“Know and Tell with Kosmas” is a podcast with one of the largest audiences in India and throughout Asia. It’s run by Kosha Shah Chandaria, a celebrated Indian author, and each month she invites two authors to join her on the podcast to talk about how they started writing books and how they plan them.
She tends to choose authors from the same genre and this month I was lucky enough to be asked to join her and Sohil Makwana, who, like me, writes detective mystery fiction, and is one of the most prolific writers in India.
The podcast is done on Instagram and if you go onto YouTube, it can be accessed at www.youtube.com/@_kosmos_85 you can listen in and see us in all our glory!
The podcast lasted about an hour and from my point of view it was fascinating to hear how another mystery writer undertakes his craft. Amazingly, Sonil and I write in very similar ways, though I suspect he’s more disciplined in how he writes.
Overall it was a fascinating experience and I felt honoured to be asked to represent the UK!
