s almost 9 but bounces around like a puppy still!
5. When I wake up every morning I...Brush my teeth, have my tea and play a game of Scrabble.
6. Weirdest or unique thing you own.
Not so much as weird or unique, but I still have these seven rubber dwarves (think Snow White) from my first Disney visit…when I was three years old. (In case you’re wondering that was 42 years ago.)
7. Do you have any hobbies or particular skills?
I’m a dancer. I love dancing. Right now, I’m obsessed with Zumba and Latin dance.
8. What do you hope readers will experience or gain when reading your stories?
I want my readers to laugh and cry and hug themselves while reading my stories. I want them to wonder and think and hope and understand themselves and our world a little bit more.
9. What inspired you to write My Last Love Story?
So, several things had
been percolating inside me before I began writing My Last Love Story.
First, I'd read a book about a polyamorous relationship (Tempted
by Megan Hart) with an end I did not agree with. Two, I’d just finished
writing my fantasy novel, and one of the characters in that novel
(which is based in Indian mythology) was in a polyandrous marriage. I
guess my brain wasn’t ready to go back to thinking of a relationship in
terms of two people.
At
the same time, over the years, I’d seen close family deal with disease
and the aftermath of it. So, when I began imagining the characters for
the first time — who were they? Where did they come from? How would
polyamory work in a modern set up with Indian characters? What if all
three are from different faiths? What if one of them is terminal?
As I started answering all those questions, my story took shape.

“Promise me you will laugh every day. Fight every day. Do you know how beautiful you look when you’re angry? Promise me you’ll learn to cuss, learn to love again. Live again. Promise me you won’t give up on each other.”
Simi Desai is thirty years old and her husband is dying of cancer. He has two last wishes in his final months: first, that she’ll have his baby so that a piece of him lives on, and second, that she’ll reconcile with her old flame, who just happens to be their mutual best friend. And so over the course of their last summer together, Simi’s husband plans a series of big and small adventures for this unlikely trio, designed to help them say goodbye to each other and prove to Simi that it’s okay to move on without him—and even find love again.
Beautiful and poignant, Falguni Kothari’s My Last Love Story will pull your heartstrings as only unforgettable love stories can.

DeleteThank you so much for having me on your blog! I loved answering your questions. And I love our conversations. xoxo
ReplyDeleteYour book, My Last Love Story, has such an interesting premise was there anything in your life that influence you writing it?
ReplyDeleteHi Eileen, I am incredibly late answering this question...don't know where my brain was. The bit about Nirvaan's cancer and the actions he takes because of it is/was based on something that happened within my family. Not my life, per se, but I was definitely a close observer to many of the things that happened in the book.
DeleteTruffles is adorable. We also have a silly dog, Tyson. He is about 7 years old and always in motion. haha
ReplyDeleteThank you. Truffles says Woof! He's 9. :)
